The Trump administration has officially implemented name changes for Alaska’s Mount Denali and the Gulf of Mexico, as requested by the new president.
The Interior Department announced Friday that the Gulf of Mexico will now officially be known as the Gulf of America and North America’s highest peak will once again bear the name Mount McKinley to “honor the legacy of American greatness.”
It’s called Denali and if I hear anyone call it Mt. McKinley in my presence I’ll sock them.
You ain’t bad.
You’re pretty swell yourself.
Hahaha, maybe it’s a regional thing? “You ain’t bad” means something like, “I bet you won’t”.
It’s egging someone on to do what they said.
You do see swell though!
I think y’all are neat
Everyone here is so keen!
How does this lower the price of eggs? ™
Easy one: it doesn’t. But it makes his stupid, stupid, base feel better about their failings. Thank god he renamed something. I thought he wouldn’t get anything done! America first! Looks like the deep state is at it again, somehow or some way or not at all! Fuck my freedoms!
“Eggs” have now been renamed to “American Marbles”.

Look at those fragile liberals getting all woke about a stupid name. Ha ha. Eggs? What eggs?
I knew about the Gulf renaming, but not about switching McKinley again.
This is so stupid and pointless. Like Stalin or Kim Jong building statues and making wild statements about their country’s greatness while people starve or get thrown in camps.
It’s because Obama is the one that did the renaming. It’s just petty revenge nonsense.
But the Republican Congress members of Alaska wanted it. They are against the change back from quotes I have seen.
Yep. But Trump doesn’t care about that, he just cares about removing a piece of Obama’s legacy.
Should we start calling it the Gulf of Obama in protest then?
You’re probably right about it just being petty, but…
President McKinley also annexed territory (Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, Philippines, Cuba, etc.), implemented insane tariffs, and pushed to keep the US on the gold standard.
Looks like Jackson isn’t the only president that Trump idolizes.
Trump likely knows nothing at all about William McKinley.
Well, true. I wasn’t exactly implying that Trump was reading a history book and learned all about McKinley. More like he said, “we should be strong and take land that we want and undo everything Obama and Biden did and tax our enemies and have gold everything,” and someone replied, “oh, sounds like McKinley.” To which Trump replies, “Obama renamed a great president?”
He was also notably an insane outspoken racist.
Maybe Trump is bucking for the McKinley treatment himself
He can have the Bog of Eternal Stench.
It will always be Denali
Guess I’m not against deadnaming, after all.
That’s only a thing for people. Inanimate objects can’t be deadnamed.
Yes, I realize that. Mea culpa for trying to be a teensy bit funny.
That was your last warning
Its name is the Gulf of Mexico.
He could’ve called it the “Gulf of the Americas” (North, South, and Central), a nice, all encompassing and decent name, but no… he had to go full Stupid Nationalist Dictator.
The division is the point. The distraction is the point. Anything unifying is a hard pass.
Also, he’s a white supremacist & neo-Nazi. Don’t forget that part.
Nah, that’s stupid as fuck.
Wow, eggs are so cheap now!
Well time to write a script to rewrite all occurrences of [Mt. McKinley | Mount McKinley] to “Mount Denali” and same goes for the ole Gulf
Edit: my NAS should maybe be renamed Denali too, in fact.
I think it’s just “Denali,” not “Mount Denali”
The way the title is worded, I thought they’d renamed Denali to “Gulf of America”

Streisand effect is going to be strong with these two.
GM has a bunch of vehicle trim levels to rename then too
I guess they looked at “Freedom fries” and thought it was brilliant.
