Trump suggests he's changing the name the US Department of Defence to the US Department of War: "It just sounds better... Defence? I don't want to be defence only... We want offence too. As Department of War, we won everything. And I think we're going to have to go back to that."
I've heard better arguments from drunks in Wetherspoons. I tell a lie. I wouldn't listen to drunks in Wetherspoons. I'd avoid Wetherspoons like the plague. NO we Brits are not talking the USA down its leaders are talking it down. You need to stop these idiots ... and the comparable ones in the UK.
Works in 1984-speak, no notes. You see, everything Trump does serves Russia up to and including the people he appoints to things, like a drunk TV host. So this is acknowledgement that we have a Ministry of Defeat. And no, 'we' don't want offense, that's for the likes of Putin, as shown.
Fuck trump
Just call it The Commission.
This knuckle head want the peace prize. lol
How about putting Donnie’s stamp on it and calling it Department of Bone Spurs?
He also wants offense, and he’s still demanding the Nobel prize in Peace… If he was born more stupid, he would be a carrot.🥕
Even Russia calls their's the Ministry of Defence. 🤷♀️
its a lie for them as well for once trump is exposing the truth
He's offensive, that's for sure. Utterly disgusting.
He is a f****** madman!
🤦🏼♀️
Let's play a game: anyone know why Trump is so obsessed with getting a Nobel Peace Price? There's only one right answer...
Thanks for this reporting! I made a video about what motivates these types of name changes! In this case, I think it’s priority setting and the reflection of a zero-sum worldview. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BuJS8M/
lmao he’s hiding his hands
Is there a tele-prompter next to him? What is the glow on the hands of the man on the left of the screen?
"They won't give me a peace prize, so now they all die." This seems totally normal.
Trump really wants it to be US Department of Kick-Ass.
"It just sounds better" to a demented psychopath.
FUCKING HELL
GROUCHO: Just for that, you don't get the job I was going to give you CHICO: What job? GROUCHO: Secretary of War CHICO: Alright, I take it! GROUCHO: Sold! clip.cafe/duck-soup-19...
We officially have the Duck Soup administration
Shit, I agree with the fuckhead about this. "Defense" was a whitewash from the start. Changing it back changes the conversation: "what do we spend on war" ringing differently from "what do we spend on defense." Let him have this one.
indeed - repliers saying ' this signals a future more aggressive foreign policy ' are liars
No
🥲
This is all master plans of Curtis Yarvin and Peter Thiel, Musk, upturning world order for the very rich. These sinister moves, destruction of all norms, erasing history, gas lighting race wars, its all plans they’ve had for a very long time. They helped trump win so he could be their senile puppet
He is so, so, mind numbingly stupid
I thought it was parody, at first. Even the Nazis called their armed forces Wehrmacht.
What a fucking idiot
I'm old enough to remember how Biden's mental heath was in doubt by way less than this.
Trump is obsessed with words and it's not normal
What war does the president want to start?
The war against the US constitution.
The one against the people of the US.
Mike Judge didn't write this
Pretty sure it will wind up in a future episode. 👍🏼
His bulliness is showing. He doesn't want defense only. He does want war only.
The President of peace 😏
MAGA and independents including many Latino and white voters, especially the Gen Z’ ers. You are the biggest suckers on the planet
Let's nominate him for the Nobel Defence Prize.
Haven’t heard from Joe Biden lately, but I’m certain he’s 100 times as coherent as this mound of shit.
“And come to think of it, I’m going to rename DHS the Department of Atrocities.”
And we will also change the name of the White House to the Whiter House.
Isn't this what Dennis Kucinich suggested 20 years ago? Brilliant. It's honest.
To his credit, Kucinich would have renamed the State Department the Peace Department. And therefore we would have Secretaries of War and Peace.
for anyone who doesn’t understand what ‘toxic masculinity’ means.
This is all nuts. Just nuts 🥜. Wow
Can he even do that? Wouldn’t it need an act of Congress?
Dementia is undeniable - yet those idiot sycophants just continue to indulge him. Every day a new humiliation.
Who is saying "it's common sense, sir"?
No one around him. That’s what keeps me up at night. He’s surrounded himself with people who will never say that to him, because he is a fool
Just giving him truthful bad news gets you sacked by him so if they want a pay cheque they have to lie like him.
Under DC MR 3.1, any lawyer signing such a lawsuit shall be fired into the sun.
A question, usa today ist a democracy?
This will surely win him the Nobel Peace Prize.
YOU WIN THE INTERNET FOR TODAY MY FRIEND. BRAVO.
Is there a Nobel Prize for Best Deal Closing a Civil Wars?
The Sherman Prize?
Not a fat chance in hell. Norway hates the Orange Taco golfer. Regards, Norwegian.
Under the Department of War, the White House was torched. So, um, yeah, Department of War sounds good
Although, one wonders where we would be today if the originally proposed name, Department of War, What is it Good For, had been used?
Yet another really stupid idea !
When was the last war America won? Can anyone actually tell me? We lost Vietnam, Korea, every Middle East war, hell I'm convinced the Taliban control the nation right now what with the weird idiots in power trying to force adherence to middle eastern religion on us through fear and violence.
The US renamed the "Department of War" to "Department of Defence" in 1947 to distance itself from the language of aggression, reflecting the post-WW2 global shift away from imperialism. Trump’s intention to return to “War” is a disturbing signal on future US military and foreign policy.
“Department of War” is a much more honest title. Trump saying the quiet part out loud, as he so often does.
Defense in US
@adamjschwarz.bsky.social although the US foreign policy has not been noticeably less imperialist in the intervening years.
And domestic policy.
@adamjschwarz.bsky.social I suppose it's honest - yes imperialists, we know. No doubt "war ready", wannabee global player, #Starmer will consider doing the same. #warmongers
Foreign Policy? First up, the Department of War is going to go after Blue States, starting with California.
I mean, he's a bigger fan of the Nazis than he ever was of America.
Not really ' future ' policy the USA has been an aggressor for decades.
Don't worry, calling it the Department of War is only a stepping stone to Trump renaming it the "Wehrmacht".
Last week he told Zelensky he was going to go to war to suspend elections so he can stay in power. Everyone laughed
“Shift away from imperialism” We did no such thing.
Right! Peace president!???
All hat no cattle! He is pond scum!
This senile madman and his entire corrupt administration need to be removed. Today.
