The highest peak in the US, Mt. Denali was originally named Mt. McKinley in 1896. Former President Barack Obama used his executive powers to rename the mountain in 2015. Trump wants to change the name back to Mt. McKinley.

[@kathrynambler1658]

I will bet he wants to change the name back simply because Obama is somebody he really hates

[@kerbyfab]

As it should be! Changing it to Denali was so stupid.

[@paulsinclair8829]

@@kerbyfab McKinley had nothing what-so-ever to do with the mountain. He wasn't even President yet when it got the name. It was a political move. Pretty much *everyone* in Alaska has called the mountain "Denali" - one of the indigenous names for it - for decades before Obama made it official. The National Park was renamed Denali much earlier. I doubt Trump much cares what it is named either, but loves to post things that rile up his very gullible opposition.

[@mikearmstrong8483]

Commenting about something you know nothing about is so stupid.

[@BeakyFloof]

Wow. Denali is the original name given by the native Americans in that area before there even was an America. The State of Alaska petitioned Obama to give the mountain back its original name. Using the mountains original name is neither "stupid" or "political".

In the Dr. Pepper question, it was invented in Waco, TX, which has a rather unexpected pronunciation, I'll admit. It's WAY-co, rather than WACK-oh, which is a bit of a humorous term for crazy. Anaheim is also a strangely pronounced city--ANN-uh-hime. Denali is between Fairbanks and Anchorage. Key Biscayne and Key West are both in FL. Keystone is in CO.

[@davidterry6155]

Reagan and Nixon were born before Hawaii was a state Obama was born just after Hawaii became a state

[@TheAtkey]

Hawaii was a US territory at the time of Nixon and Reagan's birth so if they had been born there(Reagan was born in Tampico, Illinois and NIxon in Yorba Linda, California) they could still run for President. Barry Goldwater was born in Arizona before it was a state and John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone then a US territory. Of course both were parents of US citizens so even if they were born overseas they likely could run for President it's never been adjudicated what a "natural born citizen" exactly is.
