US President Donald Trump turned his Republican Party’s midterm convention in Dallas into a showcase for his trademark political rhetoric on Wednesday, suggesting the Strait of Hormuz should be renamed the “Trump Strait” as he sought to rally voters behind the GOP ahead of the November elections.“I think we should call the Hormuz Strait the Trump Strait.
I should get something out of it.
The Trump Strait,” Trump told the crowd, referring to the strategically vital waterway amid heightened tensions with Iran.Trump also renewed his pitch for renaming Lake Ontario claiming that the water body should be called “Lake America” and suggesting New Mexico could become “New America”. “Canada very much wants to make a deal.
They're dying to make a deal.
But it's going to be called Lake America,” he said.The remarks came as Trump used his keynote address to make a broader pitch for Republican candidates and his administration’s record.
