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.

    Wasn’t there a handful of counties in NY that were largely blue, yet somehow Trump got every single vote?

    Edit: Rockland County in NY. Kamala received 0 votes, despite most voting blue down-ballot.

      unfortunately, it’s a disturbingly common belief that if you split your ticket like that it means you’re being “reasonable”/“moderate”/“centrist”.

      wait until you hear about the number of people who don’t turn over their ballot in elections where the choices don’t fit on one side…
