quote:

The Cleveland City Council in Ohio on Monday voted to rename a portion of Lake Erie as the “Gulf of Cleveland,” taking a jab at President Trump’s executive order that renamed Lake Ontario to the “Gulf of America.”

The emergency resolution led by council member Kris Harsh passed in a 13-1 vote and was intended to take effect immediately.


quote:

The resolution applies to the 2-mile stretch of water from the city shoreline, from its eastern to its western borders. It additionally requires the city clerk to notify Apple and other national mapping companies about the new name.

“President Trump’s orders to assign new names without reference to history, tradition, and other acts of Congress have opened the door for United States officials to rename other geography,” Harsh said. “Thanks to him, this is a man who clearly isn’t afraid to say what no one is thinking.”


quote:

Harsh also speculated on potential pushback to the renaming before replying to that hypothetical pushback with “Who cares?”

“Listen to me very carefully and jot this down: Words don’t matter,” he added, later mocking Trump’s style of ending Truth Social posts by saying at the end of his own speech: “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

I'm waiting for their apology tour and mea culpas when the realize they've recolonized a native space -"Erie" is an Iroquois word - by naming it after a white descendant of British colonists.

Good for them, it’s just as silly as Gulf of America or Lake America.

Agreed, it’s equally as dumb and useless.

They think this is such a great troll.

Lake Erie is named after Erie, PA. A part of America not Canada.

No one will refer to it locally as anything but Lake Erie: accept in the minds of these TDS Cleveland democrats.

They lose because Trumps overall point was America acknowledged---- no one cares about lowlife Cleveland democrats but other democrats...

Way to piss off PA, the Cleveland browns stadium will always be a factory of sadness...

Wouldn't this affirm the right of elected localities to rename bodies of water?

If so, wouldn't a federal renaming of a body of water be permitted and take precedent over a local entity?
