In a humorous jab at President Trump, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker released a satirical video announcing the renaming of Lake Michigan to "Lake Illinois." Mimicking Trump's executive order that changed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, Pritzker's video features staged camera clicks and a tongue-in-cheek declaration about the lake's new moniker.

The governor jokingly cited a fictional council of geographers who determined the lake deserved to be named after a "great state." He even claimed to have notified Google to update world maps to reflect this "momentous change," mirroring Trump's expectation that Google would update the Gulf of Mexico's name following his executive order.

Continuing the playful parody, Pritzker went on to propose annexing Green Bay, Wisconsin, drawing a parallel to Trump's previously expressed interest in acquiring Greenland. This jesting annexation was presented as a measure to "protect Illinois against enemies, foreign and domestic."

Pritzker concluded his video with a hint towards future pronouncements, mentioning an upcoming announcement concerning the Mississippi River. He signed off with a playful "Bear down," a reference to the Chicago Bears football team, rivals of Wisconsin's Green Bay Packers.

This satirical video comes amidst ongoing legal battles between the Justice Department and Illinois regarding the state's sanctuary city policies. The lawsuit alleges that Illinois's laws obstruct federal immigration enforcement, violating the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.

Pritzker and Trump have a history of disagreements, including clashes over birthright citizenship and the distribution of personal protective equipment during the pandemic.
