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. The White House announced the Denali moniker Sunday, restoring the name that Alaska Natives had called it for thousands of years before a gold prospector named it after McKinley in the late 19th century, when he was a presidential candidate.

Donald Trump, of course, has a position on the one issue that has overshadowed President Obama's trip to the the Glacier Summit in Anchorage to talk global warming. And that position is, of course, in direct opposition to Obama. What's that critical issue? Renaming a mountain Of course Trump comes down on the side of imperialism. What else could you expect? The white people went into Alaska and started claiming and renaming shit and that's the history that matters, not the previous thousands of years. Not the fact that this mountain has been a sacred place for the Alaska Natives, something that the state of Alaska itself recognized decades ago when it restored the real name of the mountain.

Not that any of that even occurred to Trump—or any of the Republicans who are so outraged. Because of course it didn't.
