Trump said Sunday on social media that he “may put a restriction” on the Commanders' anticipated deal with the District of Columbia government to build a new stadium in the nation’s capital “if they don’t change the name back to the original ‘Washington Redskins,’ and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, ‘Washington Commanders.'"
