‘Typical Trump, silly joke’: ‘Lake America’ has Canadians laughing The internet meme "Lake America" has captured the collective attention of social media platforms.
It originated from a series of tweets by Donald Trump, who boasted about building a wall along the US Canada border and implied that Canada would pay for it.
Trump's assertion that draining the Great Lakes would create a massive lake within American borders is a tongue in cheek notion that has become the crux of the meme.
