William McKinley, the 25th president, loved tariffs and expanded American territory. What more do you need to know?

Churchill once implied that history would be kind to him because “I propose to write that history myself.” As we know from his paroxysms on Truth Social, Donald Trump is barely capable of writing a single coherent sentence.

Trump reiterated his claim that China is “operating” the Panama Canal and said that the critical waterway had been “foolishly” given to Panama. “We didn't give it to China. We gave it to Panama, and we’re taking it back.”

McKinley, 123 years after his assassination, often ranks as an above average but not spectacular president in presidential rankings. For Trump, McKinley ranks high because of his love of tariffs.

The tallest peak in North America has been named Denali since 2015 when its name was officially changed under former President Barack Obama.

The President's order to rename Denali, North America's highest peak, back to Mount McKinley does not agree with Alaska senator.

Mapmakers and teachers are re-thinking what to call the gulf of water between Mexico, the United States and Cuba after President Donald Trump ordered it renamed from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

McKinley, who was inaugurated in 1897, presided over the negotiations that created the Panama Canal. He loved tariffs, both as a way to fund the government and to protect domestic industry. And he courted, and was courted by, robber barons of the Gilded Age.

Donald Trump’s second inaugural blended with tariffs, territorial ambitions, and McKinley-era policies, reviving old American traditions.

The President-elect’s brand of America First isolationism has always sat awkwardly with his Napoleonic tendencies.

President Donald Trump has vowed to lower prices for all Americans, but his tariff proposal could work counter to that goal.

Wiser about the use of power, the newly sworn-in president suggests that this time he will not take no for an answer, whether in enacting an ambitious domestic agenda or in his expansionist worldview.
