Although details are still sketchy -- hey, it's Trumpedo, after all -- but the cost of changing the name from the Department of Defense to the Department of War could run into the tens, even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Officials may need to change Defense Department seals on more than 700,000 facilities in 40 countries and all 50 states. This includes everything from letterhead for six military branches and dozens more agencies down to embossed napkins in chow halls, embroidered jackets for Senate-confirmed officials and the keychains and tchotchkes in the Pentagon store.

S'kay though. It's not like that money might be better spent on housing for unhoused Vets or better pay so 35,000 active duty members wouldn't have to rely on SNAP benefits to eat.

I dunno, maybe Trumpedo should just release the Epstein Files and stop the nonsense.
