Donald Trump promised that he would return the name of North Americas largest mountain to Mount McKinley, undoing President Obamas decision to call it Denali, The Hill reports.
Calling Obamas 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.
