Donald Trump, re-elected as President of the United States, is making bold, unexpected decisions. Trump is pushing to maintain America’s dominance and has imposed higher tariffs on several countries. These tariff increases have led to an unexpected surge in revenue, reportedly exceeding one trillion dollars.
In his latest move, Trump has decided to rename the “Department of Defense” to the “Department of War.” Reports suggest that Trump will sign an Executive Order in the coming hours to allow this change. The department will still formally use the title “Department of Defense,” but “Department of War” will serve as a secondary title.
As part of the rebranding, the Pentagon’s Public Affairs Bulletin Room will become the “Pentagon War Annex.” Additionally, official documents will start using titles like “Secretary of War.” While an Executive Order cannot legally change the department’s official name, Trump sees this as a way to boost military pride and renew America’s warrior ethos.
This decision also draws on the history of America’s victories under the former “War Department.” Trump hopes to rekindle the same sense of enthusiasm and military pride in today’s forces.
