Trump demands Washington NFL team changes its name back to Redskins, threatens team’s stadium deal

Glad to see the maggies got their priorities straight.

... Not sure what the problem is --- The Washington football team
is a private company, so to speak... So, they should pay for
their-own stadium. ... WHY is there a stadium "deal"??

Salty, if you don't understand the economics behind why so many cities help pay for stadiums, perhaps you should read up on it to understand the economics behind why they do so to benefit their city. As Pb posted though, Trump isn't paying for shit. This money does not come from federal funding.

Yesterday, Trump threw his flunkies a bone to focus on Washington and Cleveland football team names and an AI generated video of Obama in jail. Today he goes even lower by releasing the MLK files that have been sealed since my parents were in high school for a reason. How low will this piece of shit go to divert the attention away from his self-created Epstein circus that never would have occurred if the old fat man baby just knew how to STFU about it while campaigning.

... First-off, I DO understand that citys and townes WANT
the taxpayers to fund the lot of the new stadium costs.

... Doesn't make it right, though.

And second, WHAT does AI and OBama maybe going to jail
and the Epstein circus have to do with the side bringing
the Redskins name back??

If you're wondering why those things belong in this thread, then why did you choose to repeat them?

This thread is about Trump threatening another private business to suit his ego. This time, he's threatening them using lands that belong to you and me, not just to him to do with as he pleases.

This behaviour is unacceptable for a sitting President of the United States.

... WHAT lands "that belongs to you and me" is being threatened??

Are YOU sayin' that the new stadium lad belongs to you and me?
If that's the case - I don't want the government or taxpayers
footing the bill for "me-own" lands... How 'bout you?

... And I'd think that protecting American football history and the
proud name "Redskins" with the GREAT-LOOKING logo would be important.

... Reckon you and I don't see eye to eye on this, mate.

“ President should not be telling the Washington Redskins to change their name - our country has far bigger problems! FOCUS on them, not nonsense”
9:00 AM. Oct 8, 2013

That was Trump‘s unsolicited advice to Obama about what a president should be doing.

Fast forward to July 20, 2025, 10:17 AM. Trump posted on Truth Social:

“The Washington ‘Whatever’s should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this.”


Trump is a fucking moron! And his MAGA cultists don't have enough self-awareness to even be embarrassed for the stupidity and dishonesty coming from cheeto in chief.

... WHAT "stupidity and dishonesty" is that?

The name Redskins and Indians honors Native Americans, not berates them.. If you think This is about money, land, or Trump’s ego, you are delusional. This is about cancelling “cancel culture.” Democrats support cancel culture. MAGA does not. Trump will win on this issue and score another moral victory against the left. And it drives you crazy. That’s the real issue.
