President Trump faced withering bipartisan criticism in his first term for a similar idea that would have mixed foreign diplomacy with his personal business interests.
As he signed an order recognizing the Defense Department as the “Department of War,” President Trump said that the country “could have won every war, but we really chose to be very politically correct.”
“The Department of War sends a signal,” President Trump said on Friday. The change, he added, was a “much more appropriate name, especially in light of where the world is right now.”
