Trump has mentioned the Space Force before, so today he stated that
“I’m hereby directing the Department of Defense and Pentagon to immediately begin the process necessary to establish a space force as the sixth branch of the armed forces. That’s a big statement. We are going to have the Air Force and we are going to have the Space Force, separate but equal.”
Trump did start out his speech talking about how the U.S. can not become a migrant holding facility. The breaking up of families, and detention of children separately from their parents remains a politically charged new item, and he continues to seek to cast blame on the democratic party for the problem. The rhetoric around the problem on both sides continues to ignore any potential for addressing the root problems, i.e. why are people so desperate on our southern border?
I'm going to make a list here of issues that embroil Trump and his administration. This is off the top of my head, I suspect it will grow with time as I keep watch.
- Stormy Daniels
- Trump Charity lawsuit by New York Attorney General
- FBI investigation (it keeps being called a Russian Collusion investigation, but I'm pretty sure there's more to it than that at this point
- North Korea
- The Space Force
- The Border Wall
- Alien Children Detention/family separation
- Presidential Pardons
- Civil War Monuments
