Bill Maher Takes On Trump’s ‘Department Of War’ — And His Rosie O’Donnell Obsession
HuffPost
The comedian noted a stark contrast between the president's actions and the image he's trying to project.
President Donald Trump’s headline-grabbing antics are once again drawing fire from comedian Bill Maher.
During Friday’s episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the host zoned in on Trump’s latest eyebrow-raising move: attempting to rename the Department of Defense to the “Department of War.”
“The Department of Defense is now the Department of War, also the Justice Department will now be the Girl of Revenge,” Maher joked.
The rebrand isn’t just a gag. Trump signed an executive order on Friday to rename the department, though formally changing the name requires an act of Congress.
Maher noted that the department was “originally” called the Department of War “under George Washington.” In 1949, it was changed to the Department of Defense.
