The White House has said that naming a new Washington Commanders football stadium after President Donald Trump would be "beautiful".The Douchebag Dome has a nice ring to it.
The remarks follow an ESPN report that the White House has been discussing the possibility with the owners of the NFL team.
The planned $3.7bn stadium will be built on the site of the old RFK Stadium, which is currently being demolished.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt all said in an email to the BBC that naming it in honour of the president would be fitting.
"That would be a beautiful name, as it was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new stadium possible," she said.
The unnamed White House official told ESPN over the weekend: "It's what the president wants, and it will probably happen."
Trump attended a game on Sunday between the Commanders and the Detroit Lions at the Commanders' current stadium in Landover, Maryland.
The game will honour American veterans, and Trump is expected to participate in halftime activities.
American football teams typically sell naming rights for their stadiums to corporate sponsors for tens of million of dollars, like the Minnesota Vikings' US Bank Stadium or Seattle Seahawks' Lumen Field.
But there are some football stadiums that don't have corporate names, such the Chicago Bears' Soldier Field and the Green Bay Packers' Lambeau Field, named after the team's founder and longtime coach.
The president doesn't want to buy the stadium name, or have a corporation pay to name it after Trump, the White House source told ESPN. Instead, he wants it named in tribute to his efforts getting the stadium deal approved, sources told the network.
