A Canadian fan attending Team USA’s game at the FIBA World Cup on Friday has taken aim at President Donald Trump.
The fan brought a sign to the game that expressed her apparent displeasure with Trump’s recent executive order renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America.
On one side of the sign, the fan wrote, “Lake America?” in blue marker. The fan then turned the sign around to express her disdain, writing “Lake Ontario!!” in red marker.

“The Lake of America was something I’ve been thinking about for a long time, actually. As you know, we took something called the Gulf of Mexico — we changed it — and now it’s very routinely the Gulf of America,” Trump said in the Oval Office last month.
The executive order called the United States the greatest protector of the Great Lakes.

“Without the security and investment provided by the United States, this freshwater system would not be open for shipping, recreation, and responsible use to the same extent as it is today.”
