During Monday’s White House briefing, press secretary Kayleigh McEnany was asked if President Donald Trump supports renaming the Cleveland Indians or the Washington Redskins.

She said that she hasn’t spoken to POTUS about it, but Trump may have been watching, because after the press conference he weighed in and decried the planned name changes as efforts to be “politically correct.”

Both teams recently made news saying they’re looking into name changes.

And this afternoon, Trump tweeted, “They name teams out of STRENGTH, not weakness, but now the Washington Redskins & Cleveland Indians, two fabled sports franchises, look like they are going to be changing their names in order to be politically correct. Indians, like Elizabeth Warren, must be very angry right now!” . . .

And of course Trump throws in a gratuitous slimy comment about Elizabeth Warren.

1. Changing the names is atonement for reprehensible behavior.

Not changing the names in order to appease some racist, Trump-loving assholes? That would be political correctness!...

[C_U_L8R]

2. Oh those tiny racist tears are going to spoil his makeup.

Pathetic orange puddles of hate.

[Iliyah]

3. shithole really does not care about team names nor . . ..

confederate monuments, but his cult does. He is catering to his racist cult. Seems like everyone working with him, for him are racist assholes.

Vote them out!

4. And just after he crapped all over the Oglala Lakota Nation

at the Six Grandfathers. But he doesn't care; they weren't going to vote for him anyhow. If you're not part of his base you don't count.

5. Benedict Donald is still pissed off, I'm sure, that the NFL owners wouldn't let him buy a team

in the league. At least they recognized a crook when they saw one.

[GulfCoast66]

20. Oh, they would have let him. Had he been a real Billionaire.

Not a poser with Billions in debt.

If trump loses he will lose all his properties except maybe the one in Florida. The banks will happily call his loans and take his properties.

He will die a broken and broke man.

[Marcuse]

26. No, they know by experience he is unfit to run a NFL team, much less a nation.

[Grokenstein]

6. Let's see him "preserve" THAT in his statue garden boondoggle.

[BlueIdaho]

8. Must be exhausting staying in the wrong side of so many issues...

These team names have been offensive for how many decades now?

[bobbieinok]

9. He's claiming 'Indians' like these names, right? And will be sad, angry names will be changed?

That's the way I unterpret his tweet at any rate.

That interpretation is believable because he has no knowledge or understanding of history! And cannot comprehend what he 'reads' or hears!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. They've been trying to get those names changed for years.

10. I'm sure he must think he is so smart to have added that little bit about Liz Warren

smirking to himself as he thumbed it I'm sure.

[ancianita]

11. Whiny little snowflake.

[Initech]

12. It's like he sits around and tries to come up with the wrong answer for everything.

General consensus: Cheerios are delicious!
Trump: I hate Cheerios!

General consensus: Hamilton on Disney+ is worth watching!
Trump: Hell no, I hate musicals, they're lame.

General consensus: Who doesn't love a good bowl of Mac N Cheese?
Trump: Mac N Cheese is the grossest food on the planet.

Yeah he's that guy.

[LeftInTX]

16. It's none of his business!!

Shouldn't he be running the govt and not the NFL?

[Mickju]

17. Of course he doesn't like it.

All the more reason to do it.

[bucolic_frolic]

18. Says the guy with tinted skin and orang_utan hair

[olddad65]

19. I like the Washington Racists.

[BHDem53]

21. How about the Washington Snyders?

The tangerine traitor always has to get that Warren dig in there. What sharp wit!
