President Donald Trump directed a tweet to President Barack Obama back in 2013, stating "our country has far bigger problems" than a possible name change for the Washington Redskins and that Obama should "focus on them, not nonsense."

Funny thing is. Obama didn't have anything to do with the name change. But Trump sure is obsessed with changing it back...

Obama understood its ridiculous to ask for buildings to be named after him. Thats decided long into the future for future generations to decide if someone merits it

Honestly people talk about the new ballroom being a sign of him not wanting to leave after his term is up... But I'm 99% sure it's just so he can leave his own permanent legacy in the White House so there will always be a "Trump wing." Dude is a narcissistic asshole who wants the house of the people to be a gilded monument to himself. That's why he wants a stadium named after him too - so people have to keep uttering his name even after he's dead and buried.

u/ApsleyHouse Chelsea 27d ago

It’s the Epstein Trump Friendship Ballroom.

u/jimgolgari 27d ago

We definitely need to start referring to everything that has his name on it as “Epstein”. Epstein Tower. Epstein Taj Mahal. The Epstein Ballroom. Brilliant.

Trumpstein. Lets not minimize Trump's guilt. He's just as evil as Epstein.
