“It’s a much more appropriate name, especially in light of where the world is right now,” Trump said, after claiming the previous name was “woke.”
Maybe, but the decision to adopt a frankly more aggressive name for the department comes at a time when Trump has thirstily been lobbying for the Nobel Peace Prize since his first term in office.
Many people on social media noted the contrast between the war-centric rebranding of the Defense Department and Trump’s insistence on still being known as the ultimate “peacemaker.”
Others pointed out that the DOD name change comes at the behest of someone who avoided military service.
But one person was OK with the new name, provided other government agencies also get rebranded.
