Alaskans Say Trump Can Change the Name of Denali But Can't Make People Call it Mount McKinley
Newsmax ^

Posted on 01/26/2025 7:50:55 AM PST by DIRTYSECRET

The mountain was named after McKinley in 1896. The McKinley name stuck until President Barack Obama’s administration changed it to Denali as a symbolic gesture to Alaska Natives on the eve of his Alaska visit to highlight climate change.

This is a much-ado-about-nothing subject. Obama changed it to play on the left's resentment. It's the stuff that works for them. You can't destroy the mountain like it's a confederate statue but you can change the name of military bases. Does all this require serious pushback by Trump?

With Obama's moves and the left's follow thru I say don't start any $hit and there won't be none.

Calling Murkey a Republican Senator doesn’t make her one.

We all know about naming things in Alaska.

Move along.....

Nor could Obama make us call it Mount Denali.

I care more about all the military bases Obama renamed than this particular mountain.

Why would Trump want to make anyone say something

Does all this require serious pushback by Trump?


Yes. Trump is doing this to expose the tactics of the left so that we may learn what went on and why. It is a history lesson. Who is Mckinly and what did he do.

I expect Trump to do a lot of renaming to point us to our heritage.

It is also a shiny thing to distract the left.

It is also fun to watch.

The battle is fought on big issues and many little issues.

How many of those statues can be replaced and surrounded with barbed wire fencing? There is a voting procedure to get rid of these things but the left doesn’t play that game.
Grove street in Berkeley, Ca was changed to MLK Blvd. once people got tired of being called racist for opposing it. Ft. Bragg, Ca didn’t get changed because lefties there are into the lazy themes of smoking dope.

Trump has them on the run. The more issues he pushes the more the left gets confused on which fights to pick.

I believe it’s just a nudge to the Left that symbolism works both ways.

It’s interesting the mountain was named after McKinley while he was running for president in 1896. He won the election that year but did not take office until 1897.

I think the people of Alaska will welcome the McKinley name back and be done with Obama’s malfeasance.

**The battle is fought on big issues and many little issues.**

Trump could disturb the excrement on many non-issues. It’s controlling the narrative even when he makes us looks bad.

Remember way back:
“Poor people don’t need gas-they don’t drive”
Ketchup is a vegetable.
Unemployment insurance is a paid vacation.

Safe-district republicans are free to show their wisdom now.

[[until President Barack Obama’s administration changed it to Denali as a symbolic gesture to Alaska Natives]]

And which “natives” would that be? Because there were 10 “native groups” that all called the mountain a different name! Obama slighted 9 native groups!
