Trump to sign order renaming Pentagon to ‘Department of War’​


President Donald Trump will rename the Department of Defense to the "Department of War," the Washington Examiner confirmed.

Trump will sign an executive order renaming the Pentagon on Friday, restoring the department's name from the 18th century.

The executive order will also grant Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth the title of "secretary of war."

It's time for the 25th Amendment.

Jesus...why can't people stop lying?

The "Pentagon" is not being renamed.

Too bad the 25th Amendment doesn't apply to the media.

Got anything to say about what trump is doing....wasting taxpayers' monies on a name change of an Executive Branch Department?
 
Good news; Traitor Trump doesn’t have the authority to rename the Department of Defense.

Only Congress has that authority.

Bad news; the MAGAt majority House and Senate will certainly bow to Traitor Trump’s demand and go forward with the renaming, which will be just another waste of taxpayers dollars.

Future good and bad news; Dems, once they regain control of the federal government will almost certainly change the name back to Department of Defense (), but at additional cost of taxpayers dollars ().

Bottomline; A bunch of wasted money just to make the fat orange shit stain feel like a tough guy.

Btw, the Washington Examiner article has the headline with the word "Pentagon". No one is "lying". Perhaps it was an attempt to keep the title a tad shorter or to avoid a title with the same word ("Department") used twice. Or it could be the title writer made a mistake.

I'm no fan of the Washington Examiner, but I don't think it "lied".

“The Pentagon” is often used as a term for the Department of Defense. The headline fits.
 
BINGO!

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

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, a move that would put Trump's stamp on the government's biggest organization.

...Hegseth has said that changing the name is "not just about words — it's about the warrior ethos."...

"We're just going to do it. I'm sure Congress will go along if we need that ... Defense is too defensive. We want to be defensive, but we want to be offensive too if we have to be," Trump said last month....
 
Can't we just give him his very own Trump War Department
and set it up with Pete Hegseth as Marge and Donny as Maggie?

 
So Trump is planning for war then. Why else the name change?
 
I don't see the problem. Does anyone disagree that department of war is more honest?
 
This is as important as the nonsense renaming the Gulf of Mexico.

Fits with hanging gigantic posters of dear Leader’s face all over the place AND military parades.

The old man enjoys playing war with his bang bang toys.

I find both Trump and Hegseth to be quite offensive.

Maybe, maybe not. But POTUS doesn't actually have the power to do this.
 
The problem with this is that Trump and his bleach drinkers don't understand the history behind the Defense Department.

We did not rename the "Department of War" to the "Department of Defense". We combined the Department of War with the Department of the Navy to create a unified Department, as we found during World War II that two separate agencies frequently struggled to coordinate their efforts. The Department of War became the Department of the Army and the Department of the Air Force (which spun off the Army).

The current Department of Defense is comprised of three departments. The Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy (Which includes the Marine Corps), and the Department of the Air Force (which includes the Space Force)
 
Why not repair relations with our neighbor by calling it the Department of the Gulf of Mexico?
