US President Donald Trump said that he tried to name an ocean after him, but Google rejected his idea.
She said International media Trump’s statement came during an election rally in the state of Georgia, where he claimed that he proposed to representatives of the technology giant “Google” to change the name of the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean to “Trump’s Ocean.”
Trump told his supporters that he had sent Google a map with the name “Trump’s Ocean” written on it, but the company’s representatives refused to implement the idea.
Trump quoted them as saying, “We can’t do this. Oceans are different; they cover areas that include many, many countries. We can’t do that.”
Trump indicated that he was only joking – this time – but added that the idea was not the worst of the ideas he had ever had.
In 2025, Trump issued an executive order to change the name of the “Gulf of Mexico” to “America’s Gulf,” followed by changing the name of “Lake Ontario” – located on the Canadian border – to “Lake America” earlier this year.
Trump also previously raised the idea of changing the name “Strait of Hormuz” It became “Trump Strait,” in a move that appears aimed at provoking Iran, against which the United States is waging a war.
