President Donald Trump railed against the state of Colorado on Tuesday while announcing that he was moving the U.S. Space Force command from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama.
Trump made the announcement in the Oval Office and added, “My first term, we created—and I created—a thing called Space Force. So important. You know, we were losing the race in space very badly to China and to Russia. And now we’re far and away number one in space. And reestablish Space Command with a mission to protect American space assets and detect any threat to our homeland.”
“We initially selected Huntsville for the Space Command headquarters, yet those plans were wrongfully obstructed by the Biden administration. And as you know, they moved them to a different locale. And today, we’re moving forward with what we want to do and the place that we want to have this. And this will be there for hopefully hundreds of years. That’s where it’s going to be,” Trump said, adding:
I will say I want to thank Colorado. The problem I have with Colorado—one of the big problems—they do mail-in voting. They went to all mail-in voting. So they have automatically crooked elections, and we can’t have that. When a state is for mail-in voting, that means they want dishonest elections because that’s what that means.So that played a big factor also. In Huntsville,
Space Command will play a key role in building the Golden Dome, as you know. That’s going to be a big thing. Everybody wants to be a participant in it—missile defense shield. We’re going to be having a Golden Dome that—the likes of which nobody’s ever seen before. The finest, the best. And, by the way, Canada called. They want to be a part of it. And that’ll be great.But Canada wants very much to be included in that, and then we’re gonna work something out with them, I hope. To also ensure that our technological capabilities, of which we’re way ahead of anybody else’s—nobody close—remain unmatched long into the future. So I’d like to ask Secretary Hegseth to say a few words. He was very much a part of it. And really, everybody behind me was.
Notably, Alabama also has mail-in, absentee voting. Trump lost Colorado in all three elections he has run, while he has always won Alabama — a point he made earlier in his remarks.
