However, he suggested that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/state-watch\/5387255-trump-suggests-commanders-back-to-redskins\/\"><u>should the Commanders rack<\/u><\/a>&nbsp;up more wins, he would support the current name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cYou want me to make a controversial statement?

But, you know, winning can make everything sound good. So if they win, all of a sudden the Commanders sounds good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Last month, Trump went after the NFL for selecting Bad Bunny, who has previously&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/administration\/5542365-trump-nfl-super-bowl-bad-bunny\/\"><u>criticized his administration<\/u><\/a>, as the Super Bowl halftime show performer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cI don\u2019t know who he is.
