Oh

Is Trump Renaming Department of Defense To Department Of War Legal? What To Know.

The White House will install the Department of War as a “secondary name” to get around Trump’s inability to actually rename the agency.

Because of that, it would take another act of Congress to formally change the name back to the Department of War, and Trump cannot do it unilaterally on his own through an executive order.

Despite Trump’s planned order on Friday, that means the name change won’t actually be official, with the White House saying in a fact sheet that they intend to make the Department of War name a “secondary title” for the agency.

So the answer is Trump doesn't actually have this power and it would require Congress to officially change the name of the Department of Defense.

What the **** has he got up his ass that makes him want to change this name anyway? What a ****ing child.

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.

Department of Defense is a legal status, under US Law.

5 U.S. Code § 101 - Executive departments​

10 U.S. Code Subtitle A Chapter 2 Part I - DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

"War Department" is not a legal designation.

What the **** has he got up his ass that makes him want to change this name anyway? What a ****ing child.

Deep seated personal insecurity.

Same reason he loves dictators and big boy birthday parades.

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.

It looks pretty bleak for all of us.

It looks pretty bleak for all of us.

What I meant by that is that I think the GOP is too far gone at this point. The nation might still emerge from the Trumpist shitstorm.

Trump to rename Department of Defense the 'Department of War,' official says

The move would put Trump's stamp on the government's biggest organization.

www.reuters.com

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.,,,

This will lower food prices!

And Kamala Harris as the alternative.

Right, a mildly successful prosecutor with no drama, bankruptcies or criminal indictments VS a convicted felon who's businesses were convicted on multiple counts of criminal tax fraud, agreed that his daughter is "a piece of ass" and paid someone to take his college SATS.
Real tough choice there.

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.” 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.

"Hope" is passive, it is docile, it is weak, feeble and impotent. Vacuous. It's the liberals side door facile exit each time.

Trump and MAGAs are aggressive, hellbent, relentless and unrelenting; Trump and MAGAs have tunnel vision purposes and nefarious goals.

Which helps to know why since Putin-Trump crashed into American politics and culture in 2015 they have time and again devoured and shat out the liberals and progressives.

Indeed, the dainty libruls do scold but only when they are told to bring a knife to a MAGA knife fight "We must not become like them" the libs pronounce from on high. Which means only one thing and one thing only, that and by default the liberals and progressives will be ruled by "them."

Many libs are "making peace" with this surrender already. The trouble down the Trump-MAGA road is that there is no "peace' there either for their "evil enemy" the libs-progressives-leftists. The trains will run on time to the ports of exit to shithole countries happy to receive bedraggled Americans.

 

[Parker_Chess]

This is stupidity. It's been the Department of Defense for over 50 years. Not worth the cost of changing the name. Also "war" instead of "defense" gives the impression that our military is to be used with hawkish intentions.

The Gulf of Mexico just called on line one to remind everyone that this isn’t the first time nor will it be the last time that Trump does colossally stupid crap like this because he’s an idiot.

Well, I’m sorry that I just don’t have all the power and answers that you apparently expect here.

Trump and MAGAs are aggressive, hellbent, relentless and unrelenting; Trump and MAGAs have tunnel vision purposes and nefarious goals.

So what? They’re also despicable, racist, hypocritical, intellectually bankrupt, power hungry, and just downright wrong people who will be righteously vilified when history is written.

Which helps to know why since Putin-Trump crashed into American politics and culture in 2015 they have time and again devoured and shat out the liberals and progressives.

I guess the 2020 election didn’t happen in your world, did it?

Whatever. I don’t know why you’re pontificating to me about what you think, because I couldn’t care less about any of your drama here. I will say that your post shows that you seriously need to get outside or come up for air. Good grief…

This is the kind of thing the old Cold War tinhorn African dictators would do.

I posted to you already MAGAs are writing the rest of USA history and that the libruls are not included except as the bad guys.

As to 2020 you missed the reality that Biden being elected didn't stop Trump and MAGAs who doubled down during Biden's four lost years.

Your posts don't get the upshot of my posts that most of you libs are terminally oblivious. I have no doubt you're even looking forward to your vote being counted in '26. NOT.

You're not alone in wishing for the collapse of the country.

Chicken Little is right there with you.

All we need is the revival of the Democrat party to lead the country out of the wilderness, right?

 

[jaypatriot]

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.

So, it Trump the smartest dumb shit you have ever seen.

Post exactly where I wished for the collapse of the country, or concede your post is Trumplicking bullshit.

I thought your responses were just a lame attempt at being stupidly coy, but I guess it's genuine ignorance.

So, it Trump the smartest dumb shit you have ever seen.

“It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.” - Catch-22

So what? What makes you think that I care about your opinions? If you want your posts to be taken seriously, perhaps refrain from using ignorant slang like “libruls.” It screams of the standard MAGA illiteracy. Otherwise, I’m just sitting here laughing.

As to 2020 you missed the reality that Biden being elected didn't stop Trump and MAGAs who doubled down during Biden's four lost years.

More laughter from me. Perhaps you didn’t have a life during Biden’s term, but I sure did.

Your posts don't get the upshot of my posts that most of you libs are terminally oblivious. I have no doubt you're even looking forward to your vote being counted in '26. NOT.

There is no upshot to any of your foolish, delusional posts. They amount to just a comical, boring MAGA crusade that doesn’t matter. And my vote is every bit as valid as yours is, unless you think your orange dictator is going to try to hijack the elections like the Putin bootlicker that he is.

Not everything. Just you. And others.

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 !!!!!
