Why it worked
The video likely resonated due to its relatable sentiment of not caring about trivial naming conventions and its humorous, slightly absurd take on a well-known geopolitical figure. The use of a popular platform like Google Maps as a reference point also adds to its accessibility.
Summary
The creator expresses indifference to the naming of Lake Ontario, stating that as long as Google Maps and other GPS applications display it as Lake Ontario, they are content. They humorously suggest that even if it were named after Donald Trump, it wouldn't matter to them.

Product placement
Google Maps: it ACTS as a mapping and navigation tool, showing the location of Lake Ontario. Removing it would change what happens in the video. Apple Maps: it ACTS as a mapping and navigation tool, showing the location of Lake Ontario. Removing it would change what happens in the video. Donald Trump: he merely APPEARS as a name mentioned in speech. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
