"The Washington "Whatever's" should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this," Mr. Trump wrote.

Hours later, Mr. Trump said he "may put a restriction on them that if they don't change the name back to the original 'Washington Redskins,' and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, 'Washington Commanders,' I won't make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington."

He's trying so hard to pivot off the Epstein files.

Just said that in a thread about the plastic straw thing...

We're going to see a flurry of shit because they're desperate to change the topic to anything.

He might go real crazy and legalize weed or something too, something that regardless of anything else can be spun as a "win" to the population at large.

Maybe everyone should remember why they changed.

Dan Synder sexually harrassed and discriminated against the cheerleaders and other female staff. He would make his cheerleaders rub up and ask them to fuck his buddies. A real piece of shit!

Like most of the NFL owners, he got away with it. Just paid them off. Trump's kind of people.

Everytime Trump tries to misdirect people, it leads to other rapist. He can't get away from them.

Yeah just the other day he was asked about this football team name. And he was like “eh I don’t recall care.”

Now he has an opinion.
