The Trump administration has officially implemented name changes for Alaska’s Mount Denali and the Gulf of Mexico, as requested by the new president.
The Interior Department announced Friday that the Gulf of Mexico will now officially be known as the Gulf of America and North America’s highest peak will once again bear the name Mount McKinley to “honor the legacy of American greatness.”
It’s because Obama is the one that did the renaming. It’s just petty revenge nonsense.
But the Republican Congress members of Alaska wanted it. They are against the change back from quotes I have seen.
Yep. But Trump doesn’t care about that, he just cares about removing a piece of Obama’s legacy.
You’re probably right about it just being petty, but…
President McKinley also annexed territory (Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, Philippines, Cuba, etc.), implemented insane tariffs, and pushed to keep the US on the gold standard.
Looks like Jackson isn’t the only president that Trump idolizes.
