Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker recently made headlines with a satirical response to President Donald Trump's unconventional executive orders. In a choreographed video, Pritzker humorously announced the renaming of Lake Michigan to 'Lake Illinois,' in a playful nod to Trump's renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.
Pritzker, with a straight face, declared that the world's top geographers had decided that a great lake deserved to be named after a great state, leading to the proclamation changing Lake Michigan's name. The Governor even joked about annexing Green Bay from Wisconsin, mirroring Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland.
