Trump says Google's CEO rejected his plan to change the Atlantic's name to the 'Trump Ocean'

After changing the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario, Trump has set his sights on a bigger body of water.

Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images Google CEO Sundar Pichai said no Trump asked him to rename the Atlantic Ocean, the president said.

Trump has floated the idea of renaming either the Atlantic or the Pacific to the "Trump Ocean." Earlier this year, he issued orders to change the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.

President Donald Trump's plan to rename the Atlantic Ocean hit choppy waters when he took it to Google.

At a Wednesday rally in South Carolina, Trump said he considered putting his name or "America" on one of the two oceans that flank the US: the Atlantic and the Pacific.

"I’m not going to put either Trump or America on any other ocean but these two," he told the crowd.

Then, he said, he called Google to ask about making the change on Google Maps.

The tech giant had previously changed its US labels for the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario to the Gulf of America and Lake America after executive orders from the president.

"I spoke to a brilliant guy, Sundar.

He heads all of Google," Trump said, referring to CEO Sundar Pichai .

He also praised Google cofounder Sergey Brin , calling both men "totally brilliant guys," before joking that they were "still rattled from the Gulf." Trump recounted putting his idea directly to Pichai: "Sundar, I’m thinking of the Atlantic Ocean.

Can you handle it?" "No, no, no.

This time I’m not doing it," Trump quoted Pichai as replying.

"Oceans are different, sir.
