Trump said that the commanders would be “very valuable” if he had restored his old name.
Trump said on his social media site, “I can impose a ban on him that if he does not change the name back into the original ‘Washington Redskins’, and the ridiculous monkey, ‘I get rid of the Washington Commanders,’ I would not make a deal for him to build a stadium in Washington,” Trump said on his social media site.
His latest interest in changing names reflects his widespread efforts to return those changes after a national debate on cultural sensitivity and racial justice. Washington announced that he would explain his former name and logo widely to the people with systemic racism and police cruelty.
The commanders and the district of the Government of Columbia announced a deal earlier this year to build a new house for the football team on the site of the old RFK Stadium, the place where the franchise was called home for more than three decades.
Trump’s ability to catch the deal is yet to be seen. The President Joe Biden signed a bill in January, which transferred the land to Columbia district from the federal government.
This provision was part of a short -term expenditure bill passed by the Congress in December. Although DC residents are selected to run day-to-day operations of a Mayor, a city council and commissioners, the Congress controls the budget of the city.
Josh Harris, whose group bought the commanders of former owner Dan snider in 2023, said earlier this year that the name was to live here.

“We understand that there are different approaches on the decision we had taken a few years ago, but obviously, this is a decision that we have made. We have got the opportunity to create a brand as a guardian in the last four years and are excited about the future that we are,” he said.
Cleveland announced in December 2020 that it would leave the nickname of its Indians. It announced a switch to the Guardian in July 2021. In 2018, the team phased out “Chi Vahu” as its primary logo.
The name was part of supporters and critics in change, which was considered racist as part of national discussions about logo and names.
Trump posted on Sunday afternoon that “the owner of the Cleveland baseball team, Matt Dolan, who is very political, has lost three elections in a line due to a change in that ridiculous name. He does not understand what he changed the name to Cleveland Indians, he can actually win an election. Indians are being treated very unfairly.
Matt Dolan, son of late owner Larry Dolan, has no role with parents. He ran the team’s charity endeavors till 2016.
In Matt Dolan 2022 and 2024, Ohio was a candidate in the US Senate elections, but lost.
Washington and Cleveland share another thing in mangoes: David is a member of the Harris ownership group with commanders and has a minority stake in The Guardian.
