Donald Trump Vows to Rename Tallest Mountain in United States

[anonymoose]

President-elect Donald Trump vowed on Sunday to rename the tallest mountain peak in the United States, the "Denali" back to its former name "Mount McKinley."
The peak, located in Denali National Park and Preserve in south-central Alaska, is the tallest mountain in the U.S., with an elevation of more than 20,000 feet. It was previously named Mount McKinley in 1896 after Republican William McKinley, the 25th U.S. president who was assassinated in 1901.

Then-President Barack Obama had then changed the name of the peak to Mount Denali during a 2015 trip to Alaska in an effort to recognize Alaska Natives and the language they have used for centuries as the name means "the high one" in Athabaskan.

I never stopped calling it Mt. McKinley.

The natives in the area called it Denali. Why not let the people of Alaska decide? It is not the business of the federal gov't to do it.

 

[Diogenes]

It is not the business of the federal gov't to do it.

Says who?

Mount McKinley was officially renamed Denali by the Obama administration in 2015. The change was enacted by Interior Secretary Sally Jewell under the authority of President Barack Obama.

Roll, Tide!

Just because the federal gov't did something, does not mean it is their job.

Let each state name the mountains, lakes and such.

That ship has sailed.

Did you promptly post in petulant protest when Obama did it in 2015?

Roll, Tide!

Roll, Tide!

I never post petulantly.

And actually, I was unaware it happened. Yeah, I know the federal gov't has done things they shouldn't or that were none of their business.

It is for Alaska to decide.

 

[Diogenes]

I never post petulantly. I was unaware it happened.

So you say.

Mount Denali is located within Denali National Park and Preserve, which is managed by the U.S. federal government through the National Park Service (NPS).

Roll, Tide!

Roll, Tide!

Why are you against letting the citizens of Alaska name or rename a mountain that is in their state?

Do you want the federal gov't renaming all mountains, lakes and even streets in your state?

 

[WinterBorn]

So you say.

Mount Denali is located within Denali National Park and Preserve, which is managed by the U.S. federal government through the National Park Service (NPS).

Roll, Tide!

Yes, I say. And since I am the expert on what I think, say or post, you can take it as factual. Or not.

I don't recall expressing an opinion either way. Are you OK?

Roll, Tide!

 

[Diogenes]

Yes, I say. And since I am the expert on what I think, say or post, you can take it as factual. Or not.

Or not.

Roll, Tide!

 

[WinterBorn]

Or not.

Roll, Tide!

And you think that matters?

 

[Cypress]

When are MAGA morons going to learn Trump makes promises he never keeps?
His staff are just handing him ideas to post about on Truth Social to get a rise out of the MAGA moron base

 

[WinterBorn]

I don't recall expressing an opinion either way. Are you OK?

Roll, Tide!

It certainly seems as though you were arguing with me.

But we can make it simple.

Do you think the states or the federal gov't should name landmarks that are entirely within that state?

 

[Diogenes]

And you think that matters?

I didn't say it does, but here you are. Again.

Roll, Tide!

 

[WinterBorn]

I didn't say it does, but here you are. Again.

Roll, Tide!

Yep, I am here. Which has nothing to do with what I said.

 

[Diogenes]

It certainly seems as though you were arguing with me.

"Seems" like a "you" problem, from my perspective.

I don't care one way or t'other.

Roll, Tide!

 

[Diogenes]

Yep, I am here. Which has nothing to do with what I said.

So you care? That's awfully sweet, if it's so.

Roll, Tide!

If you meet any, you can let 'em know, sex pest.
