For a president who bitched nonstop about Democrats increasing national debt, he sure seems to enjoy doing it himself.
It's such a waste of money just to change the letterheads, signage, etc.
-
Why spend the resources and money to do stupid shit like this?

The opposition party is the media, and the media can only — because they're dumb and they're lazy — they can only focus on one thing at a time.
All we have to do is flood the zone. Every day we hit them with three things. They'll bite on one, and we'll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never — will never be able to recover. But we've got to start with muzzle velocity.

Cuz they have the mentality of stupid children, and they think this is badass.

That's nice. Any progress on releasing the Epstein Files? Still waiting over here. Not gonna forget.

Tell me you’re weak and small without telling me you’re weak and small.

This might be the most honest thing he's ever done.

Why need a DoW if you end wars and no wars were started under you last time and all that blah blah blah peace peace peace Nobel peace.
But war department yes.
MAGA explain, show me the mental gymnastics

I’ll play Nazi’s Advocate:
Calling it the department of defense, it’s easier for us to justify the “conflicts” we “end up in”. By removing the new-speak and calling it the Department of War, it’ll be easier to see our actions for what they are: waging war. Since that’s less palatable, it’ll erode public support for war. Nobel Peace Prize, please!
(Which of course is in conflict with his other words and actions, but who cares, apparently)

Rare Trump win. No need for us to lie about what the Department of “Defense” does.

Just changing the letterhead on papers is going to run many $millions. Then the technology changes (codebase, email, domains, documentation, etc.) will be much worse. I can't believe it could be completed in less than 5 years.

Frankly for the rest of us the best thing Trump can do is bankrupt the US government.

I have mixed feelings on this one, tbh
On one hand, that was actually the original name. That changed after WW2 and to be honest I kinda think the name was part of a greater campaign to make it seem as though, somehow, the military actions that followed in the next few decades in the middle east, Asia, Latin America, etc. were actually all just "defending" the US. Which is bullshit.
On the other hand, having perhaps the most insane president this country has ever seen saying that calling it war instead of defense because its more accurate to the current times is quite concerning to say the least.

"perhaps the most insane"?

onion? pls?

Give this man the noble peace prize! /s
I guess he's accepted that he's not getting the Nobel. They aren't giving a Peace Prize to the guy that just created the Department of War.
