Is it just national pride, or some further goal like bypassing anti-drilling laws/regs regarding the "Gulf of Mexico?"

I'm fine with it, but having the map with it in big bold letters next to the Resolute Desk for weeks (is it still there?) was unnecessary.

A) posturing for a strong resurgent US
B) possible legal considerations regarding legislation and drilling
C) Trump is doing classic Trump stuff with regard to trade and cartel related negotiations with Mexico

What was the goal of naming Mount McKinley to Denali or renaming military bases?

It was named Denali before it was "discovered" by an American

Possibly just to throw one more piece of evidence out to the American people that the media and neo-leftists hate America.

Irrelevant. Was it or was it not renamed by Obama?

It was an alpha move to show strength and power because we’ve been treated like bitches for 4 years.. personally don’t care but it pisses off the right people for me to smile, so that good enough.

The issue is the name is not “changed” for the rest of the world, just american media and companies. Do we honestly think the rest of the world will follow suit?
