Trump on Sunday pushed the Washington Commanders NFL team to return to its previous name, which was scrapped five years ago because it included a word that many view as a slur against Native Americans.

The president also threatened to block a complicated deal for the Commanders to return to a stadium in Washington, D.C., unless they return to the name “Washington Redskins.”

“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.

    He is such an idiot. As President of the US, don’t we think he has more important issues to be concerned with? Like, does he have any focus/power of concentration or filter? WTAF. Why do we have this senile dumbass in charge???

      He very much does not want us to worry about the more important issues. This is his playbook, ignore the noise.
