President Trump holds midterm rally in Clarksville, Tennessee – October 10, 2026
President Trump revealed his next quest to change the name of a landmark by claiming one of the five oceans as American.
Trump said during a rally on Saturday in Clarksville, Tennessee, that he wants to change the name of the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean to “Trump Ocean or Ocean of the Americas,” and the name of the Strait of Hormuz between the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman to the “Trump Strait.”
He also said that he wants a river, but left the Hudson River in New York off the table. “That’s too much. Henry Hudson, he did a good job sailing up that sucker a long time ago,” he said.
“We’re taking out more barrels of oil right now from the Hormuz Strait — we’re thinking about renaming it to the Trump Strait,” Trump said, causing the crowd to go wild with cheers.
“Well, I’m not going to do it; I wouldn’t want to do it. I’ll get Bill Hagerty and Marsha [Blackburn], she’ll come in from the governorship to do it. No, we’re thinking about doing it,” he added, noting that he already changed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and Lake Ontario to Lake America.
“We had the Gulf of Mexico, and I said one day — and everyone thinks I kid. I said one day, you know, I think we should name it the Gulf of America, right? And everybody smiled. ‘Oh, that’s so funny!’ I did it, right? It’s done,” he said.
“And look at Lake Ontario. Canada has been ripping us off for 50 years, charging us massive tariffs. Everyone says, like, ‘Oh, Canada’s so nice.’ They treat us terribly. They really treated us terribly. They’re not treating us terribly anymore. But I decided that Lake Ontario should be renamed to Lake America. So we’ve got the Gulf, we’ve got a beautiful lake.”
But we don’t have a river or an ocean, Trump pointed out.
“So we need a river, and we need an ocean,” he said.
“So I was thinking of either the Atlantic or the Pacific. We call it Trump Ocean, or Ocean of the Americas, something like that.”

Trump previously floated the idea on August 27, when he signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario.
“We have a gulf, and we have a lake. Now all we need is an ocean,” he said. “So, maybe we’ll have to change the name of the Atlantic and/or the Pacific. Maybe we’ll change them both.”
