Although Trump has not publicly stated his desire for this, a senior White House source suggested it is something the president wants and that it will likely happen.<\/p>\n<p>The new <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >stadium project<\/a>, a $3.7 billion progress planned for the site of RFK stadium, was approved by the D.C. Council and coincided with Trump&#8217;s second presidential term. Despite Trump&#8217;s earlier efforts to influence team decisions,including wanting the team to revert to its former name,the Redskins,the stadium plan moved forward. Naming rights for NFL stadiums are typically sold to corporate sponsors, so securing the stadium&#8217;s name for Trump could be challenging, but insiders suggest he has notable leverage to make it possible.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">White House hails &lsquo;beautiful&rsquo; prospect of new Commanders stadium bearing Trump&rsquo;s name<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2395737\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt seemingly fueled speculation on Saturday that the new <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/washington-commanders\">Washington Commanders<\/a> stadium could be named after President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a>, calling the prospect &ldquo;beautiful.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Leavitt was responding to an ESPN <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/46892115\/trump-wants-commanders-stadium-named-him\">report<\/a> that revealed discussions have taken place between the White House and the Commanders ownership group about having the NFL team&rsquo;s new, nearly $4 billion stadium in Washington, D.C., bear Trump&rsquo;s name.
