Illinois Governor Mocks Trump With Satirical Lake Michigan Renaming

Gov. JB Pritzker's parody video pokes fun at Trump's recent geographical renaming proposals and alludes to political and sports rivalries.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker released a parody video renaming Lake Michigan as 'Lake Illinois' and claiming it was determined by 'the world's finest geographers.'
The satirical proclamation was a response to President Trump's executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the 'Gulf of America.'
Pritzker extended the joke by announcing plans to annex Green Bay, Wisconsin, referencing Trump's past interest in acquiring Greenland.
The video also included a nod to the longstanding football rivalry between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers, adding a humorous sports angle.
Pritzker's video underscores his role as a vocal critic of Trump and comes amid ongoing tensions, including a recent federal lawsuit against him and other Illinois officials.
