TSF: "President McKinley was the President that was responsible for creating a vast sum of money. That’s one of the reasons that we’re going to bring back the name of Mount McKinley, because I think he deserves it.”

I don't know much about what happened during the McKinley administration, but I don't believe this is true. But whether it's true or not, doesn't it just say volumes about TSF's view of what matters?

No, it doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know, but I just love it when he trumpets (pun intended) his real priorities like this.
