In an apparent jab at President Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico, the governor of Illinois has his sights on Lake Michigan.
In a video posted on social media, Governor JB Pritzker jokes he’s renaming it.
“The world’s finest geographers, experts who study the Earth’s natural environment, have concluded a decades-long council and determined that a great lake deserves to be named after a great state,” Pritzker said. “So today I’m issuing a proclamation declaring that here and after Lake Michigan shall be known as Lake Illinois. The proclamation has been forwarded to Google to ensure the world’s maps reflect this momentous change.”
There’s been no response yet from Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
