Trying to draw attention away from Epstein.
The American football team dropped the name Redskins in 2020 after decades of criticism that it was a racial slur with links to the U.S. genocide of the Indigenous population.
Trump had called for a return to the name Redskins - and for the Cleveland Guardians baseball team to once again adopt the name Indians - on other occasions, but on Sunday he added that he may take official action.
"I may put a restriction on them that if they dont change the name back to the original 'Washington Redskins,' and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, 'Washington Commanders,' I wont make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.

(19,320 posts)Under a regime such as the US is now suffering. Being Brit born with Brit pragmaticism I've always experienced reasonably fair government.
So we're talking about citizens of the "Land of the Free" being scared of violence, injury and death from their own government because of their political views?
That to me would prompt a revolution.

Will that change? I have no really solid predictions as to that.
