CNN is crying crocodile tears over President Trump’s brilliant rebranding of the Pentagon to the Department of War, claiming it will cost a whopping $125 million. Give me a break! This is the same fake news media that never blinked an eye at the billions wasted by the Biden regime on failed green energy scams and open border fiascos. Now, suddenly, they are concerned about the budget? It’s pure hypocrisy and a desperate attempt to undermine President Trump’s America First agenda.
According to a report from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), a non-partisan entity that the Democrats love to quote only when it suits them, the cost to update signage and letterheads could range from $10 million to $125 million. The CBO noted that the Department of Defense (now the Department of War) declined to provide detailed plans, probably because they are busy focusing on lethality and strength rather than bureaucratic nonsense. The CBO even admitted that the estimate is “uncertain,” which is code for “we’re just making up numbers to help the Democrats.”
The CNN article whines that if Congress gets involved to make the name change statutory, the cost could skyrocket to “hundreds of millions.” But let’s be real—this is a necessary expense. The Department of War sends a strong, clear message to our enemies that we are done playing games. Secretary Pete Hegseth is leading the charge to restore the military’s focus on fitness, appearance, and lethality, while rolling back the divisive and un-American DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) measures pushed by the radical left. The leftists are terrified that our military will actually prioritize winning wars over sensitivity training.
The CBO report highlighted that costs would go toward updating signs, letterheads, and the DOD website, which has already been updated. They complained that replacing items immediately instead of waiting for them to deplete would drive up costs. But President Trump isn’t about waiting—he acts decisively. The report even revealed that five organizations within the Office of the Secretary of Defense spent $1.9 million in just 30 days on flags, plaques, and badges. That’s a small price to pay for a military that respects its heritage and projects power.
President Trump’s executive order authorizes the use of secondary titles like “Secretary of War” and “Department of War.” While some beltway insiders say he needs Congress to make it permanent, President Trump rightly noted, “I don’t know, but we’re going to find out, but I’m not sure they have to.” He understands that true strength comes from the Executive Branch’s will to defend this nation, not from bureaucratic red tape. Historically, President George Washington founded the Army as the Department of War, a name we proudly reclaimed. We are taking back our history from the revisionists.
Ultimately, this “controversy” is just another manufactured crisis by CNN and the Democrats to distract from President Trump’s overwhelming success. They are obsessed with the “machinations of America’s enemies” when the real enemy is right here in the media. Don’t let the fake news fool you—the Department of War is a win for patriotism, and the American people see right through the left’s desperate attempt to bog down this administration with petty cost estimates. MAGA!
