All he did was change the name back to what it had been since 1917. If you think that’s “damaging” to the country, then the problem is you. And since you’re a dyed in the wool conservative (supposedly), maybe ask yourself what Rush would think.Don't miss the forest for the trees here. Mount McKinley is pretty straightforward: it was originally named Mount Denali for centuries, then renamed to McKinley in 1917 after a president who had no connection to the mountain, nor had he ever seen it. For years, Native Americans (and us Alaskan residents) wanted it changed back to Denali, but it wasn't until a Republican senator,Lisa Murkowski, pushed for the change that it was officially renamed in 2015.
For 10 years, there was no major uproar or further discussion about it. Then, Trump took office and, despite Alaska being a red state that voted for him, decided out of nowhere to change it back to McKinley. The question is: why? No one on "team red" has answered that. It's pretty clear that it’s out of spite.
If you can’t see how a president acting out of spite from the Oval Office can be damaging, there’s really no point in me trying to explain further. And before you try to deflect with "liberal tears" nonsense, let me clarify: you're talking to a conservative who's never voted for a Democratic president.
Lastly, the people who live along the Gulf Coast seem highly receptive to the idea of “Gulf of America”. Applying your “McKinley” analysis, you should be all for it, right?
