US president-elect Donald Trump has said he will rename Denali, Alaska natives’ name for North America’s tallest mountain, after William McKinley, the 25th US president who was assassinated in 1901.
Democratic former president Barack Obama in 2015 officially renamed the mountain as Denali, siding with the state of Alaska and ending a decades-long naming battle. The peak had been officially called Mount McKinley since 1917.
“They took his name off Mount McKinley,” Trump said in a speech to supporters in Phoenix on Sunday. “He was a great president,” Trump, a Republican, said, adding that his administration will “bring back the name of Mount McKinley because I think he deserves it.”
Swore this was an onion article.
I know they won’t, but I really want someone to ask Trump to tell them three things he knows about William McKinley.
Because I am guessing that he knows two things about William McKinley:
- He was a president.
- They named a mountain after him.
Want he assassinated in 1901?
Trump wouldn’t know. That’s the point.
Really important stuff here. You’re still gonna lower grocery prices though right? Right?
Right after he lowers grocery prices.
Apparently, Trump has been sharing both Big Macs and brain worms with RFK Junior.
If RFK gave him any brain worms, they’ve surely died of starvation by now.
McKinley never even set foot in Alaska. This regressive skidmark is going to rename the tallest mountain in the world, base-to-peak, after a mediocre president? Native peoples of the region have been calling it Denali for centuries and, “the Alaska Board of Geographic Names changed the name of the mountain to Denali in 1975, which was how it is called locally.” I know this is just contuining rallying of his voter-base and attempts to shake folks from paying attention to his continuous ramshackling of what’s left of American functionality, yet still it worked - my jimmies are rustled. I am displeased with myself. I can only hope he vists the mountain and then stuff stuffs…
Thank God this is finally happening so that the cost of eggs will go down. /s
Ignore him. He’s trying to distract you from his failures. Don’t get angry at the distractions - get angry at the failures.
