Not bad,” Trump said during a three-yard run by Jacory Croskey-Merritt. When asked why he enjoys attending sporting events, Trump — who was also at the Super Bowl in February — said sports is a microcosm of life.“You have the triumph and you have the problems, and you have to get through the problems to hit the triumphs,” the President said.Trump’s appearance at the game came on the heels of an ESPN report that the President wants the Commanders’ new stadium named after him.Washington currently plays at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, which has been the team’s home since 1997. The Commanders played at RFK Stadium from 1961 through 1996, winning three Super Bowls during that time period. The demolition of the stadium began earlier this year. In April, Washington owner Josh Harris, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, and Washington D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser announced the Commanders would return to the nation’s capital in a new stadium at the RFK site. The new structure will cost at least $3.7 billion, $2.7 billion of which will be paid by the team. The district will pay $1 billion, while the team will be responsible for any cost overruns.

And you have a wonderful owner, Josh and his group, and you’re going to see some very good things.” The president was also asked how feels the country is doing amid the government shutdown that entered its 40th day on Sunday. Trump said things are “great.”“People have spirit. Our stock market hit an all time high. Prices are coming down,” he said. “We inherited a mess. Prices are coming way down. And I’ll tell you, our country has over $17 trillion being invested in it, which is a record. So we’re doing great.” Rohan NadkarniRohan Nadkarni is a sports reporter for NBC News.

Oct. 6, 2025, 7:40 PM EDTBy Zoë RichardsPresident Donald Trump said Monday that he would consider invoking the Insurrection Act “if it was necessary,” particularly if the courts or state and local officials delay his plans to deploy the National Guard.”I’d do it if it was necessary. So far it hasn’t been necessary. But we have an Insurrection Act for a reason,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office when he was asked under what conditions he would consider the rarely used 19th century law.”If I had to enact it, I’d do that. If people were being killed and courts were holding us up or governors or mayors were holding us up, sure, I’d do that. I mean, I want to make sure that people aren’t killed. We have to make sure that our cities are safe,” he added.The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows the president to mobilize the U.S. military to conduct civilian law enforcement activities under certain circumstances. It was last used during the 1992 Los Angeles riots.Trump was speaking about his efforts to federalize troops and crack down on crime in Democratic-run cities.A federal judge in Oregon on Sunday blocked the Trump administration from deploying federalized National Guard members from California or other states to Portland’s streets.U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, had also blocked the administration from deploying Oregon National Guard troops in Portland.”Portland’s been on fire for years, and not so much saving it,” Trump told reporters Monday. “We have to save something else, because I think that’s all insurrection. I really think that’s really criminal insurrection.”Oregon AG: Trump shouldn’t deploy troops to cities unless under ‘extreme circumstances’02:44Trump and his allies similarly referred to protesters opposing Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Los Angeles as “insurrectionists,” and Trump offered a similar answer in June when he was asked about any plans to invoke the Insurrection Act. “Depends on whether or not there’s an insurrection,” he said at the time, without ruling out the possibility of using it in the future.A key Trump ally argued earlier Monday that such action is needed now.In a text message to NBC News before Trump’s Oval Office remarks, former White House strategist Steve Bannon said Trump “needs to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 immediately and deploy active duty U.S. Army personnel and assets to Portland and Chicago — he needs to put Pritzker and Newsom in their place.”California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, both Democrats, have opposed Trump’s National Guard efforts in their states.At a news conference earlier Monday, Pritzker suggested that Trump is trying to sow unrest so he can invoke the Insurrection Act.”The Trump administration is following a playbook cause chaos, create fear and confusion, make it seem like peaceful protesters are a mob by firing gas pellets and tear gas canisters at them,” Pritzker said. “Why? To create the pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act so that he can send military troops to our city.”Illinois sued Monday to block the Trump administration from deploying federalized National Guard troops to Chicago. A judge declined to immediately block the administration’s move and instead scheduled a hearing for Thursday.White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement that Pritzker had failed to address violence in his state.“Amidst ongoing violent riots and lawlessness, that local leaders like Pritzker have refused to step in to quell, President Trump has exercised his lawful authority to protect federal officers and assets,” Jackson said. “President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities.”During his first term, despite nudging from allies, Trump ultimately did not invoke the Insurrection Act, which the White House said was a possibility in response to demonstrations stemming from the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May 2020.Zoë RichardsZoë Richards is a politics reporter for NBC News.Katherine Doyle and Dareh Gregorian contributed.

Nov. 22, 2025, 6:00 AM ESTBy Arata Yamamoto and Jay GanglaniTOKYO — As Japan’s first female prime minister, Sanae Takaichi has broken new ground in a country that struggles with gender equality. But she has quickly run up against a tradition that may be immovable.Trophies for sumo wrestling, Japan’s national sport, are sometimes presented by the country’s top leader — most recently in January, when Shigeru Ishiba, the prime minister at the time, awarded the winner’s trophy at the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo.But awkward questions arose ahead of the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament, which concludes Sunday in the Japanese city of Fukuoka. Takaichi is prohibited from entering the ring according to the rules of sumo, which consider women impure.Takaichi will have a chance to sidestep the issue as the Japanese leader is expected to attend the G20 summit in South Africa this weekend amid a diplomatic spat with China. But the dilemma could resurface during the New Year’s tournament in Tokyo.In Japan, sumo is not just a sport but a 1,500-year-old tradition that is held sacred in the nation of over 100 million people. It has deep roots in Shinto, Japan’s Indigenous religion.Experts suggested Takaichi, a hard-line conservative elected last month whose policies are not seen as particularly pro-women, is likely to avoid the issue altogether so as not to challenge tradition, and send another high-ranking government official instead.“She doesn’t want to upset her supporters or conservatives,” said Hiromi Murakami, an expert on Japanese politics at Temple University in Japan.“They don’t want to even see a discussion around the topic,” she said.Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in South Korea on Nov. 1.SeongJoon Cho / Bloomberg via Getty ImagesMinoru Kihara, the Japanese government’s top spokesperson, said last week that Takaichi “holds the view that Japan’s sumo culture is a traditional art form that should be cherished.” She “intends to respect the traditions of sumo culture,” he later told reporters in Tokyo.Reached for comment this week, the Japan Sumo Association said it had not received any request from Takaichi’s office regarding her involvement. The association told the Asahi Shimbun newspaper this month, “We believe it is our mission to pass down the traditional culture of sumo.”This is not the first time there have been questions as to whether a high-ranking female official would be allowed to enter the sumo ring, also known as the dohyo.In 1990, Mayumi Moriyama became Japan’s first female chief Cabinet secretary, who often represents the government at sumo trophy ceremonies. The sumo association did not allow her to do so.The association rejected another request in 2000 by Japan’s first female governor, Fusae Ohta, to enter the sumo ring at a tournament in the city of Osaka. She ultimately presented the trophy on a walkway next to the dohyo.In 2018, a female mayor, Tomoko Nakagawa of the city of Takarazuka, was denied a request to make a speech in the ring. That same year, the association apologized after two women were ordered out of the ring when they rushed to the aid of a mayor who had collapsed inside it.Such incidents underscore the challenges that continue to face women in Japan, which ranked 118th out of 148 countries in the World Economic Forum’s 2025 Global Gender Gap Report.Sumo wrestling has also proved popular on the rare occasion a competition is held outside Japan. Last month, tickets sold out for the Grand Sumo Tournament at London’s Royal Albert Hall, which hosted the event for the first time in 34 years.“It’s quite interesting that they went to the U.K.,” Murakami said. “If there’s a female political leader who wants to give the trophy, what would happen then?”Arata Yamamoto reported from Tokyo, and Jay Ganglani from Hong Kong.Arata YamamotoArata Yamamoto has been an NBC News producer in Tokyo since 1993.Jay GanglaniJay Ganglani is NBC News’s 2025-26 Asia Desk Fellow. Previously he was an NBC News Asia Desk intern and a Hong Kong-based freelance journalist who has contributed to news publications such as CNN, Fortune and the South China Morning Post.
