TFG says Cleveland Indians name change is 'such a disgrace' and 'disrespectful' to Native Americans

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump has criticized the Cleveland Indians' decision to change their name to the Cleveland Guardians, calling it a "disgrace."

On Friday Trump released a statement saying, "Can anybody believe that the Cleveland Indians, a storied and cherished baseball franchise since taking the name in 1915, are changing their name to the Guardians? Such a disgrace."

Trump said that the move was "disrespectful" to Native Americans. "I guarantee that the people who are most angry about it are the many Indians of our Country," he said.

The Major League Baseball club announced the name change on Friday through a video narrated by Tom Hanks.

1. Are trees actually dying so the Orange Turd can keep churning these notes out?

The horror…..the horror…

[Diamond_Dog]

2. I was going to reply ...

But there’s so much stupid in his statement, I can’t even ....

[rickyhall]

3. Are other people named Trump changing their names? I would.

[yardwork]

4. Who cares what he thinks.

[A HERETIC I AM]

6. Unfortunately, tens of millions of Americans.

[yardwork]

7. That is so unfortunate. For all of us.

[gratuitous]

5. So much butthurt

For something that's none of his business. Sad!

8. Dear Donnie. Demonstrate to me that you can find Cleveland on a map.

Meanwhile, shut the fuck up.

[Tarc]

9. "Guardians" is kind of a dumb alternative, but...

I guess the "Cleveland Mistake by the Lake" wouldn't have fit on the uniform.

15. apparently that is a reference to the figures guarding the roadway to the park.

[tanyev]

10. LOL. Never once has the phrase "storied and cherished" ever emerged from his brain.

[PJMcK]

11. Hey, Trump!

You shouldn't refer to Native Americans as "Indians." Your lame attempt to claim racial superiority falls completely on its face. Nice prat-fall, loser.

Frankly, it's really quite insulting.

And ignorant.

And stupid.

You're an idiot.

[hatrack]

12. Yeah, the Chief Wahoo logo really oozed "respect" for Native Americans . . .

[moondust]

13. TFG is really stupid and depraved.

I'm sure he doesn't understand that some people may not want to see their extended family/tribe to be a seen as a mascot with cartoonish characters, emblems, and mottos for other groups/tribes. It's demeaning.

14. So...

The people who lobbied hardest for the change are angry that it happened.

Dear Orange Blob:

STFU.

[niyad]

16. so much respect for the Indigenous peoples of this land from the guy who sued to

block tribal casinos.

[Ilsa]

17. Indian Americans are probably glad

for the recognition that Native Americans are not Indians.

TFG is always whining about something.

[Peppertoo]

18. What skin is it off his nose?

[BSdetect]

19. How I miss his attention to detail and micromanagement. Not.

[spanone]

20. the only disgrace I continually see is that fucking guy.
