Trump Proposes Renaming Department of Defense to Department of War, Insists It’s the “Peace-iest Move Ever”

Washington, D.C. — In a press conference that began with a pledge to “restore common sense” and ended with a rambling critique of pigeons outside the White House, President Donald J. Trump explained why he wants to rename the Department of Defense the Department of War.

“I’ve always said it—peace through strength,” Trump declared, gesturing to a chart that featured clip art of eagles, tanks, and a suspiciously buff Jesus flexing his biceps. “And nothing says peace like the word war. Everybody knows it. It’s the strongest word, much stronger than ‘defense,’ which frankly sounds like something you do with a tennis racket. Sad.”

A reporter dared to interrupt the president’s flow, asking, “Sir, if you call yourself the peace president, why not rename it the Department of Peace? Wouldn’t that actually send a stronger message of peace through strength?”

Trump smirked, leaned into the microphone, and replied: “Department of Peace? That sounds like yoga class. Very weak. Namaste is not going to stop China, believe me. The Department of War is powerful, manly, very macho. It’s like Rambo—but with paperwork. Everyone respects it. Everyone fears it. And when they fear you, you get peace. It’s 12-dimensional chess. Nobody understands it except me.”

He added, “The Department of Peace would be the most badass name, sure—but only while I was in charge. Otherwise, the hippies will take over and next thing you know we’re handing out kale smoothies to terrorists. I like kale, but only when it’s fried. Very underrated when fried.”

When pressed further about his self-proclaimed title as the “peace president,” Trump doubled down:
“I gave the world so much peace—North Korea didn’t nuke us, Russia was nice to me, and NATO begged for my autograph. Nobody has ever done more for peace. I solved 15 to 20 wars in 8 months. So if I call it the Department of War, it’s like reverse psychology. The media doesn’t get it, but the people do. The best people.”

At the conclusion of the press conference, Trump floated a few alternative names:

  • The Department of Winning Very Bigly

  • The Department of Peace, But With Guns

  • The Department of Trump (“Because I bring peace just by existing, folks”)

Critics pointed out that renaming the Department of Defense isn’t exactly a top priority in a world facing inflation, climate disasters, and global instability. But Trump dismissed these concerns, insisting, “Names are everything. Branding is everything. America will finally have the strongest brand in history—WAR™. It’s going to sell so many hats.”

Trump Says Ukraine War Caused by Stolen 2020 Election; Ends Conflict Instantly with Confidence

At a joint press conference this week with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy , U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a sweeping new theory of international relations, asserting that the Russian invasion of Ukraine would never have occurred if the 2020 U.S. presidential election had not been “stolen from him personally.” “This war,” Trump said, gesturing broadly toward Eastern Europe, “is really about me. Everybody knows it. If I were president, this would not have happened. Putin would have been too scared. Tremendously scared.” Standing beside him, Zelensky maintained a diplomatic expression usually reserved for situations involving translation errors or mild food poisoning. Trump continued, explaining that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was not the result of decades of post-Cold War tension, NATO expansion debates, or Russian imperial ambition, but rather a direct consequence of Trump not being in the White House at the time. “Putin respects strength,” Trump said. “And by streng...

Trump’s Prime-Time Address Assures Americans the Economy Is Perfect—Suggests They’re Just Too Stupid to Notice

In an unexpected return to prime-time television, President Donald J. Trump delivered a 28-minute national address Wednesday night designed, according to his staff, to “clear up confusion about the economy.” The resulting speech instead raised questions about whether he had accidentally wandered onto the soundstage during a pharmaceutical infomercial. “Ladies and gentlemen, the American economy is the strongest, the bigliest, the most incredible it has ever been,” Trump announced, gripping the lectern as if it had personally wronged him. “If you can’t see that, well… maybe you’re just not very smart. Not everyone can be smart. I’m very smart. But most of you, frankly? Not so much.” Economic experts, who had spent the previous week offering cautious optimism mixed with concern about rising costs, were surprised to learn that the entire issue was simply a matter of insufficient national intelligence. “Normally we talk about inflation, interest rates, employment trends,” said economist Da...

Nation Excited to Experience All the Thrill of Getting a Passport — Every Two Years — Just to Vote

WASHINGTON — In a stunning development for lovers of paperwork everywhere, lawmakers have unveiled the SAFE Act, a bold new initiative promising to bring the full sensory experience of passport acquisition directly to your local election cycle. Supporters say the bill will ensure “secure, confident elections,” while critics have pointed out it also ensures that Americans can relive the magic of government-issued identity documentation roughly as often as they replace their toothbrush. Democracy, Now With Waiting Rooms Under the proposal, voters would present newly verified identification documentation — potentially requiring updated proof of citizenship — before casting a ballot. “People love passports,” said one enthusiastic policy backer. “The lines. The forms. The gentle existential dread while wondering if your birth certificate has the right font. Why should international travel have all the fun?” Experts estimate the average American could now enjoy: Searching for their origina...
