Trump Renames two Landmarks

Trump Expected to Rename Two Iconic Landmarks in First Day in Office

Trump plans to sign executive orders renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Mount Denali on his first day in office. Incoming White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the news Monday.

The New York Post first reported the changes. The Gulf of Mexico will be renamed the Gulf of America, and Mount Denali will return to its original name, Mount McKinley. Both changes will be made official through executive action.

President Trump is bringing common sense to government and renewing the pillars of American Civilization," stated a preview of the order obtained by the Post.

The orders direct the Interior Secretary to update federal documents and maps with the new names. It's unclear if schools will also be required to adopt these changes.

Trump Vows to Change Name Back on America’s Tallest Mountain

The campaign is over, but you would never know that by listening to Donald Trump these days.

Trump is still poking Democrats, this time by suggesting he will restore Mount McKinley to its "original" name.

In 2015, in a nod to locals, then-President Barack Obama, pandering to Alaskan native Americans, changed the name of the mountain to Denali.

Since 1917, the largest mountain in the country, located in south-central Alaska, had been known as Mount McKinley. The mountain had been named after President William McKinley, who was assassinated during his second term. McKinley was shot by Leon Czolgosz on September 6, 1901. He passed away eight days later, with Teddy Roosevelt, one of our grestest presidents, taking over the presidency.

The Koyukon are the natives that inhabited the land in that area, referred to the mountain as Denali for hundreds of years. However, in 1896, a prospector referred to the mountain as Mount McKinley, with the name being formally changed in 1917.
