So earlier today, Donald Trump signed an executive order renaming the Department of Defense back to the World War II-era Department of War. According to Fox News (yes, I'm quoting that Republican propaganda mouthpiece), the 5-time draft-dodging pedophile made the change because it sent "a message of victory, a message of strength" to the world.
Overlooking the fact that Trump showed just how weak he was when he met up with Russian dictator Vladmir Putin on U.S. soil last month to make a deal to end the Ukraine war (Trump unsurprisingly came away from the meeting empty-handed), this is just another stupid act by the convicted felon to distract the American people from his incompetence as president and his presence in the Epstein files. Also, this is another diversion from today's jobs report that announced only 22,000 jobs were added last month—with the unemployment rate in the U.S. increasing to 4.3%.
(Oh, and the U.S. now has more unemployed people than job openings for the first time since April 2021. In July, the U.S. had 7.18 million job openings, with 7.24 million unemployed individuals. Trump is bringing America back to a pandemic-era economy.)
The fact that Trump, the supposed anti-war candidate according to right-wing folks during the 2024 election season, would rebrand the Pentagon as a warmongering apparatus of the U.S. government makes it even more stupid that he tried to win a Nobel Peace Prize. Combine the Department of War with Trump illegally bombing Iran, illegally sending military troops to American cities like Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and possibly Chicago, and murdering 11 people on a Venezuelan boat in international waters in the Caribbean (an act of war, apparently), and Trump is just showing that he wants to enhance a fraudulent political legacy in American history that he absolutely does not deserve.
And of course, you have MAGA halfwits like Pete Hegseth enabling his sex-offending boss by sharing the tweet above. According to the Fox News article mentioned at the start of this Blog entry, this is Trump's 200th executive order. In other words, the next Democratic president will have at least 200 items to overturn—via executive orders—on Inauguration Day less than four years from now.
Have a nice weekend.
UPDATE (11:15 PM, PDT): For some stupid reason the Fox News article won't open if you click on the link at the start of this Blog entry. Look up "Department of War" on Google and you'll be able to visit the article there. Screw you, Rupert Murdoch's former company.
REMINDER: The unemployment rate was at or under 4% for 30 consecutive months under President Biden.

He averaged 343,750 jobs/month while in office.
By comparison, trump added an anemic 70,833 jobs per month from January to August 2025, and unemployment rose from 4% to 4.3%.
