In reply to the discussion: Trump vows to rename Denali as Mount McKinley [View all]DFW
(56,897 posts)31. Is that for real? If so, it's perfect for Trump's level of comprehension.

It beats" McKinley" in any case. Trump would name the Supreme Court "The Nixon Buiilding" if he could spell "Nxon."

Denali is such a beautiful name. Why would anyone want to call it McKinley?
