President-elect Donald Trump has once again suggested he wants to revert the name of North America’s tallest mountain — Alaska's Denali — to Mount McKinley, wading into a sensitive and decades-old conflict about what the peak should be called.
Former President Barack Obama changed the official name to Denali in 2015 to reflect the traditions of Alaska Natives as well as the preference of many Alaska residents. The federal government in recent years has endeavored to change place-names considered disrespectful to Native people.
“Denali” is an Athabascan word meaning “the high one" or “the great one.” A prospector in 1896 dubbed the peak “Mount McKinley” after President William McKinley, who had never been to Alaska. That name was formally recognized by the U.S. government until Obama changed it over opposition from lawmakers in McKinley's home state of Ohio.
Trump suggested in 2016 that he might undo Obama's action, but he dropped that notion after Alaska's senators objected. He raised it again during a rally in Phoenix on Sunday.
“McKinley was a very good, maybe a great president,” Trump said Sunday. “They took his name off Mount McKinley, right? That’s what they do to people.”
Once again, Trump's suggestion drew quick opposition within Alaska.
“Uh. Nope. It’s Denali,” Democratic state Sen. Scott Kawasaki posted on the social platform X Sunday night.
Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski , who for years pushed for legislation to change the name to Denali, conveyed a similar sentiment in a post of her own.
“There is only one name worthy of North America’s tallest mountain: Denali — the Great One,” Murkowski wrote on X.
Various tribes of Athabascan people have lived in the shadow of the 20,310-foot (6,190-meter) mountain for thousands of years.
McKinley, a Republican native of Ohio who served as the 25th president, was assassinated early in his second term in 1901 in Buffalo, New York.
Alaska and Ohio have been at odds over the name since at least the 1970s. Alaska had a standing request to change the name since 1975, when the legislature passed a resolution and then-Gov. Jay Hammond appealed to the federal government.
Known for its majestic views, the mountain is dotted with glaciers and covered at the top with snow year-round, with powerful winds that make it difficult for the adventurous few who seek to climb it.
Trump’s Xmas Thread Gloats Over Enemies, Threatens Countries
Ursula Faw 3-3 minutes 12/25/2024
Donald Trump can’t lose graciously nor can he win graciously. If he loses, then it was a cheat. If he wins, then he’s got to go out of his way to rub his enemies’ noses in their loss and gloat. This is how Trump is ending 2024 and beginning 2025, like the 8-year-old that he is. It’s all about him and how indominatable he is. What he doesn’t get at all, and maybe his psychologist niece could explain it to him, is that all he’s doing with this display is showing the world his utter lack of character and maturity. Not that he would listen to Mary Trump. In fact, Eric calls her “disturbed” and that’s how they deal with the fact that she’s the one Trump who tells the truth.
Trump will never let this story die. It’s just too delicious to him, how he socked it to the mainstream media. And in all truth, this was a catastrophically bad decision on the part of ABC/Disney and one that they will be trying to live down for a very long time. It’s a capitulation by journalism as a whole for this to take place. This was an easily winnable case for ABC. The facts were on their side and the law was on their side. But they folded like a lawn chair because they didn’t want to upset the emperor.
This is what Trump chooses to post on Xmas Day. He could be posting pictures of kitties and puppies and other images of joy but no, he’s got to let his enemies know that he’s the big man with the big balls. And then of course he takes pleasure in the fact that he’s got the MSM cosigning on his idiocy and thereby making it seem rational.
This is nonsensical *journalism.” Just read the lede sentences. “Trump threatened to demand control of the key commerce node.” What does that mean? Trump can threaten to demand control of Buckingham Palace and that’s as far as it’s going to get. He won’t obtain control.
But Trump’s goal has been achieved. Now he’s got the country and the world buzzing, “Will he take over the Panama Canal? Will he take over Greenland?” That was the purpose of the idiotic comments, to get everybody talking about them as if they were an impending reality.
And this is how he spent his Xmas morning. Either Trump or somebody in charge of his account, decided to forget the theme of peace on earth and good will towards men and substitute the idea Trump Uber Alles.
Well, there is that old free speech thingy. And as he is the de facto president right now we should be paying attention to everything he says because a new sheriff is now in town and this country is going to go in the right direction, that of sanity and common sense.
Thanks for digging this story up. Since I don't do follow Truth Social, I would not have known about it otherwise.
I dont think there has ever been a more embarrassing public leader in american history. And these poor deluded souls think Trump is going to be well regarded by historians.
He’s insane. He’s incapable of just being a gracious person on holidays. When the occasion calls for just being a decent person, he will inevitably opt for being a mean-spirited asshole, instead.
Or...they can just ignore him. I love seeing lefties going bat sit crazy over his every utterance.
The libs have no one to blame but themselves that he is once again president, with a Congress that can get a lot done for the betterment of ALL the people.
The problem, Greg, is that this asshole is the president-elect. This asshole is the voice and face of our nation. This irresponsible loose-cannon has been given more power than any other single individual on the planet.
A couple days ago Trump announced his intention to have Mt Denali in Alaska renamed for William McKinley , who was president at the turn of the twentieth century. Presumably he wants to spit in the faces of the indigenous like this because McKinley was a tariff guy.
None of this matters ... nothing to see here ... all just hysteria dreamed up in the minds of ' the left ' ... Trump will be the greatest PotUS of our generation.
That’s absurd. Do you ignore the president? Clearly not.
I love seeing lefties going bat sit crazy over his every utterance.
Not his “every utterance” - but specifically, the holiday tweets that are normally an occasion where a president wishes everyone well, but this particular president always and uniquely takes the opportunity to take a shot at roughly half the country who didn’t vote for him. You wouldn’t have an argument here if you didn’t exaggerate the truth and ignore context.
for the betterment of ALL the people
As usual, Trump makes it clear with these tweets that he is not interested in being a president to “ALL of the people.”
As usual, Trump makes it clear with these tweets that he is not interested in being a president to “ALL of the people.”
Nope, just the ones that kept enough excuses going to buy him the time he needed to get the Supremes to show who they are, and that is disturbing. The mentality for this walking, breathing, exercise in juvenile insecurities that is just full of impurities, that do jeopardize our actual securities, is just so beyond reason.
He will embarrass this country till he passes. And for those like Greg, who have been drinking the un-cool aiding and abetting an enemy of the state, it is even more so. The GOP= Get Out Pronto, have completely, in my opinion, thrown our rules of proper behavior and etiquette, right out the window, in their hands, wrung, like a bell curved pumpkin, carved from granite, like their thick skulls.
I know, right? We heard this about Mike Johnson as Speaker, and now we hear it about Trump. I figure some conservatives have a conscience they can still hear, but rather than take responsibility for the terrible person they voted for, it’s the other side’s fault for not fighting harder or something. This is like blaming the beaten wife for not dodging better.
They, and by proxy it seems, you, were okay with your "side" chasing down bullshit for the last 9 years to "aim at people, one in particular, they didn't like. And for you to state something like you did, is dripping with irony. And lest ye forget, history shows that Biden doesn't do much on his own. Just depends on what string they pull
Wrong again. I guess turnabout is fair play was never big on your lessons for life. Think about the last 9 years again and tell me Dems didn't chase their hated rabbit for that length and, as it turns out, more time.
The attempts to compare Trump's wrongdoing and irrational acts with any other PotUS or candidate is futile (and pathetic). Trump is in a league of his own; there is no way to normalize his behavior by comparing him with any other PotUS.
Trump is in a league of his own; there is no way to normalize his behavior by comparing him with any other PotUS.
You're finally possibly getting it...............and you won't change him, or his supporters so, sit back and enjoy the ride. The rest of us will. It is THAT that got him elected.
Given I was advising you, it would be you (possibly) who might be getting it.
Of course there is no changing Trump. The solution was to not vote him in, but you and your fellow Trump supporters put this scoundrel in office. Now the nation is stuck with this embarrassing loose-cannon as the face and voice of our nation.
Problem with that was not enough people saw it as a problem that needed a solution. I have to admit that the left often has solutions where there is no problem and and the solution is often throwing money at a supposed problem. I guess a couple billion dollars and endless screaming from the rooftops was not enough to solve this problem that never existed.
You have a poor attempt at equating the action of those who don't worship Trump with the action of Trump and his cult members, which is a stretch in the extreme, and does not amount to a point. I understand you'd like to believe otherwise, but reality is a thing. Your guy is trash.
Another cookie-cutter quip. When all else fails use the boilerplate: "... but you never criticize my opposition ...".
Make a thoughtful comment instead of thoughtless platitudes.
Trump is the only president-elect / PotUS in our history who instead of wishing good for all Americans uses this time to attack his opponents. Can you imagine any other PotUS in our lifetimes who instead of wishing a Merry Christmas or Happy Thanksgiving or ... would instead go on a partisan, childish rant?
How can you possibly want a childish, vindictive, loose-cannon asshole like Trump to be the voice and face for our nation?
How can you possibly want a childish, vindictive, loose-cannon asshole like Trump to be the voice and face for our nation?
Possibly due to the fact that I agree with millions of others of my fellow citizens. The country was/is headed in the wrong direction and many see Trump as the alternative................just like 2016. Dems never learn. They can't see the errors of their ways
So, stating what Trump and supporters have actually done us the same as saying, while specifically excluding most Republicans, is equivalent to calling one's opponents "radical" and "lunatics" in a comment made on a day that is supposed to have religious meaning (yeah, right) to him and most of his followers?
One comment, from which husband VP immediately distanced herself (you know, not cheering it on, as has been done above), as opposed to continuous insults against his opponents, heads of state of our allies, and entirely over-the-top self aggrandizement.
Possibly due to the fact that I agree with millions of others of my fellow citizens.
It is sickening that some view Trump as the person to lead our nation in the 'right' way.
Not only is he the only sitting PotUS to attempt to steal a presidential election with fraud, coercion, lying, and incitement. He is a vindictive, loose-cannon who does not care one shit about the American people and will use the presidency to satisfy his whims rather than take it as a solemn duty like PotUS' before him.
Just sickening that anyone would support this asshole.
Guess you haven't paid attention since July. They even pulled him out of the race FFS. His decreased cognizance (or total lack thereof) should prove that enough. And do you think HE decided to sign those 50+ bills into law on Christmas Eve? Or was he reminded (aka pushed)?
The country was/is headed in the wrong direction and many see Trump as the alternative................Just like 2016
It is almost like people forgot trump was president for 4 years and are comparing his 4 years to bidens/harris 4 years and coming to a rational conclusion (for them) that they liked the direction of the country during the trump years more
And that opinion obviously didn't change who they thought would bring the country in a better direction.
Trump's assholery was enough to get biden elected. After the 4 year dumpster fire biden gave us even the assholery and some opinions he is a traitor was not enough to stop Donald
Trump wishes 'Merry Christmas' to 'left lunatics' in frenzy of social posts
Actually, he wished merry Christmas to radical left lunatics, which i thought was pretty damn nice of him.
Probably more than they wished him
A very Merry Christmas to all members of Newstalkers.

So he ridiculously and constantly brags about himself and talks like a lunatic because he is being a free speech advocate ?
probably not, the mainstream media has his back.

Tell us all, where did the bad orange man hurt you?
Tell us why the orange man can't simply say "Merry Christmas" and be done with it? He's like a retarded 12 year old kid.

So, you're OK with your elected officials behaving like particularly malicious and childish buffoons, so long as they aim it at people you don't like?
Not sure I'd announce that, but you do you.
Oh, the irony...............
How so, Jim?
Has Biden been using Twitter to insult a bunch of people who didn't vote for him, with Dems cheering him on?
No.
They, and by proxy it seems, you, were okay with your "side" chasing down bullshit for the last 9 years to "aim at people, one in particular, they didn't like. And for you to state something like you did, is dripping with irony. And lest ye forget, history shows that Biden doesn't do much on his own. Just depends on what string they pull
So, no, nobody is behaving as badly as Trump, but you have to try to spin things as if they are.
Noted.
Wrong again. I guess turnabout is fair play was never big on your lessons for life. Think about the last 9 years again and tell me Dems didn't chase their hated rabbit for that length and, as it turns out, more time.
Historical events aside..........noted.
no, nobody is behaving as badly as Trump
is he refusing to meet and acknowledge his grandchild too?
The attempts to compare Trump's wrongdoing and irrational acts with any other PotUS or candidate is futile (and pathetic). Trump is in a league of his own; there is no way to normalize his behavior by comparing him with any other PotUS.
You're finally possibly getting it...............and you won't change him, or his supporters so, sit back and enjoy the ride. The rest of us will. It is THAT that got him elected.
No big deal. Unless it is trump doing it
Given I was advising you, it would be you (possibly) who might be getting it.
Of course there is no changing Trump. The solution was to not vote him in, but you and your fellow Trump supporters put this scoundrel in office. Now the nation is stuck with this embarrassing loose-cannon as the face and voice of our nation.
Well done!
Just in case you haven't noticed, your "advising" falls waaaaayy short of convincing or helping anyone. Kudos to you for hanging in there and trying.
Problem with that was not enough people saw it as a problem that needed a solution. I have to admit that the left often has solutions where there is no problem and and the solution is often throwing money at a supposed problem. I guess a couple billion dollars and endless screaming from the rooftops was not enough to solve this problem that never existed.
When Joe Biden goes on a Christmas Day rant against his political opponents and I defend it, you'll have a point. As of now, you don't.
Has he tweeted abuse against her mother, with Democrats cheering him on?
Nope.
Keep stretching.
Oh, but I think you know I have a point. Speaking of stretching................
You have a poor attempt at equating the action of those who don't worship Trump with the action of Trump and his cult members, which is a stretch in the extreme, and does not amount to a point. I understand you'd like to believe otherwise, but reality is a thing. Your guy is trash.
I doubt anyone attempts to convince a Trump supporter of anything. Most of us just challenge the outrageous claims and bullshit they post.
Biden has gone on plenty of rants against trump and trump supporters. I don’t recall ever seeing you post that he was wrong to do so.
Opinions will vary...........and usually counterproductively. We see it every day here in NT city
What a weak comment.
Then you won't have trouble producing one.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
You are not entitled to your own facts.
The fact is that Trump's behavior is intended to insult those who don't support his bloviating. But you go ahead and defend him.
Another cookie-cutter quip. When all else fails use the boilerplate: "... but you never criticize my opposition ...".
Make a thoughtful comment instead of thoughtless platitudes.
Trump is the only president-elect / PotUS in our history who instead of wishing good for all Americans uses this time to attack his opponents. Can you imagine any other PotUS in our lifetimes who instead of wishing a Merry Christmas or Happy Thanksgiving or ... would instead go on a partisan, childish rant?
How can you possibly want a childish, vindictive, loose-cannon asshole like Trump to be the voice and face for our nation?
“Make a thoughtful comment instead of thoughtless platitudes.”
More opinions.
And again with a boilerplate quip in lieu of a thoughtful comment.
Here ya go
You seem to ride that horse quite well. Again, opinions will vary. And that is all this is. OPINION
Possibly due to the fact that I agree with millions of others of my fellow citizens. The country was/is headed in the wrong direction and many see Trump as the alternative................just like 2016. Dems never learn. They can't see the errors of their ways
So, stating what Trump and supporters have actually done us the same as saying, while specifically excluding most Republicans, is equivalent to calling one's opponents "radical" and "lunatics" in a comment made on a day that is supposed to have religious meaning (yeah, right) to him and most of his followers?
Try again.
One comment, from which husband VP immediately distanced herself (you know, not cheering it on, as has been done above), as opposed to continuous insults against his opponents, heads of state of our allies, and entirely over-the-top self aggrandizement.
Yeah, totally the same.
No, he's always seemed to prefer msm. I'm not even sure Biden knows how to use X...
Facts.
Trump and his supporters tried to subverting an election and prevent the peaceful transfer of power.
You're equating Biden's recitation of facts with Trump's spewing of insults.
Which is pretty pathetic.
So, no. His behavior has been nowhere near as atrocious as Trump's. Glad you acknowledged that fact.
You did say “Then you won't have trouble producing one.”
Only because his handlers tell him what to say or to just shut up.
It is sickening that some view Trump as the person to lead our nation in the 'right' way.
Not only is he the only sitting PotUS to attempt to steal a presidential election with fraud, coercion, lying, and incitement. He is a vindictive, loose-cannon who does not care one shit about the American people and will use the presidency to satisfy his whims rather than take it as a solemn duty like PotUS' before him.
Just sickening that anyone would support this asshole.
Nah, that's not what I said but whatever
One comment isn't a rant.
Sure they do.
You know this, how?
Guess you haven't paid attention since July. They even pulled him out of the race FFS. His decreased cognizance (or total lack thereof) should prove that enough. And do you think HE decided to sign those 50+ bills into law on Christmas Eve? Or was he reminded (aka pushed)?
It is almost like people forgot trump was president for 4 years and are comparing his 4 years to bidens/harris 4 years and coming to a rational conclusion (for them) that they liked the direction of the country during the trump years more
In 2016 Trump wasnt a traitor yet.
And that opinion obviously didn't change who they thought would bring the country in a better direction.
Trump's assholery was enough to get biden elected. After the 4 year dumpster fire biden gave us even the assholery and some opinions he is a traitor was not enough to stop Donald
They pulled him out of the race?
He left the race.
He may have been convinced by party leadership, but he was also the leader by a huge margin. He'd have been within his rights to stay.
I think you're making assumptions about his actions without actual knowledge of them.
I see what you mean...
There is no honor in voting for a traitor.
No honor in voting for anyone you think is a traitor. Oh brother.
Agreed, that’s why i didn’t vote for biden, or cackles.
That is what I call someone who tried to steal a presidential election. You can call him lord and master if you want.
I sincerely doubt anyone that voted for him care if you think they have no honor or he is a traitor in your opinion
As always, Trump looks and sounds like a 5 year old just before he gets a time out.
A great representative of the US…/s
BTW both Republican Senators from Alaska told him to leave the the name alone, Denali represents the state of Alaska.
Why is the vp wishing people merry Christmas? Shouldn't Elon be posting a holiday message as president elect?
