Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker trolls President Trump with satirical "Lake Illinois" stunt

• He also said he's going to annex Green Bay from Wisconsin.

What they're saying: "The proclamation has been forwarded to Google to ensure the world's maps reflect this momentous change," Pritzker said in the video.

• "I've also instructed my team to work diligently to prepare for an important announcement next week regarding the Mississippi River."

The intrigue: Instead of firing off statements or attacking Trump over recent policies, Pritzker is separating himself from other Democrats by taking comedic jabs at the president over his recent declaration to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America."

Yes, but: Comedy is all about timing, and Trump's Gulf of America declaration is weeks old, which feels like years in this news cycle.

Between the lines: Pritzker has been rumored to be interested in higher office, including a presidential run in 2028.

• He's also named in a recent DOJ lawsuit attempting to overturn the state of Illinois' immigration policies.

Reality check: Trump and Pritzker have fought before. Trump has maligned Pritzker in the press over his appearance while Pritzker was Vice President Kamala Harris' attack dog on the campaign trail, slamming Trump routinely.

The bottom line: Comedy aside, this political rivalry is heating up.
