Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
07/22/21
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, and I guarantee that the people who are most angry about it are the many Indians of our Country. Wouldn’t it be an honor to have a team named the Cleveland Indians, and wouldn’t it be disrespectful to rip that name and logo off of those jerseys? The people of Cleveland cannot be thrilled and I, as a FORMER baseball fan, cannot believe things such as this are happening. A small group of people, with absolutely crazy ideas and policies, is forcing these changes to destroy our culture and heritage. At some point, the people will not take it anymore!

Done with baseball, done with football, done with women’s soccer.
Guardians against what? A horde of Molson-swilling Canadians coming for our maple tree farms? LOL!
To be fair... would you want your group name associated with the MLB losers of Cleveland?
Trump’s statement is more about the decimation of Americana and traditions by the Left than it is about standing up for a mediocre baseball team that hasn’t won since 1948.
Native Americans cancelled.
I still prefer the “Cleveland Engines”.
Can I still watch Major League with Charlie Sheen?...
Guardians? As in someone who controls someone else? Might as well call themselves the Cleveland Slavemasters. /s
My wife suggested that they just change their logo from Chief Wahoo to Ghandi.
The American Indians I have known preferred to identify as American Indians because they felt that reflected their heritage.
Another step to eliminate Native Americans from public consciousness.
If the Indians organization changed their logo to a graphic of an Indian killing and scalping a white family and their dog, the left would have allowed them to keep the name ...
Just think of all the cities, counties, states, streets, rivers, mountains that will have to have their name changed.
I’m so tired of this crap. The Indians by any other name will still suck.
What is the standard tease-name of the Guardians?
Hardlyones?
Garterbeltians?
Fartians?
Gavrones?
Kardashians?
Lardians?
Margins?
Pardons?
Sardines?
Tardians?
Yardians?
A s#it team by any other name is still a s#it team
My Universities football team (Louisiana University Monroe) was called the Indians. It was called the Indians in honor of the noble tribes in North Louisiana of years past. Today it is not called the Indians as this is politically incorrect. This confuses me.
We honored noble tribes via their name. To change the name is dishonor in my mind. ?????
