Trump Ridiculed For Claiming U.S. Could Have 'Won Every War' If We Weren't 'Wokey'
HuffPost
One military expert said the president's comment was "even for him, amazingly stupid."
President Donald Trump made a bold statement Friday about the country’s defense policy that inspired immediate ridicule on social media.
It occurred while the president was announcing the name change of the Department of Defense to the “Department of War” and explaining the rationale behind the rebrand.
The DOD was known as the “Department of War” from 1789 until 1949, when it was changed to “Department of Defense.”
Trump claimed ― without evidence, of course ― that the name change is necessary because the DOD name caused a change of attitude with America’s military members.
“Really it has to do with winning,” he said. “We should have won every war. We could have won every war, but we really chose to be very politically correct or wokey and we just fight forever.”
