'Daily Show' Scorches Trump's Defense Department Rebrand With 1 Terrifying Pitch

'Daily Show' Scorches Trump's Defense Department Rebrand With 1 Terrifying Pitch

HuffPost

Michael Kosta spotted how the president could make the world start "quivering in their boots."

“Daily Show” correspondent Michael Kosta ripped President Donald Trump on Wednesday for making the Department of Defense seem “weaker” after signing an executive order to give it a secondary nickname: the Department of War.

“Not a good sign when a country suddenly sets up a Department of War, what’s the president trying to tell us about what’s going to happen?” Kosta said.

“It’s like when your doctor asks you come in and discuss your test results in person. Uh, why? So we can high-five over how few STDs I have?”

Kosta mocked the president for describing the DOD name — which the department began using in 1949 — as “woke,” joking that it was a “famously woke time period in American history.”

“I guess wokeness is also why we lost in Vietnam, huh? Big mistake to carpet bomb that country with DVDs of the Black ‘Little Mermaid,’” he quipped.
