Trump wrote: “I can impose a ban on him that if they do not change the name back into the original Washington Redskins and get rid of the ridiculous monkey Washington commanders, I will not make a deal for them to build a stadium in Washington.
“The team will be very valuable and the deal will be more exciting for all.”
