President-elect Donald Trump pulled no punches against the leftist ideologues that sought to change the name of Mount McKinley to Denali and spreading anti-science propaganda that there are more than two genders.
“Woke has to stop, because along with everything else, it’s destroying our country,” Trump told Turning Point Action’s America Fest speech in Phoenix, Arizona, on Sunday in a speech that aired on Newsmax and the free Newsmax2 streaming platform. “We’re going to stop woke.
“Woke is bulls***,” Trump added to the loudest cheers of the day.
Trump denounced Democrat and leftist activist efforts to rename American historical locales.
“As commander in chief, I will restore the proud and historic names of our great military bases like Fort Bragg,” Trump continued. “We’re going to get them back.
“As an example, in addition to the military bases, I understand they want to now rename 14 ships. We want to rename them. Some of these ships have had a great and glorious past. They want to take the name off and put another name down. I can imagine whose name they’re going to put up. Not going to happen with me.
“It’s not happening with me, I can promise you that.”
Trump vowed to not only end the “transgender lunacy” but he is going to make it U.S. government policy “there are only two genders: male and female.”
“With the stroke of my pen on day one, we are going to stop the transgender lunacy,” he said. “And I will sign executive orders to end child sexual mutilation, get transgender out of the military, and out of our elementary schools and middle schools and high schools — and we will keep men out of women’s sports.
“Under the Trump administration, it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female. It doesn’t sound too complicated, does it?”
And even Mount McKinley is coming back, Trump concluded.
Trump said he will rename Denali after William McKinley, the 25th U.S. president who was assassinated in 1901.
Democrat President Barack Obama in 2015 officially renamed the mountain Denali. The peak had been officially called Mount McKinley since 1917.
“They took his name off Mount McKinley,” Trump said in a speech to supporters in Phoenix. “He was a great president, a Republican,” Trump said, adding his administration will “bring back the name of Mount McKinley because I think he deserves it.”
The mountain, which has an elevation of more than 20,000 feet (6,100 meters), was named Mount McKinley in 1896 after a gold prospector exploring the region heard that McKinley, a champion of the gold standard, had won the Republican nomination for president.
The U.S. Department of the Interior, in the 2015 order that was signed by Obama changing the name to Denali, noted that McKinley had never visited the mountain and had no “significant historical connection to the mountain or to Alaska.”

Trump vowed to crackdown on woke culture, referencing the renaming of US military bases that previously honored Confederate leaders
THE ECONOMIC TIMES | Published December 23, 2024
US President-elect Donald Trump, during his fiery speech at the AmericaFest In Phoenix, Arizona, on Sunday slammed the “woke culture”, calling it “bullshit”. He blamed the woke culture for undermining America’s strength. The 78-year-old’s comments sparked widespread reactions on social media including an endorsement from Elon Musk, who tweeted “YES!” alongside a viral clip of Trump’s remarks.
“Woke has to stop. It’s destroying our country. Woke is bulls**,” Trump declared, referencing the renaming of US military bases that previously honored Confederate leaders. He pledged to reverse such changes, including restoring the original name of Fort Bragg in North Carolina, now called Fort Liberty.
That line received the biggest applause of the morning from the conservative audience, most of whom were wearing Make America Great Again hats and other Trump-branded gear.
What is woke?
In the West, the term “woke” has become a lightning rod on both the left and the right – a symbol of a modern culture war. It first emerged in the US in the 1940s from the word “awake” and was used to describe someone who is well-informed on issues of social injustice – particularly racism, according to a report in Al-Jazeera.
In its original use, it meant being alert to the specific discrimination and systemic harm suffered by African Americans. More recently, it has been adopted as a ubiquitous watchword for a wide variety of social movements, including LGBTQ issues, feminism, immigration, climate change and marginalised communities.
Trump declares open war on ‘Transgender Lunacy’
Trump also vowed to end critical race theory and “transgender insanity” in schools, promising a hardline approach to culture war issues as part of his post-inauguration agenda. “I will sign executive orders to end child sexual mutilation, get transgender out of the military and out of our elementary schools and middle schools and high schools,” the president-elect said at an event for young conservatives in Phoenix, Arizona.
