Kennedy Statement on Trump’s Pathetic Lake Ontario Renaming Proposal | U.S. Congressman Timothy M. Kennedy Skip to Content Press Releases Kennedy Statement on Trump’s Pathetic Lake Ontario Renaming Proposal Share on Facebook Share on X Print this Page Share by Email Buffalo, NY, August 25, 2026 Tags: Jobs and Economic Development “If Donald Trump spent half as much time trying to make life more affordable as he does trying to rename bodies of water, working families might actually be able to afford their rent, utility bills, and food costs. His pathetic proposal to rename Lake Ontario to “Lake America” proves what we already know him to be: a petty, vindictive, failed president. “By declaring economic war on Canada, our strongest ally and New York’s largest trading partner, President Trump is waging that same war on border communities like Western New York, and we have been paying the price. Canadian tourism to New York is down 26 percent and Canadian spending is down 28 percent. “After picking fights with our allies and losing illegal wars of choice with our adversaries, President Trump is cementing his place as the worst president in the history of our country. ” ### Related News Kennedy Introduces Bipartisan STORMWATER Act to Strengthen Water Infrastructure and Protect Great Lakes Communities August 27, 2026 | Posted in Press Releases Protecting a Piece of History: Kennedy Announces NPS Approves Long Overdue Funding for Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site August 13, 2026 | Posted in Press Releases Empty Shelves, Weaker Communities: Kennedy Calls for Passage of Three Bills to Combat Food Deserts Outside Shuttered Buffalo Grocery Store August 4, 2026 | Posted in Press Releases Investing in the Next Generation: Congressman Kennedy Announces $2.9 Million in Federal Funding for The Service Collaborative of WNY’s Workforce Development Programs July 24, 2026 | Posted in Press Releases
