Should have known he'd want the new Washington Commanders stadium name for him......

President Donald Trump wants the Washington Commanders to name their planned $3.7 billion stadium after him, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.

A senior White House source said there have been backchannel communications with a member of the Commanders' ownership group, led by Josh Harris, to express Trump's desire to have the domed stadium in the nation's capital bear his name. The new stadium is being built on the old RFK Stadium site that served as the team's home from 1961 to 1996.

"That would be a beautiful name, as it was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new stadium possible," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told ESPN on Friday night via email.

Leavitt declined to answer additional questions, but the senior White House source told ESPN: "It's what the president wants, and it will probably happen."

Will the Commanders (silly, grab your crotch and grunt name) become the Pedos?

...and it wouldn't be enough.

Mary Trump's book Too Much And Never Enough is aptly titled. I haven't read it yet, as I' sure my usually on-the-ow-side blood pressure would shoot up.

Newsom has some great suggestions



I PROPOSE WE NAME MORE PLACES AFTER DONALD. RIKERS ISLAND SHALL BE "THE TRUMP FAMILY RETREAT." HIS BALLROOM: "DONNY'S MINIATURE MUSEUM OF MANHOOD." EPSTEIN ISLAND: "THE DONNY ALL-INCLUSIVE." LANDFILLS: "TRUMP'S AROMA GARDENS." SYPHILIS WILL NOW BE CALLED, "YOU'VE GOT DONALD."

They don't give them away for free. The Fascist Felon apparently thinks the NFL will allow him to just take what he wants. He couldn't buy his way in before, & I doubt they'll allow it now. Just my 2 cents.
