The United States Department of Defense is a massive organization, with millions of personnel and thousands of facilities.
Do you realize how expensive it is to rebrand something that big? It means new signs, IDs, stationary, etc.
On top of everything else, it’d be unprecedentedly huge govt waste.
I saw one estimate that it would be a billion to change it
So where's DOGE?
The waste in government is the entire GOP.
Also it's actually double that because the next non-trump president is going to reverse the whole thing
Somebody ought to alert DOGE.
Yet DIC did it, DIC Dummy in Charge. He wastes taxpayer money with no regard. Its because he owns the Judges, The Senate. The House. They are all wearing couture knee pads. and LV Lipstick. I have never seen so many people afraid of a CLOWN. May God have Mercy on the US.
I wonder how much the contractors Trump chooses to furnish all of that will be paid by us.
All that, and my trigger was "embossed cocktail napkins"
We are so lost
It isn't government waste, unless money is spent to benefit the American people. This helps no one, and therefore IS NOT waste. Now, if it were to be spent on SNAP benefits, education, Child care, reparations for slavery, or anything else that might help a poor person, then THAT would be Gov. waste
The waste and fraud here is huge. It was a law voted on by Congress and can't be changed by executive order.
It's worth it though if you need it to start a war so the elections can be discontinued.
Another massive waste of money just to make him feel more masculine.
who - exactly - will end this, how and when?
Yet, healthcare, children’s programs no money!
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
And can’t be done without an act of Congress ‼️ Another diversion ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Department of W.illfully A.gressive R.egime #DofW #Resist
R’s don’t care about spending/wasting taxpayer dollars if it’s 2 build more weapons/prisons, fund ICE, militarize police or refurbish a “gifted” jet given 2 Trump by a “friendly nation.” They’re only against money spent 2 help citizens, enlisted forces/veterans, little kids, the elderly & poor.
So next time Democrats take the stage and start telling us about universal healthcare and other things we’ll never get, maybe we should ask them how they plan to actually fight for us…?
It's my understanding that he can't change name legally without Congress approval.
#2weakdon is not capable of renaming the DoD. It will take up his time and earn him a new label #1yeardon The "real employment" will be out in a year. #2dolldon #$weakdon #1yeardon
Promise you there are Pedo In Chief donors benefitting all along the line.
Over a Billion Dollars!! Hegseth already changed the sign on his door to Secretary of War. They're itching for war. Again, where's Congress...they're supposed to approve this. We know the Republicans likely will...but let's get the vote. Let their constituents know.
Correct me if I’m wrong here but Trump doesn’t have the authority to change the name of a department created by Congress. Is this just another example of ‘obeying in advance’?
It will cost billions 💰 He doesn’t care.
Changing DOD to DOW. We already have one of those. Imagine the confusion. If in the end there is a difference.
It's one of the world's largest organizations! Estimates are that it will COST OVER ONE BILLION DOLLARS TO MAKE THE CHANGE! So much for government waste and efficiency!
WASTE.FRAUD.ABUSE.
That's the point. The grift. The kickbacks. The over inflated costs.
Think of the Alligator concentration camp that cost over $400 million for some tents and fencing "to build" - someone walked away with a fortune and we should know who
We need forensic accountants
It’s totally pointless as well but on brand for an organization led by an incompetent drunk/bro who thinks it’s all a game.
I thought Dictator Don was getting rid of waste?
A more appropriate name is the Department of Waste.
🤔 Huge government waste…where is Elon Musk when he’s needed?
They don’t care about the money.
FOR NO REAL REASON….
Except to DEFLECT FROM EPSTEIN
The administration of WASTEFUL SPENDING
He could not care less. 🤬
It would make the orange guy happy so….. spare no expense…. While lots of folks struggle and support systems get cut… the republicans aren’t interested ok with wasting money on shit to satisfy his huge ego….
Good point. Most concerning to me is that the mission is now war.
It would be like if McDonalds rebranded. And just as stupid.
Also, add this to the list of things that the Trumpism clean up crew is going to have to deal with
Finally abandoning all pretense of defending this country
Government waste of that magnitude is extremely precedented
Agreed. And if we had a congress with a spine who cared about the country more than protecting the pedophile in chief they would block it.
The ordinary American will pay with his taxes, social security, Health care, Food stamps and the destroying of school and Education. Everything for one man with tiny hands.
They waste what they can't steal.
17 million people PLUS without healthcare. Their priority is signage?
NOBODY should call it DOW.
He also has no authority to rename it unilaterally.
on the other hand it IS the DOD, so what's another billion or two?
All because of small “hands…” 😏🤬
since it’s only an EO that expires when a dem is Prez, can the Pentagon find a workaround that still appeases insecure Pete Hegseth? he is itching for a war, so he can be remembered for something, anything.
The more they spend on bullshit the less they spend on ICE thugs
They should rename it DOGE, Department Of Gross Excesses.
WASTE AND ABUSE
The dumba$$ morons keep dragging USA into more and more debt, puerile school yard antics, while China Russia and North Korea plan their next move
I heard 1BILLION DOLLARS MAYBE MORE
It’s a dumber version of Gulf of America somehow
But aren't they against waste and fraud? 🤑🤑🤑
And no Congressional approval! Just like the gaudy good touches at the WH and ballroom we taxpayers didn’t want!
Money can’t buy intelligence or taste.
Look how much money they waste every damned day.....
According to t-rump, no one's better at branding than me. What's next?
Does it matter what things cost or what laws are broken? Emperor tRump has free rein in his current power grab. F* anyone 💯 that supports him ❗
Useless expense, it’ll all have to be rebranded in 2028.
And realize that the expense is actually double that, since every single thing that Trump does we are going to undo and wipe away.
They really are the wasteful, fraudulent abusers that they claim to hate.
It will cost millions of dollars. A gross waste of taxpayers money. So much for being fiscally responsible.
Not it would be it will be. And we will all pay for it. We've been through this. Remember the Gulf of dipshitness?. We're paying for that currently and we'll pay for much more. Did you see what he did to the Rose garden at the White House again? We paid for it before when he was president.
... And Donald Trump has friends that sell those things and will kick back to him
Nobody ever thinks of shit like this when a new guy comes in and feels like he has to piss all over everything to make his mark. This is exactly the type of shit a “businessman” president would do. This is what stupid people voted for.
Better it gets spent on business cards than on bullets tbh
See also: rebranding existing forces and capabilities as “Space Force”
try going outside for walks in nature more often. it helps.
Like changing all the road signs. That's a lot of work and money.
my exact worry is that dems don't undo most of what he's done because of the cost to fix things again
but a savvy politician would add the repair bill to the initial waste and blame it all on trump!
It gets worse. If The Orange Rapist ever has a successor - if he doesn't declare himself emperor and end the US, if humanity survives him - they'll immediately rename it back to "Department of Defense." So this maroon is making sure we have the expense twice just for his vanity.
Their priorities are so ridiculous. Can we DOGE this BS already?
Trump and Hegseth don't care about wasting tax money.
These fools really are ok with wasting money. As long as their candidate is the one doing it. Ironically, their constituents are among the poorest in the nation.
Buy shares in the sign-makers now. Insiders have probably done so already.
no, DOGE got rid of all the waste....or so I've been told
Where’s #GOGE when you need it
No worries. They’ll just cut social security and Medicare to fund it.
Donnie loves to waste taxpayer dollars and lie
Just think how many deals the Trump administration is making with companies to supply new signs, IDs, stationery, etc. Then think how disappointing for these companies when Trump ends up refusing to pay them, as he's often done with business contracts. It's grift time all over the Administration.
Where is doge?
Another expensive grift.
I’ve read possibly upwards of $2bn. How many homeless vets could that money house? How many more doctors could the V.A. hire? How much could they raise active duty pay so they don’t need food stamps? I know these are rhetorical questions as this admin doesn’t give a 💩.
Where is DOGE when you really need ‘em? Big Balls would have gotten to the bottom of this ASAP. Well, right after the mop up of spilled IRS confidential records on Aisle 1.
Plus, Congress would have to approve it first.
Performative bullshit
Don’t worry, DOGE will step and make sure they don’t waste any money on this.
That’s how this man/baby psychopath operates! You dangle a glittery thought in front of him— and he snaps at it! He has all the thought process of a lizard eating flies!
Not his money! When you spend other people's money without any oversight, this is what happens. Must be nice to have gazillion dollars to spend on yourself, your associates and to implement every hateful bone in your body.
He's going to bankrupt the US. It's his brand
Trump’s an idiot.
So your telling me that DOGE and all the ensuing chaos under the guise of fighting waste, fraud, and abuse was all a ruse? It wasn’t about saving money? Huh. Who’d have thought. 🤔
Where is DOGE😱!
And this for the department that ALREADY has the largest budget, by far 🤬🤬🤬
That's what this administration is best at.
He paved a garden out of spite.
Make the calls to our elected officials on Capitol Hill. Demand that they stop wasting our tax dollars to rebrand the Department of Defense to the War Department!
Someone needs to call in DOGE.
They don’t care. Money is not an issue, unless of course it’s going to the people, then they need to grab it for themselves. #PedoProtectorPOTUS #RemoveTrumpNOW
in fairness, the DOGE raiders already got to work destroying tons of records so I'm sure lots of the paper archives that might need to be changed are shredding & burning at the moment anyway
There is no waste bigger than Trump Waste!
OTOH, multiple Most Favored Donors™️ will get inflated contracts paid by public money for the work! Shareholder value maximized!
Fraud and waste is the bottom line with this regime. They take money from American people who paid taxes for protections of food insecurity and medical care to do what they want to destroy our country
Especially since the fucking instant we get sane leadership they’ll switch it back
We will never be a classless society until we physically eliminate the class reaping the benefits from our labor, time, and the livelihoods and futures we retain in dreams so that there’s can be made material. Physical, non-consensual elimination.
It's deliberate, massive spending of unappropriated funds, which is a felony.
If only we had a quasi-governmental group for government efficiency whose job it is to root out waste, fraud, and abuse. We could call it the Department Of Government Efficiency. Or similar, idk.
Probably a double waste - I'm sure the next sane president will revert the name to DoD.
It will involve massive cost. Repubs will scramble to justify it, while also conveniently ignoring the countless other ways he wastes money. Soon, they’ll preach to us about fiscal responsibility.
dump doesn't care, he isn't using his money, he is using ours. Just like he and muskkk have ruined every agency in our country that help citizens. He gave our tax money away to the rich. So America why are we paying tax dollars for agencies that no longer work for us??????
Douse a pallet of your own missile stock in jet fuel & light it up : Treasonous Sabotage.
Ensure money to buy Pallet Of Missile Stock is doused in stooooopid and lit up? Kraznov Treasonous Sabotage.
As goes Donny's Atlantic City Casino...so goes DoD.
And both were favors to Russians.
I can’t believe putting the most ignorant people in charge of everything isn’t going so well for us.
Waste Fraud and Abuse = GOP.
Yo, DOGE, I found something.
My sentiments exactly. It is stupid to spend money on rebranding when people are homeless, malnourished and lacking basic healthcare.
I found that fraud, waste, and abuse Elon was looking for.
And it’s not allowed.
Waste, fraud and abuse
They keep claiming Alpha status while displaying the little boy. The Bone Spur Administration.🤡🤌
Where’s DOGE when you need them?! Oh, yeah, it was never about fraud, waste, abuse with the DOD, only those other agencies.
Seems like a good way to sneak in all kinds of shit and people into a govt agency newly created essentially.
They're not changing the official name but "rebranding it". They don't need to replace everything like IDs, just the cocktail napkins and stationary. 😆
But just think of all the poor people who will give their lives to make it happen!
He needs to be impeached for such totally wasteful spending of our tax dollars.
Calling it department of war is astonishingly stupid, as it suggests just that.
And on top of that, stupid.
Millions???
Wasting a dime of taxpayer money on rebranding the military, when we still have war veterans begging on street corners, is also a moral crime. #WhatIfDems? Restore services for veterans instead.
So what? It's not Trump's money. If you don't care about the public good, there is plenty of funds available.
Remember DOGE? That seems so long ago.
Every congress person who votes for it is wasting our tax dollars for the sake of bending the knee to Trump.
They need to be held accountable.
Not as big a waste as this whole administration. VOTE.
I thought they were going to reduce waste. What is this GARBAGE ? And where is DOGE when you need them ? LIARS AND GRIFTERS ALL.
And yet, I bet tRump will find a way to put $ in his pocket
They don't care, it's not their money! And when this country collapses, they'll laugh their asses off all the way to their estates...
Our money being pissed away on a transient rogue regime. And they were worried about SNAP. Ffs
So it’s wasn’t about cutting waste in spending. Hmm🤬🤬🤬
But the Toddler-in-Chief wants it, so the T-I-C gets it - get it? Otherwise, it won't just be ketchup staining the walls...
Gonna be some contracts involved, wouldn't you think? Do you suppose somebody's gonna be getting a piece of the action?
No, our nonreading donnie does not understand that. He's, above all, an imbecile. And as Nate White so famously wrote, a Frankenstein's monster composed entirely of human flaws.
The contractor who is in charge of rebranding estimated it will be 3 billion but will go to 300 billion by the end. Good friend of the secretary of War.
This whole administration is a waste.
I'm thinking Dow chemical will take issue with dow abbreviation.
Do they even know about evaluating how a plan might affect others, before ramming it forward? This is project management 101. Trump's regime is full of the unqualified.
Your country will be skint by the end of his term!
Trump's middle name is Waste!
It's like the military base renaming nonsense (which cost a fortune, and then another fortune), only a million times worse.
👹Not to mention that it's MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF TAXPAYERS MONEY FFS 👺👺👺
Where’s DOGE?
Fraud waste and abuse
This regime just loves the tax payers bottomless pocket, nothing but waste, fraud, and abuse since day one😡😡😡😡
But his kickbacks!
But Hegspeth is happy. I fully expect him to show up one day in a uniform with lots of gold braid and a sword or "swagger stick." A white horse would also complete the image of a medieval war lord. Picture the painting of Napoleon crossing the Alps.
The Gulf of My Ego for instance?
Where the fuck is doge now?
Trump doesn’t care as long as it’s other people’s money paying for it.
Trump is using the taxpayer credit card so he doesn't give a shit.
The irony is hard to miss: the same people who rail against “big government” are proposing one of the biggest, most pointless bureaucratic boondoggles in modern history. You don’t waste billions on cosmetic rebranding if you care about efficiency — you do it if you care about vanity and distraction.
Stupid expenditure of taxpayers' money is a major characteristic of this administration.
Doesn't congress have to approve it, too?
Yes it is.
Tru p’s hallmark is fraud and grift. But sure, lots of govt waste, like using the armed forces to invade AMERICA.
DOGE for thee but not for me.
looks like big balls is too busy spanking it to internet porn or something to bother with that kind of waste!
Very DOGE , much efficiency so America yes
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It's another illegal EO. Only Congress can change the agency name.
I see a tRump printing shop and Outdoor Sign Company in the near future.
Donald Trump never cared about waste, fraud, abuse, debt, deficits, drugs, or crime.
Cost is of no concern to him. As far as he is concerned, it's free money for him to play with as he chooses. The BBB is nothing more than a big waste of money and a gift to billionaires at our expense.
I remember when we rebranded the credit union I worked for, it cost well over a hundred thousand dollars and that was in 2002! And we were only the 4th largest in the state at the time.
I’ve been through ridiculous corporate rebranding and mergers and seen the waste involved. I can imagine the expense here.
Especially when it's going to be IMMEDIATELY undone by the next president. Nothing Rump does will hold a lasting legacy.
Take from the poor, quiet & gentle to humor the wealthy and powerful.
Design is cheap compared to the other spending of the regime. I went to the White House website to see the new design it was a work in progress live. This screen shot of Cheeto and Felon is hilarious. You see the erase tool and everything.
It will be as expensive as the formation of the DHS.
And that probably does not take into account costs for gold epaulets for uniforms and filigree for tanks …
Fraud waste and abuse.
And can't be renamed by Executive Order, but only an Act of Congress.
So realistically, they can make some "for when the dumbass would see it" stock and ignore doing any more- or not even that, because again, Trump can't change the name with an executive order.
For government waste, you can count on Republicans. Look at DOGE, how many people did they fire and rehire? ++++++
AND-- so difficult to trace where all that money goes! Every grifting the book. THEN-- when it's all over, it all has to be changed back!
The Reps cons and MAGA only give a shit about govt waste when the Dems are in power, this is all projectionist bullshit.
The estimates are that the name change will cost at LEAST $80 BILLION.
The Toddler-In-Chief doesn't care and neither does Drunky Pete.
it's stationery, nor stationary
I’d bet they could drag a feasibility study out for longer than he will be relevant.
I’m sure that the process to make those changes will be efficient, without waste and will have an honest bidding process for all necessary contracts. 😬
Who got the contract to change the stuff? Follow the money.
Small Dick Syndrome
That’s what this administration is about , waste and rebranding.
