Trump on the great issue of the day: Obama renaming Mt McKinley "A Great insult to Ohio"

[WI_DEM]

Donald Trump promised that he “would return the name of North America’s largest mountain to Mount McKinley, undoing President Obama’s decision to call it Denali,” The Hill reports.

“Calling Obama’s act a ‘great insult to Ohio,’ Trump, who is running for president next year, tweeted late Monday that Obama reversed the name the peak had for more than 100 years, in honor of President William McKinley, an Ohio native.”

1. And before that, for more than 1000 years the mountain was called Denali.

It seems to me that conservatives are all about conserving the past when it suits them and all about changing existing structures when it suits them.

8. Like the Constitution

2. I guess he doesn't know

that naming it Mount McKinley in the first place was a blatant insult to the
native Alaskans who had always call it Denali??

3. To really honor

McKinley, it should have been named "Mount of the Robber Barons Enabler".

4. I'm going to take a wild guess that no one in Ohio gives

a shit what a mountain peak in Alaska is called.

5. For my part, no.. I don't care. But I'm sure there are plenty

of Teabillies here who will take offense to it. Even if, prior to this week, they had no idea where Mt. McKinley was in the first place.

6. Teabillies are in a perpetual state of rage though.

9. I don't give a damn about it

Ohioans for the most part don't even know or care about it.

7. Gov of Ohio says ...

Obama is rewriting American history.

10. Ohio Governor is an asshole

He just wants to be seen in the media because Trump's stealing his thunder.

[Johonny]

11. Remember the "state rights" party wants Ohio to dictate what Alaska names a mountain

because... what do conservatives stand for again?

[NYC Liberal]

12. Ohio is free to re-name one of its own mountains -- whatever mountains it has.

Maybe a hill.

13. They did, for a short time today

Wiki pranksters are having fun with the edits (look at the map)

14. Quick, Donald! Where in Ohio was McKinley born?

That's what I thought.
