Trump's a fan of President William McKinley, giving the Canton, Ohio, native a major shout-out in his inaugural address.

The 47th president is wading back into a century-long dispute over the name we give to North America’s tallest mountain

Ahead of his inauguration on Monday, it was revealed that Trump would sign an order to rename Denali as Mount McKinley (and rename the Gulf of Mexico ). Why does renaming an Alaskan peak rise to the top of the list of Trump’s first-day priorities?

The tallest peak in North America has been named Denali since 2015 when its name was officially changed under former President Barack Obama.

The 47th president’s affinity for the 25th president is understandable, if not quite accurate.

The president-elect promises to rule with robber baron tactics and imperial belligerence—just like his role model, William McKinley.

The president made the name change through one of dozens of executive orders he signed on Monday. Former President Barack Obama’s administration ordered that the mountain be renamed as Denali in 2015.

During his inaugural address, President Donald Trump suggested he wants to revert the name of North America’s tallest mountain — Alaska’s Denali — to Mount McKinley. Here's why:

Trump loves McKinley, as he said in the inauguration speech, because McKinley “made our country very rich through tariffs” and Trump himself is enthusiastically pro-tariff. But this itself should give pause to anyone who thinks that tariffs are an innately “populist” tool of economic policy.

Democracy in America is not well, but what ails it? According to one diagnosis, the country is suffering from multiple strains of one-man rule — tyranny, fascism, authoritarianism. Variants of the virus originate in the people and their passions.

The Gulf of Mexico has carried that name for more than 400 years. The Associated Press will refer to it by its original name while acknowledging the new name Trump has chosen. As a global news agency that disseminates news around the world, the AP must ensure that place names and geography are easily recognizable to all audiences.
