Fact-Check: Trump and the Washington NFL Team Name Change

What We Know

The claim that "the craziest part about Trump trying to make the Washington NFL team change their name is that he f**ed chidren that Epstein held prisoner on an island, and he really wants to stop us from talking about it" combines several allegations regarding former President Donald Trump and his actions concerning the Washington NFL team's name change, as well as his connection to Jeffrey Epstein.

  1. Trump's Demand for Name Change: President Trump has indeed called for the Washington NFL team, currently known as the Commanders, to revert to its former name, the Redskins, which is widely recognized as a racial slur. He threatened to block a new stadium deal unless the name was changed back (AP News, NBC Washington).

  2. Psychological Impact of Native American Mascots: Experts have documented the negative mental health impacts associated with Native American mascots. Research indicates that such mascots can lead to increased rates of depression, self-harm, and substance abuse among Indigenous peoples, particularly affecting children (NBC Washington, Washington Post).

  3. Trump's Relationship with Epstein: Trump's past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has been scrutinized, especially following Epstein's arrest and subsequent death. Reports indicate that Trump has attempted to shift focus away from Epstein-related controversies, often using political attacks to divert media attention (New York Times, ABC News).

Analysis

The claim in question is multifaceted, involving both Trump's actions regarding the NFL team name and his alleged attempts to distract from his past associations with Epstein.

  • Source Reliability: The sources used to substantiate Trump's demand for the name change are credible news outlets, including the Associated Press and NBC Washington, which provide well-researched articles on the psychological implications of Native American mascots and Trump's political maneuvers. These sources are known for their journalistic integrity and fact-checking standards.

  • Connection to Epstein: The assertion that Trump is trying to distract from his past with Epstein is supported by multiple reports from reputable sources, including the New York Times and ABC News. These articles detail Trump's history of deflecting attention from negative press by launching attacks on political opponents or shifting the narrative to other topics (New York Times, ABC News).

  • Allegations of Criminal Behavior: The claim that Trump "f**ed chidren that Epstein held prisoner" is unsubstantiated and lacks credible evidence. While Trump and Epstein were known to associate in social circles, there is no verified information or legal findings that support the claim of Trump engaging in any criminal behavior related to Epstein's activities. This aspect of the claim appears to be a sensationalized assertion without factual backing.

Conclusion

The claim that Trump is trying to change the Washington NFL team's name as a distraction from allegations involving Epstein is misleading and contains unfounded allegations. While it is true that Trump has called for the team to revert to its former name and has a history of deflecting negative attention, the specific assertion regarding his involvement with children linked to Epstein is false and lacks credible evidence. Therefore, the overall verdict on this claim is False.

Fact Check: Donny’s sent Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to ‘interview’ Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving twenty years in prison for trafficking teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein.

wait, did I say Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche? I should have said Donny’s personal attorney Todd Blanche — because that’s what Todd was before Donny appointed him to the DOJ.

how convenient, to have one’s own personal attorney running interference as the second-in-command at the DOJ.

so Blanche is talking to Maxwell. here’s the adminstration’s official bullshit cover story, as dutifully stenographed by the worthless scribblers of The New York Times.

The interview with Ms. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, is part of the department’s effort to quell criticism that it is concealing details of Mr. Epstein’s crimes and interactions with high-profile figures, including President Trump.

oh, I see — they’re ‘quelling criticism.’ how in the holy name of fuck does that work?

does anyone believe that justice is what this is about? if you do, I have five bankrupt casinos in Atlantic City to sell you.

we all goddamn well know that Blanche is down there offering Ghislaine a deal. it’s probably something like ‘exonerate Donny. tell everyone he did nothing wrong, and Donny will pardon you on the spot.’

you’d be naive to think otherwise. because that’s how the most corrupt administration in the history of corruption rolls.

it’s a fucking cover-up, is what it is.

let’s go to Akaash Singh one more time:

‘they’re hiding something CRAZY.’

Fact Check: Some insane breaking news coming out of the White House as we are now learning that President Joe Biden 73 days between his transition of him leaving office and President Donald Trump becoming president there was a discrepancy in which they actually gave out over $73 billion dollars in loans to small and medium businesses. However, they can't find the list of who they gave the money to. They are now doing congressional hearings on what happened to the money whether or not the money was actually ever given to any 00:32 small or medium businesses. Of course, Joe Biden had no comment as he doesn't recall any of those situations going at the time and now is admitted that his staff was using an auto pen in order for them to sign whatever they need from him in order to move forward and that these loans were likely a part of that auto pen
