Trump on the great issue of the day: Obama renaming Mt McKinley "A Great insult to Ohio" [View all]

Donald Trump promised that he “would return the name of North America’s largest mountain to Mount McKinley, undoing President Obama’s decision to call it Denali,” The Hill reports.

“Calling Obama’s act a ‘great insult to Ohio,’ Trump, who is running for president next year, tweeted late Monday that Obama reversed the name the peak had for more than 100 years, in honor of President William McKinley, an Ohio native.”
