Is it bad that my thought was "well at least that's more accurate"?
My mind went to how "the department of defense" was Orwellian AF. I mean his reasoning is fucked don't get me wrong.
It was the "War Department" from 1789 to 1947.
And also the Department of the Navy was its own thing for a while, as was the Department of the Army, then Air Force, before getting folded into the War Department. Harry Truman dissolved the War Department in 1947 because 1) WWII was over and so the US was not in a declared war anymore, and 2) there was a larger consolidation of war powers under the SecDef post-war.
If anything, name it the Department of Violence and Death and see how people react.
I absolutely agree with you and surprisingly, Trump on this.
Broken clock and all.
You can tell he's never read 1984, he'd definitely want more ironically named government departments if he had
I mean, "Truth Social" has all the irony of the Ministry of Truth, though I assume if it was named for that reason it wasn't thought up by him.
Yeah, in this rare instance, I agree with Uncle Donny. The US hasnt fought a war for peace or defense in over 75 years. Might as well change the name to more accurately depict its purpose. He is still a moron though....
If he's the moron, what do you call the 77 million who voted for him. Twice.
Cultists.
Even WW2 wasn't a war of defence for the USA. The only thing they "defended" was a military outpost in the middle of the pacific.
Well, technicallly it's defense of private interests...
