Trump posted this later in the day as well:

Antonetti responded to Trump’s proposal that, “I understand there are very different perspectives on the decision we made a few years ago, but it’s a decision we made and we’ve gotten the opportunity to build the brand as the Guardians over the last four years and we’re excited about the future that’s in front of us.”

Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-OH, backed Trump’s proposal.

Ohio state Rep. Brian Lorenz (R) agreed with Trump as well.
