It would cost an enormous amount of taxpayer dollars to change the name.
For what reason does this possibly make sense?

More stupid stunts that don’t address problems US citizens care about.
Fix healthcare.
Fix Social Security.
Fix poverty.
Stop firing people.
Stop disrupting and defunding science.
Stop effing up museums, the Kennedy Center, Universities.
Stop with the tacky gold crap all over the White House.
Stop the dumb ballroom that few US citizens will ever set foot in.

That’s what it was for 158 years and it’s a more apt name for what it actually is.

Sentient people prefer to live in peace, not die in war.

There is no end to the stupidity of this administration. Question for the MAGAts...What will you say when you see how many more billions this administration will spend this year over the amount they've been allocated?

And then there are people who live in the real world and know that the United States has only been at peace for a cumulative 20 years. The United States is a nation of war.

Bogus claim dependent on a very loose definition of being “at war”.
 
Trump has a very small pee pee and he's a draft dodger. We have confirmation of that from other people.

So he has to try to make people think he's something he's not by using tough words. The exact opposite thing that a confident, well adjusted tough man would do. Especially confident Southern men.

I'd say a lot of the MAGA base Is very similar to him in that way.

Trump can't rename this department without congressional approval...

Who told you that he could?

Whomever was saying this counted on people being gullible, and knew the people they were talking to wouldn't actually be educated on the subject...

There is a difference between defense and war. I'm sure we all remember the US declaring war on Afghanistan, Iran, Grenada, Vietnam, Korea etc.

I know that, and apparently you know that. Does Trump know that?

Oh, Trump definitely counts on people being gullible.

What do you expect this malleable Congress will do if Donald gets a woody from this idea and tells them to rename the DoD?

So.............

You want him to just quit?

That's his entire game plan

Accuracy is less important than image. I see only negative possible consequences from this name change, and no possible benefit.

Hardly. The last time the US declared war was in 1942.

Donald isn't interested in your little opinions on what he can or cannot do. Remember, he makes the decision about what the department should be named, Pete executes the decision, and @Metric Mouse and Congress get to express their opinions on the matter, nothing more. And if either of your opinions is that the name shouldn't change, it's not like Pete cares what you think or takes orders from Congress or yourself. Donald told him to change the name of the department, so the name will change.
 
Nobody is looking at this the right way.

Just documentation reprinting is going to be billions of dollars to whichever company is willing to buy the most DJT coin.

The Department of War became the Department of Defense through a two-step process: Congress merged the Department of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force into the National Military Establishment in 1947, which was then renamed the Department of Defense by Congress in 1949.
So, would you have complained when they changed it the first time? Or is your objection just because it's Trump as is the case with so many Trump haters. No reason except you don't like Donnie.

They changed it per the rules and established procedure, the sort of things Trump doesn’t believe in.

Trump is a loathsome human being; crimnally corrupt, immoral, unethical, crude, and inept.
