A senior White House source said there have been back-channel 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."

(24,979 posts)But for Psychiatry this year, the Award went to a study of narcissistic personality disorder.
The study proved that if you praise and compliment a narcissist, his narcissistic personality disorder will get worse and worse. If you pepper a narcissist with constant praise, his personality disorder will become epic.
Duh.
Trump is a case study in narcissism. And his sycophantic cult is making his condition shoot into the stratosphere.

If we limit it to NFL stadiums, it would still cost him at least $400 million over 20 years.

I'm sure the Congressional Repuglicans, Supreme Court, and DOJ will agree with all of that.

Ergo, Trump "made it possible".

(172,486 posts)Its not surprising Trump is lobbying to have a football stadium named after him; its surprising that it took so long for this news to reach the public.
As Trump lobbies for a football stadium to bear his name, Iâm reminded of something he said six years ago at a tour of Mt. Vernon:

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 back-channel communications with a member of the Commanders ownership group, led by Josh Harris, to express Trumps desire to have the domed stadium in the nations capital bear his name. The new stadium is being built on the old RFK Stadium site that served as the teams home from 1961 to 1996.
Soon after, other news organizations published related reports, including The Associated Press and The New York Times. For its part, the White House made little effort to deny the story: Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, in response to inquiries, That would surely be a beautiful name.....
Its not surprising, then, that Trump is lobbying to have a football stadium named after himself; its surprising that it took so long for this news to reach the public.
Youve got to put your name on stuff, or no one remembers you.....
Im not in a position to say with any confidence whether the president will get his wish on any of these fronts, but his efforts are a timely reminder to those who mightve forgotten: Trumps principal focus is self-aggrandizement and self-glorification, not governing.
