Trump vows to rename Denali, North America’s tallest mountain, as Mount McKinley
www.theguardian.com

Democratic former president Barack Obama renamed the mountain using the local natives’ name of Denali in 2015, after a decades-long naming battle

If you are so sad, you have to name a mountain back to a president whose biggest achievement was tariffs:

(which were not well received, btw).

    Looks like the incoming administration is specifically looking for racist things they can put on their agenda.

    With all that productive worker deporting, health care destruction, billionaire coddling, diplomatic relations destroying, and doing as many racist things as they can manage, they will have a busy term with no time for actually governing.

    Sorry Donnie. Has to get through Congress along with all the other “deals” you used this weekend to deflect your utter failure of last week.

      Alaskans have always called it Denali, so the official change was widely appreciated.

    Also, renumber the presidents, adding Jefferson Davis and removing Obama.

    I mean, it could always be worse, he could insist the new name is Mount Trump.

      Heard about him wanting to rename it before hearing what he wanted to rename it to and actually just assumed he was. I’m genuinely surprised he’s not tbh

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
