Not sure why Trump or Ohio should have any say whatsoever in what to name a mountain in Alaska.
- I suspect he is just stirring undirected conservative angst up, preparing his next meal perhaps?

@GiddyGap Once again, he’s really on the case with those grocery prices.
- @MessagingMatters@mstdn.social This is exactly the kind of messaging we should use to reinforce this!

Mt. Luigi has nice ring to it.
- Mountain Mt Mountain Face

Don’t fall for the distractions, focus on the destructive and fascist things he wants to do.

Trump always asks himself "what is the most racist thing I can get away with?" And then runs toward that

He says they are taking it away from McKinley and that he was a great presideny. But I severely doubt the bafoon could even name the most memorable thing the guy did. Which was dying horribly from bungled medical care following an assassination attempt.
- Idk I think the most memorable thing he did was bring a cow up to his college bell tower as a prank
  Cows can't walk down stairs so they had to butcher it in the tower
  He was expelled for it
- Maybe he got the idea of going hard on tariffs from trying to find a president he could relate to. Sadly, if he goes out the same way, we won't get a Teddy Roosevelt out of Vance.

Murkowski openly advocated for the Obama administration to rename Mt. McKinely as Denali...this feels like a really good way to piss off one of the most important votes in his party (for absolutely no reason).
When Iwas there in the 90's the locals called it Denali, not McKinley.

He's so fragile that slights against the legacy of other (select) presidents shatter his ego.
Just kidding. He's got a terrifyingly life-threatening, economy-ruining, complex that will kill us all with the shards.

He probably also is trying to figure out how to slap his name on it.
- Or Mt Rushmore
  
  Plenty of historical examples of rulers having previous rulers' statues recarved with their own images.

McKinley never even went to Alaska, let alone Denali.
- Lol who?

Mount Tayne

He’s such a baby.
