Peak Precedence

With their characteristic focus on the vital issues facing their adopted country, the Trumpster and his head-tribble have pledged to re-name North America's tallest mountain after one of the USA's early imperialists. Despite being an anagram of denial, the peak's current name was officially ratified by a member of the nominal opposition and must therefore be erased from the page of history. William McKinley, the president after whom it was named by a sycophantic gold-digger in 1896, had the bad taste to fight in the Civil War rather than pleading bone spurs or cheering the racist insurgency from the sidelines; but he was a friend of Rutherford Hayes, who sneaked into the presidency despite losing the popular vote, and he pursued a colonial war of aggression against the Hispanic Untermenschen, which led to the usual triumphs of democracy in Cuba, the Philippines and the Republic of Hawaii. Perhaps even more usefully in terms of averting the head-tribble's wrath, McKinley was an enthusiast of tariffs; and when shot by a libertarian he also managed to make considerably more efficient use of the bullets than a mere bleeding earlobe.
