Trump to Sign Order Renaming the Defense Department as the Department of War

I suppose we're also in need of a Department of the Navy as well, based on your excerpt, but again, Constitutional words don't often have the semantics one might think.

But beyond all that, it's great that we've President Trump to make these hard decisions for us. No president in my lifetime (first voted in 1980 presidential election) would have made the right decision here, not even President Reagan. There would have been hearings, tense meetings with authority figure like the Speaker of the House and various billionaires, and the press would not have let go of it. It would have dominated news cycles for weeks. Can you imagine the punditry if G.W. Bush had done this? But Trump makes the right decision, billionaires are happy, pundits are happy, we just see non-biased, factual reporting. I hope that Trump's successor is equally correct in all these decisions. I don't want to return to the squabbling of the past.

Honestly tired of this being used as some sort of exculpatory instant win. There are a handful of very good reasons this would not have happened. We won't know until he does the things his proxies promised.

And obviously covering for his allies is pretty terrible on its own.
