Story summary

At a recent rally in Clarksville, Tennessee, President Donald Trump suggested renaming either the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean as the "Trump Ocean" or "Ocean of the Americas," eliciting enthusiastic cheers from his supporters. This proposal follows previous moves to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" and Lake Ontario as "Lake America." During the rally, which was held on October 10, 2026, Trump also joked about needing a great river to rename but ruled out changing the names of the Hudson River or the Mississippi River. The president's remarks were part of his campaign efforts ahead of the upcoming midterm elections in November, where he is supporting Republican candidates like Senator Bill Hagerty and gubernatorial candidate Marsha Blackburn.
