    He doesn’t understand the negative connotations behind it and why one of the main branches of the empire needs to be obfuscated in euphemism? I kinda believe the mental decline rumours now, lol, or maybe he’s just testing the waters to see if Americans still have that bloodthirst like the good ol’ Bush days, idk.

      I think he just likes to dangle something controversial and shiny in his left hand so you forget he’s hiding the Epstein files behind his back with the right hand. He def knows how to rustle the left’s jimmies, unfortunately.

        I think he is just that simple of a man.

        Defense is not aggressive and therefore bad. War sounds aggressive so it’s good.

        That’s it. That is the whole thought process of this simpleton.

          Honestly, even turning the thought into a sentence, putting letters to the words, is more work than his brain did to get there

        No, stop treating him like he’s some sort of brilliant conman. He’s never been. Even his own sister has said that he’s a moron - his entire plan consists of “I wanna”. I want it to be the Department of War, I want to be the one launching wars, I want to be the guy pushing the Big Red Button. He’s a narcissist, and narcissists rarely tend to think more than a step or two ahead. They assume everyone’s dumber than them, and they can rarely be dissuaded from this.

          I agree he’s far from brilliant, and I really mean his admin more than him alone. There are some real insidious people with his ear

      mental decline

      Are you forgetting he remembered “person, woman, man, camera, TV” that one time?
