President Donald Trump said he stopped multiple wars and mused about renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War during an Oval Office executive order signing ceremony. He claimed to have prevented a large India-Pakistan war and to have ended a 34- to 35-year conflict between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, asserting nine million people were killed with machetes and that he got the war stopped. He said presidents and foreign ministers were due to sign agreements. NPR and Human Rights Watch noted violence persists, including an M23 attack that killed 141 villagers in July.
During an Oval Office executive order signing ceremony on Monday, Trump mused about renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War when he brought up war in Africa. As the Department of War, we won everything. We won everything. I think we'll have to go back to that. In the meantime, I've stopped all of these wars. I've stopped them. A big one would have been India and Pakistan. We stopped them all. We stopped three wars.
Go to Africa, they like to say, Oh, you know I love Black people and I did great with the vote with the Black people but they say, He's a racist, he's a racist. I said really? For 35 years the war waged between Rwanda and the Republic of the Congo. And it was a vicious war. Nine million people were killed, with machetes largely hatchets, machetes. That went on for more than 30 years 34, 35 years and I stopped it.
