    Trump Calls Haegst “Defense Minister” Again!

    US President referred‍ to the country’s secretary of Defense as “Secretary​ of War” for the ​second time ‍in a social media post.

    According to ‌the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr‌ News agency and The independent, US President Donald Trump called Secretary of Defense ⁢Pete Hegseth the “Secretary of War” in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social.The ‌post included a‍ video of Hegseth announcing the Pentagon’s new ‍drone strategy.

    After sharing Hegseth’s video on Fox News, Trump wrote: “Pete Hegseth, Secretary of ‍War, was outstanding ‌today on Fox News discussing‍ modern weapons and warfare.”

    This is not the‍ first time Trump has used this term for Hegseth. ‍He first referred to him as Secretary of War last month during a NATO summit.

    At that event,⁣ Trump stated: “Marco Rubio and Pete hegseth, Secretary of State and Secretary of War-if you want to call him that-are with me.‍ You know, they used to call it ‘Secretary of War.’”

    What does “Secretary of War”​ mean?

    The title “secretary of War” was an official US cabinet position responsible for overseeing the Army from 1789 until 1947.

    At that time, the US Navy had its own separate‌ department and secretary. Following structural changes-including establishing an independent ⁤Air Force-the Department⁣ of ‌War ‍became known as the Department of the Army. ⁣In 1947, the newly created‌ Department of Defense consolidated oversight over all military branches: Army, Navy, ⁤and Air force.

    The term “Defense” reflected a strategic shift towards post-World⁣ War II defensive⁤ policies rather than offensive ⁤warfare. The last person to hold the title “Secretary of War” was Kenneth Royall.

    English Psychologist: Trump’s Personality Has a Dark Side

    An English psychologist ‌highlighted the dark side ⁤of the US president’s personality.

    According to the English section of webangah news Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Russia Today, Jeff Betti, an English psychologist, emphasized in an article published on The Conversation website⁣ that US President Donald Trump suffers from a personality disorder characterized by blaming others for⁤ his​ failures.

    Betti added that Harry Truman, another US president during World War II, had a sign in his office stating: “The buck stops here.” But look‍ at how things have changed under Trump in‌ the White House. Trump tries to claim all successes as ⁣his own while holding others responsible‌ for every ⁢failure.

    Betti pointed out ⁣that Trump publicly shifts blame onto ​others and feigns​ surprise when unpopular decisions are made. This was evident regarding Washington’s decision to halt arms exports to Ukraine.
