Where does mt mckinley as a name come from?

Like why does he want that to be the name instead of what everyone calls it?

From Wikipedia, he said:

McKinley was a very good, maybe a great president. They took his name off Mount McKinley. That’s what they do to people. 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.

  What a profoundly… “Trumpian” idea of a great president
  
  Gross.
