It is labeling them properly though? In the US it’s called Lake America which is now the official American name for it. In the rest of the world it’s named Lake Ontario.
Thing is, it’s not unusual for bodies of water to have different names depending on where you’re from. What we call Läänemeri (Western Sea), the Germans call Ostsee (Eastern Sea). You likely know it as the Baltic Sea.
But it’s not called that, and it’s not the official name.
Naming shit isn’t a presidential power. His declaration has no more weight than if he announced that from now on your legal name was Vicky.
It’s silly and stupid, but also genuinely dangerous when groups with as much power as Google has declare that they’re willing to let a madman dictate how they describe reality.
