ILLINOIS - Gov. J.B. Pritzker trolled President Donald Trump in a video Friday, joking that he would rename Lake Michigan to "Lake Illinois." The move comes after Trump signed an executive order ...
Illinois last month had delayed signing paperwork with the Army Corps of Engineers, citing “uncertainty” of funding from the Trump administration.
On his political social media account, Pritzker said Lake Michigan will be named Lake Illinois. The governor also said he plans to make an “important announcement” about the Mississippi River.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker jokingly announced on Friday, February 7, that the name of Lake Michigan had been changed to Lake Illinois, poking fun at President Donald Trump’s Gulf of America.
