President Donald Trump threatened Sunday to torpedo Washington's planned RFK Stadium redevelopment unless the NFL franchise now called the Commanders revives its former Redskins nickname.
What Happened: In a two‑part Truth Social salvo, Trump first wrote, "My statement on the Washington Reskins has totally blown up, but only in a very positive way." He continued: "I may put a restriction on them that 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."
