President Donald’s name has been emblazoned on the side of the building that houses the U.S. Institute of Peace, sparking mockery, and criticism that it’s a dictator-like thing to do, on social media…

The State Department confirmed the move on Wednesday.
Following the addition of Trump’s name, CNN quoted one former agency official as saying: “It’s pretty ironic that he put his name on an institution he destroyed (with DOGE).”

Commenters online also responded mockingly, with many noting how Trump earlier this year failed to win the Nobel Peace Prize, despite much campaigning from his supporters.

President Donald Trump’s name has been emblazoned on the side of the building that houses the U.S. Institute of Peace, sparking mockery, and criticism that it’s a dictator-like thing to do, on social media.

The State Department confirmed the move on Wednesday.

“This morning, the State Department renamed the former Institute of Peace to reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation’s history,” it wrote on X, formerly Twitter, alongside an image of the change.

“Welcome to the Donald J. Trump Institute Of Peace,” it added, before appearing to channel current U.S. ambassador to Greece (and former Fox News personality and ex-flame of Donald Trump Jr.) Kimberly Guilfoyle’s viral 2020 Republican National Convention rallying cry of: “The best is yet to come.”

The Trump administration essentially gutted the independent agency earlier this year as part of the tech billionaire Elon Musk’s nonofficial Department of Government Efficiency’s war on what they believed to be wasteful public spending.
