Dummkopf Trumpf's imbecilic ukase to change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War could cost as much as two billion dollars. The name change, which must be approved by Congress, would require replacing thousands of signs, placards, letterheads and badges, as well as any other items at US military sites around the world that feature the Department of Defense name. New department letterhead and signage alone could cost about $1 bn. One of the biggest costs would be rewriting digital code for all of the department's internal and external facing websites, as well as other computer software on classified and unclassified systems. The government could decide not to make every change to the Department of Defense branding, which could bring down the cost.

Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell bleated a final cost estimate for changing the name has not been set: "The Department of War is aggressively implementing the name change directed by Dummkopf Trumpf, and is making the name permanent." The sinister Trumpf junta has not made any formal attempt to push legislation through Congress, which would have to fund the cost of the name change. Some Republican lawmakers have privately griped that this idiotic idea is vanity project. The cost estimate for renaming the Pentagon comes as Trumpf has promised to cut back on federal spending. He's signed off on steep cuts to government agencies since taking office. USSECDEF Pete Hegseth, the most underqualified individual to lead the defense department of any country on the planet, specifically plans to cut thousands of Pentagon military and civilian personnel as part of his effort to reshape the department's budget to focus on what he dubs "lethality" and a "warrior ethos." The nefarious Trumpf junta dismantled USAID and wasted millions and millions of dollars of food and medicine that could have gone to hungry Americans or vulnerable people in the Third World. Trumpf and Hegseth wasted valuable military resources attacking the starving Houthis in Yemen on behalf of Israel earlier this year. This ludicrous vanity project is a disgraceful waste of American taxpayer funds and the junta is behaving as if an opposition party will never come to power again in the US.
