President Donald Trump reversed a 2015 name change by former President Barack Obama, renaming Mount Denali back to Mount McKinley. This restoration honors the 25th U.S. president, William McKinley, a native of Canton, Ohio.

Obviously historical events happened in the past, and unless you live in a movie with access to a time machine, you can’t go back to change them.
