Joe Rogan suggested that Donald Trump's Lake Ontario renaming could be a distraction from the ongoing US war with Iran. On Tuesday's The Joe Rogan Experience, comedian Brian Simpson asked Rogan why Trump would rename the lake 'Lake America'. Rogan was blunt in his response: 'To distract you from the fact that we're in a war that we can't win in Iran.'

He added, 'It doesn't make any sense. Like, who cares? It's Lake Ontario. It's a good name. We've had that name forever.' His comments came days after Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to use 'Lake America' in official geographic references.
