When referring to President Obama. Close. But not quite

"they (rappers and such) can say it. why can't we?"

my answer : go ahead. say it. it tells us who you are.

Start rapping...

And yes maybe slip thru some tax cuts for the rich and infamous.

but it will always be Denali to me. And I hope that the people of Alaska will continue to call it Denali, too.

Just ignore the manchild's tantrums and go on as usual.

Trumps supporters political party is now led by an African American.

it won't be long before he talks about renaming points of interest in other countries, and then other countries. He'll rename Greenland, he'll rename Stonehenge, he'll rename Jerusalem...

He’d probably want to plaster his name on anything his eyes could see.

i expected everything to be "trumped" after biden beat him.

though I think he was still alive, technically anyhow, when they renamed DCA after him. I knew air traffic controllers who refused to call that airport Reagan National, for obvious reasons. I don't think there's a requirement that a person be dead to get something named after him, but if that's what it takes...

certainly money, stamps, and ships are named "in memorium." only

speaking of money. i guess the harriet tubman $20 is dead and women will stop being on quarters.

will not call that airport by that man’s name. I still refer to it as DCA or National. For the same reasons air traffic controllers won’t.

🤢

...carved onto Mt. Rushmore.

More like a garbage dump.

Even as it is, it's an insult to the Lakota people. And would Trump even want to share a mountain with other presidents? He'd want a bigger one all to himself. Maybe Denali, since he's going to try to rename it anyhow, but he'd probably want one closer to home that his adoring cult members could worship all the time. Devil's Tower, maybe?

Is the Crazy Horse Memorial bigger than Mount Rushmore?

When completed the Crazy Horse carving will be 641ft long and 563ft tall. Mt Rushmore is 203ft long and the heads are 18.3m 60ft high. The left side of the face, black rock to nose, is where all four presidents of Mt Rushmore would fit.

His worshipers can plant button mushrooms on top.

because it's too woke to respect the naming traditions of the people who bestowed those names in the first place? There was a big kerfuffle here in Minneapolis a few years ago at the renaming of Lake Calhoun, named before the Civil War after John C. Calhoun, an ardent supporter of slavery, the removal of Natives from their lands and states' rights. That's not why the lake was named after him - it had to do with his authorization of the construction of Fort Snelling, and naming the lake was how the surveyors of the area at that time honored him - but his support for slavery and Native removal gave his name a bad odor and there was a lot of pressure to give it its original Dakota name back. After extensive litigation (and a lot of whining by the rich folks on the west side of the lake) over who had the authority to rename it back to Bde Maka Ska, it finally happened in 2020. If it were the subject of federal jurisdiction Trump would probably insist on giving it back to that dead racist fuck Calhoun.

He has a lot of work ahead of him if this is his goal.

I think Trump wants to re-re-name Denali at least in part because Obama changed the name in the first place.

Yes in some areas of the country, the county, towns, townships are all NA names.

Everything: his intellect, his policies, his attire, the Nobel Peace Prize, his family, his birth certificate.That is just a sampling, sure there are more!

I would have thought once the dotard won the election, his jonesing for Obama would have died off. Guess I was wrong!

Going to be a Long 4 Years

Trump is such a racist f**k

Anything he says is 99% BS.

Die, after he was shot.

It was ridiculous to name it after him in the first place.

has nobody in what? 40 plus years of the internet in regular use not learned?

Pretty soon we will be like fox, perpetually outraged.

I remember the orange anus complaining about Paul McCartneys divorce settlement from over ten years ago.
He complained that Paul’s soon to be ex was about to receive over 80 million pounds. Then trump said, “I don’t remember her being on stage on the Ed Sullivan show”.
So i thought Paul was making a big to do about it in the press. Why else would a celebrity like trump bring it up.
It turned out that the settlement was reported in the press, and Paul was Crickets about it.
Like I said, trump cares about things, that no one else cares about.

Red state Alaska didn't like the idea, so he gave up.

From 2015

Donald Trump: I'll Change Denali Back to Mount McKinley
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trump-change-denali-back-mount-mckinley/story?id=33452776



From 2016
https://alaskapublic.org/news/2016-11-16/will-president-trump-follow-through-on-changing-denalis-name-back-to-mt-mckinley


After the 2016 presidential election, President Trump and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke reportedly asked Alaskan senators Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski if they wanted Trump to reverse the name change. The two senators told Trump that they did not want this to happen, and Trump agreed not to reverse the name change.[38][39]

It'll never be anything other than Denali, to me.

A fitting name for the highest peak in North America.

As much as Trump loves using the word “great”, it seems he’d be cool with a name describing the mountain as great. But no……

I agree with other posters in that this is Trump being petty and wanting to erase something positive from the Obama administration.

years ago when one of his first moves was to prominently display a portrait of Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office.

That was the name for it when it was part of Russia.

Maybe one day again?

That is just Russian for "The Big Mountain." A literal translation of "Denali" in the Koyukon Athabascan language.

It beats" McKinley" in any case. Trump would name the Supreme Court "The Nixon Buiilding" if he could spell "Nxon."

back to where his ancestors came from.

Although I don't know how they could send him back to Hades.

Or maybe Styxitmaster

Our new puppy keeps taking a Trump on the living room floor.

MAGAS would love that.

He's a jerk just to be a jerk. Like some teenagers I've known, but they at least have lack of experience as an excuse.

is so stupid, he’ll probably tell the Native Americans to go back to where they came from and have his gestopo head, Homan initiate deportation orders for them!

However, a request in 1975 from the Alaska state legislature to the United States Board on Geographic Names to do the same at the federal level was blocked by Ohio congressman Ralph Regula, whose district included McKinley's home town of Canton.

So Alaska renamed 50 years ago and requested the Federal Government to officially rename it then as well but some jerk of a Republican Congressman didn't want to change it. When Obama finally renamed it in 2015 the renaming of the mountain received praise from Alaska's senior U.S. senator, Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), who had previously introduced legislation to accomplish the name change. I thought Republicans professed to be all about states rights so why does Trump want to overrule the wishes of the state (A pretty hardcore Republican state, in fact)?

when it's Democrats trying to do something national. IOKIYAR.

Just a thought

He had a bad week playing president and now it’s time for distractions. When he’s done with this idiocy and the Panama idiocy, the next idiocy will be all set to go.

What he guaranteed, and is not going to be able to do, is to lower the price of eggs or bring back jobs that his meth head supporters want.

of William McKinley (who was not a "great" President) or Denali.

Said the orange man.

I can't think of anything McKinely did that made him memorable.

- Construction of the Panama Canal (initiated)
- National Parks Creation including Yosemite National Park, Mount Rainier National Park & Crater Lake National Park
- Spanish-American War
- Annexation of Hawaii
- Open Door Policy in China

along with a couple things that probably endear him to MAGAs
- McKinley Tariff Act of 1890 (enacted when he was in Congress before he became President) though to be fair, the economy was very good during his Presidency
- Gold Standard Act

It was changed to an unpronounceable name, Utqiagvik, in 2016.

You couldn't pronounce it. TOS

He’s worse than a neglected toddler. Ignoring him bothers him more than arguing with him.

like he’s always blithering about.

Alaskans want it to be Denali, and Denali it should remain.

Won't be long before the puffy shirt.

decreed that native names should be favored. Hardly anything new.

(Which didn't stop them from using a non-native name for the world's tallest mountain.)

Ask anyone who lives there.

If Alaskans want "Denali," they should have it.


I don't have any problem calling the mountain that name.

What's next? Renaming Mt. Whitney to Mt. Garfield?

No one ever called it Mt. McKinley. We all called it Denali. That was in the 80s and 90s.

Then the High Maintenance Mussolini can name the pile of bullshit he’s dumped on us Mount Trump.

You know it’s coming, right?

Alaskans had been calling it that for decades.

It will take an act of congress to get the name changed; Trump can't do it by fiat.

He probably couldn't point it out on a map. Hell, other than the battleground states, New York, Florida, Texas and California, he can't point to and name any of the states.

If he could rename things at will, he would. Our country would become "Trump States."

Since that was where President McKinley was from.

this will reduce the price of eggs tout suite.

Inconsequential shiny objects to give the fake patriot crowd a new purpose in their otherwise rudderless daily lifestyles?

Sounds about right....

The Native Peoples already named it. And he can’t change that. End of story.

God that election was way dirty and now a monster, his crew of crooks, international terrorists,
and hard core racists are coming to power.

America is truly fucked.

and rename Obamacare to Trumpcare.

It was renamed in 1975. Obama just formalized that change.

Distraction tactic. Don't fall for it folks.

Stephen Miller is still out there scurrying around.

If so, it's a dangerous power. The president could be renaming everything across the country to suit him and his party.

we'd be damned lucky.

I was going to rec anyone who said it, but no one did, so I said it. That stupid disrespectful fucker

But they said Biden was the one who was senile.

And if so, what else can he rename?
