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.

    Finally a president that is tackling the real issues head on. I really hope he forces Aunt Jamima’s face back onto syrup bottles soon. I miss seeing that sweet woman at the breakfast table so goddamm much. I’m clamoring Mr president, clamoring I say.
