Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) criticized Donald Trump's decision to rename the Department of Defense to the "Department of War" and argued that Trump's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal made military conflict inevitable.
Left-leaning outlets like Salon.com and People's World frame the situation as a constitutional crisis, highlighting calls for impeachment and potential war crimes. In contrast, right-leaning sources such as The American Conservative and Fox News depict Trump as the target of a media-led "humiliation" campaign and dismiss removal efforts as "fringe." Meanwhile, EWTN News and AP News note a rare rift with his conservative base following his attacks on the Pope and use of messianic imagery.
