To add a little bit of context: What Trump likely had on his mind (I know) was a controversy on Long Island he’s recently stuck his nose in: > **[President Donald Trump says Massapequa school district should keep its...](https://www.newsday.com/long-island/education/massapequa-mascot-president-trump-b2gt4fzc)** > > The president posted on Truth Social that he asked U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to intervene on the issue. (Not sure if that’s paywalled or not.) The NY Board of Regents has required all public schools using American Indian-related team names and mascots to change them. Some schools did so, some objected, but the courts have sided with the Board. ---

Yeah, the team’s in DC in the same way the Giants and the Jets are in NY. Or the Cowboys in Dallas. Or the 49ers in SF. Actually, come to think of it and notwithstanding the word slurry of a response, the question itself was pretty dumb all around. What a-hole asked it? Some ass kissing fool thinking he was setting up a softball and watching an elderly man with dementia flail about instead? ---
