President-elect Donald Trump said he would rename North America's tallest mountain reversing a change made by former President Obama while he was in office.
Speaking at a conservative TurningPoints USA conference in Phoenix, the 78-year-old said he would rename Alaska's Mount Denali to Mount McKinley after the 25th president.
'They took his name off Mount McKinley,' Trump told supporters on Sunday. He praised McKinley as a 'great president' and said his administration would bring back the name Mount McKinley 'because I think he deserves it.'
It comes after Obama sided with the state of Alaska in the long-running dispute over the highest mountain peak's name in 2015 and had it changed

It's going to be a full time job renaming all the woke new names for stuff and untoppling statues. I absolutely agree with the sentiment but at some point, it's tilting at windmills. Bigger fish to fry, Donald, let's hope this culture war is organically advanced by administrative wins.

I hope all the name changes in recent years can be reversed. Some sites in our area were given silly names that no one can pronounce.

Excellent news! Once you get started, President Trump, you keep going.
Shoot, just replacing all the statues the commies tore down could provide a considerable number of jobs nationwide. They could also emblazon the new statues with "Made in America"! It's about time these commie fools, and their idiotic ideology, are shown the door. That is, you don't like it? Maybe you ought to move to a country that is more befitting your lunacy.

That was its original name anyway. Too many bureaucrats with nothing to do.

Tappan Zee Bridge became the Mario Cuomo Bridge.
It needs to become the Tappan Zee Bridge again.
(bridge crosses the Hudson River above NYC)

I hope Trump reverses every thing done by Biden or Obama, and all the progress toward communism that has also been allowed by Republicans.

Reverse the military base names as original. Adopt a law to bar the change of names once given. Such a silly game.

I really don’t care about any of this (Canada, Greenland, Mt. McKinley/Denali) except that it trolls the left big time and makes their heads explode. That alone is worth it. I would like to have the Panama Canal back, though. I remember when our worthless peanut farmer of a president gave it away. That was one of many low points of that grinning fool’s presidency.

I spent a week in Denali National Park last year and referred to the mountain as Mt. McKinley in every possible conversation. And I still refer to Lake Calhoun whenever passing through the Twin Cities of Mogadishu-Mohammed. Someone on this forum once defined Minnesota Nice as 'being so open-minded that your brains often fall out'. Seems even more accurate now that the world has met their governor!

Don’t forget the football teams, especially in DC. To real fans they are still the Redskins. Only the woke call them the Commanders.

The only good rename, is a reversed rename. And the Redskins could have kept their name...just changed the team logo from a brave to a small red potato.

So my next question is....why did Barack HUSSEIN Obama need to change the name...was it in keeping with his attempt at demoralizing Americans....erasing our history that WE identify with...that sounds very anti-American to me...it's like admonishing US...that WE didn't build that....when referring to our roads and rails....and bridges...it was like he wanted to diminish our worth as a nation of doers....he was some piece of work.....
