President Trump just sent a crystal clear message to America’s enemies around the world. On Friday, he signed an executive order to rename the Department of Defense back to its original name: the Department of War. This bold move shows that America is done playing defense and ready to go on offense against our enemies.
The name change isn’t just symbolic – it’s a complete shift in how America thinks about protecting our homeland. For too long, weak politicians have let drug cartels and foreign enemies walk all over us. Trump is making it clear that those days are over and America means business again.
Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson explained that this change puts cartels and hostile regimes like Venezuela on notice. The Department of War existed from 1789 to 1947, back when America wasn’t afraid to call things what they are. We’re a fighting force, not a defensive one hiding behind fancy words.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been pushing for this change for months, and he’s absolutely right. Our military exists to win wars, not to engage in endless defense missions that drain our resources. When you call something what it really is, people take you seriously.
The timing couldn’t be better as America faces serious threats from China’s growing influence and deadly drugs pouring across our southern border. Previous administrations sat back and did nothing while cartels poisoned American families with fentanyl. Trump is taking the gloves off and fighting back.
Carl Higbie, the former Navy SEAL who hosts Frontline on Newsmax, perfectly captured what this means for America. Trump is letting every enemy know that we’re not the weak, apologetic nation they’ve grown used to. We’re back to being the powerhouse that commands respect through strength.
Congress needs to pass the legislation that Republicans introduced on Friday to make this official. Senators Rick Scott and Mike Lee are leading the charge, along with Representative Greg Steube. They understand that America’s military should have a name that reflects its true mission.
This is exactly the kind of bold leadership that real Americans voted for when they elected Trump. No more weak-kneed diplomacy or defensive posturing while our enemies plot against us. The Department of War sends one simple message: Don’t mess with the United States of America.
