"Donald Trump is still alive - and he's got something to say. The president as not spoken in public since last Tuesday, aside from Truth Social posts. This unusual disappearance, coupled with Trump's big hand bruise, led to wild Trump health rumors circulating online throughout Labor Day weekend. Trump plans to reemerge on Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET with an appearance in the Oval Office."
"The Trump administration is drawing up plans to rebrand the Department of Defense as the Department of War, according to a White House official, following up on the president's push to revive a name last used in 1947. Restoring the discarded name of the government's largest department could be done by an act of Congress, but the White House is considering other avenues to make the change, according to the official."
"The decision would reverse a move made under President Joe Biden's administration, which had selected Colorado Springs as the permanent home for the military's newest combatant command in 2023. A relocation could spark controversy, with critics arguing the switch appears designed to favor Alabama, a reliably Republican state, over Colorado, which has increasingly voted Democratic in recent elections. Space Command currently operates from Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs on an interim basis."
Donald Trump stayed out of public view since last Tuesday aside from Truth Social posts, and a bruise on his hand prompted health rumors over Labor Day weekend. He will appear in the Oval Office Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET for what White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described as an exciting announcement related to the Department of Defense. The administration is drafting plans to rebrand the Department of Defense as the Department of War, reviving a name last used in 1947, and officials say they may pursue avenues beyond Congress to enact the change. The proposal would reverse a Biden-era decision that named Colorado Springs the permanent home for the military's newest combatant command in 2023, a relocation critics say could favor Alabama over Colorado; Space Command currently operates from Peterson Space Force Base on an interim basis. Trump also held a June military parade for the Army's 250th birthday and said he was disappointed with the marching.
