"reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history."
"The United States Institute of Peace was once a bloated, useless entity that blew $50 million per year while delivering no peace. Now, the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, which is both beautifully and aptly named after a President who ended eight wars in less than a year, will stand as a powerful reminder of what strong leadership can accomplish for global stability."
"adds insult to injury."
The Trump administration seized control of the U.S. Institute of Peace, ousted its board, and renamed the organization the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, placing the president's name on its headquarters near the State Department. The State Department said the renaming was meant to "reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history." White House spokesperson Anna Kelly called the prior institute wasteful and praised the renaming as evidence of strong leadership that ended eight wars. The takeover triggered legal challenges and criticism from former leadership and staff. The renaming occurred amid Trump's public lobbying for a Nobel Peace Prize and recent military actions near Venezuela.
