Trump followed up with a separate post Sunday afternoon, saying “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,” claiming his original statement had “totally blown up.”

President Donald Trump on Sunday escalated his call for the Washington Commanders to change their name back to the “Redskins,” threatening to restrict the NFL team’s stadium deal if they don’t, though it’s unclear how he would be able to.

"OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!" wrote President Trump, in calling on the Washington Commanders to revert to the name Redskins, which many view as a slur against Native Americans.
