Trump Set to Sign E.O. Tomorrow Renaming DoD As Department of War

Yea, so you think congress won't approve it??
Probably. The cucks will give the orange idiot what ever he asks for, if actual legislation is presented. This is the Trump administration, so....maybe, in two weeks?
 
DO you really believe the Opposition Party will give Trump Congressional approval for anything Trump wants to do?
Remember, the Opposition Party wants Trump to fail so that the Dems can win next November. Is that a recipe for bi-partisan cooperation?
They would if it made any sense.
 
Are you aware of the reason the agency was renamed after World War II ? Are you aware of the costs to the US and other countries to change the countless ways DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE appears on documents, signage, IDs, on and on.
Can you name ONE good reason for the name change?
Can you name ONE good reason for the name change of the Gulf of Mexico?
You have retreated to the cost issue to register your disdain for the name change. How does that compare to paying for 12 million illegal aliens?
Did you also register your disdain for the billions of dollars spent to feed, transport, house, and provide social services to illegal aliens allowed to sneak into this country during the Biden Administration?
Do those costs necessitated by Biden's failed border policies mean anything to Moderates such as yourself?


The Cost of the Border Crisis: $150.7 Billion and Counting​

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, the House Budget Committee held a hearing entitled “The Cost of the Border Crisis” to highlight the importance of border security and the fiscal implications of President Biden’s failed border policies. Witnesses from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), Texas Public Policy Foundation’s “Secure and Sovereign Texas” Initiative, and Kinney County, Texas, testified before the committee to show the impacts of the border crisis, particularly the southern border, on a local, state, and federal level.
“The greatest national security threat to the American people is posed by these open borders. The social cost has consistently been well in front of the American people. But I don't think we've talked enough about the financial burden to taxpayers and the fiscal impact.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) has done a great job. Studies suggest this cost is upwards of $400 billion, but their cost estimate is $150 billion. The lion's share of that cost is borne by state and local governments. State and local governments can't borrow or print money like the federal government, so they have to balance their budgets by either absorbing this cost through raising taxes or they have to cut services to their citizens.”

All non-MAGAs should oppose anything the Trump admin proposes. It's been 8 months of idiocy and corruption.

Everything is a joke to you people. First you were applauding Musk and DoGE. Now you're applauding all the wasteful spending by Trump. My God, his pet projects are costing us billions and Trumpers think it's great. When the dems do it, it's a national emergency. When Trump does it, it's perfectly fine.

Make up your ****ing minds !!!!!

Is the country failing you already? Just eight months into Trump's presidency?
How are you ever going to survive another three years of idiocy and corruption?
 
That shoe was clearly a serial killer in a past life and is paying for it now.
If that's the case, what the ever loving eff did the socks do in a past life to deserve their fate??
 
This guy is dumb as shit.
How did the Dems lose to this clown?
Have you been following the collapse of the Dems party since the debacle of 2024? They are leaderless and without a plan other than to keep attacking Trump. That's what they did during 2024 and still lost to him.

If he is dumb as shit, then that means practically anyone in this country can be president. Why aren't there more dumb shit people campaigning to be president in 2028?

Wow, you really went to some lengths to divert attention from the fact you cannot name one reason to justify the name change of the Department of Defense.

The only reason you have stated thus far, is "because he can"

You knew the answer to that question before you asked it.

They have. The consume nothing but 'shoots. MAGA! (Mushrooms Are Genitalia Again).
 
Liberals have proved daily since 2015 they can't find their arse with both hands blindfolded. Trump has long since mastered his dominance over liberals who continue to be unable to stop him. Libruls are self consumed in their pipe dreams and fantasies of the future because their past against Trump is dismal, their present is conquered and subjugated -- and their future dark. While MAGAs are writing their narrative history into the future all the libruls can do is to enjoy their delusional fantasies about happily ever after.
I’ll just say that the world continues to turn, nothing lasts forever, and past performance does not guarantee future results.

My life didn’t magically begin in 2015, and I don’t wallow in darkness and doom each and every day about Trump while I’m drinking my coffee. I have a life to live. And as long as Congress and the Supreme Court are ignoring their oaths and running interference for Trump, there’s not a whole hell of a lot that I can do about it. But dashing all hope for the future and coming off as a defeatist isn’t in my blood, either.

I like to use movie quotes on occasion, and one certainly comes to mind here. Andy Dufresne said, “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”
 
You knew the answer to that question before you asked it.
It was you who declared Trump to be a 'dumb shit'.
It would naturally follow that anyone who is 'dumb shit' could be president.
You suggested you don't need to be smart to lead the most powerful country in the world.

You are the one dwelling on the costs of a name change.
I am simply pointing the last Administration laid out tens of billions in taxpayer money to feed and house illegal aliens in sanctuary cities.
Money is money.
The mountain of money I pointed out is a helluva lot more than the costs of a name change. Tell us again, why is that important to you?

Taco IS a dumb shit. You trying to suggest he must be smart because he's POTUS is laughable.

And you know exactly why your average dumb shit can't be POTUS, the same reason why your average American of any intelligence can't be POTUS.
 

U.S. President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order on Friday to rename the Department of Defense the "Department of War," a White House official said on Thursday.

The order would authorize Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Defense Department, and subordinate officials to use secondary titles such as "Secretary of War," "Department of War," and "Deputy Secretary of War" in official correspondence, public communications, according to a White House fact sheet.

The move, which would put Trump's stamp on the government's biggest organization and likely cost hundreds of millions of dollars, would instruct Hegseth to recommend legislative and executive actions required to make the renaming permanent....

The U.S. Department of Defense was called the War Department until 1949, when Congress consolidated the Army, Navy and Air Force in the wake of World War Two. The name was chosen in part to signal that in the nuclear age, the U.S. was focused on preventing wars, according to historians.

Changing the name again will be costly and require updating signs and letterheads used not only by officials at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., but also military installations around the world....

Department name changes are rare, and require congressional approval, but Trump's fellow Republicans hold slim majorities in both the Senate and House of Representatives, and the party's congressional leaders have shown little appetite for opposing any of Trump's initiatives.,,,
Is this something that can be done through EO? Might be, I'm just not sure how we officially change names of departments. Considering what can be done through EO can be undone through EO, it probably should take something a bit more stable, like an act of Congress.
 
Is the country failing you already? Just eight months into Trump's presidency?
How are you ever going to survive another three years of idiocy and corruption?
Taco is failing the country. His administration is incompetent and corrupt. Taco is there to grift, not to serve.

We'll find out in three years whether the nation survives Trumpism. It looks pretty bleak for the GOP.
