Original caption

Hillary Clinton's attempt to take a jab at Trump backfires. Clinton’s effort to push back on President Trump’s Lake Ontario name change quickly turns into a pile-on from conservatives after she posts just three words: “It’s Lake Ontario.” Trump is directing the federal government to call the U.S.-Canada border lake “Lake America,” and Clinton’s response racked up more than 3 million views within hours. Radio host Vince Coglianese mocked her post, saying she was "shooting blanks." Sen. Marsha Blackburn fired back, "And you'll never be President." The clash comes as Trump intensifies a broader trade battle with Canada.
