The president previously said that the NFL team's decision to change their name was 'degrading to the Indian population'

President Donald Trump said if it was his call, the Washington Commanders would have never changed the team nickname.

Now in the second term of President Donald Trump - and his first since these changes took place - Trump has issued what he called a "controversial statement" about whether he would change Washington's name back to the Redskins ... and whether he would've changed the name in the first place.
