Over the weekend, the internet buzzed with rumours that Donald Trump had passed away! Social media erupted with the hashtag “TRUMPISDEAD,” sparking wild speculation about the former president’s condition. But on Tuesday, Trump himself put those talks to bed, dismissing them as pure “fake news” during a press conference about the U.S. Space Command HQ.
Trump, 79, seemed totally unaware of the chatter, saying he was active and feeling great. His visible bruises and oddly-coloured hands caught the media’s attention, but he shrugged off concerns and pushed on with his big announcement: relocating the U.S. Space Command from Colorado to Huntsville, Alabama, also dubbed “Rocket City.”
Although Trump’s health and the bizarre rumours stole the spotlight, the decision to move Space Command is set to bring significant economic benefits, including 30,000 new jobs and huge investments in Huntsville. Local officials, like Alabama Governor Kay Ivey, have hinted at this decision, expressing confidence in Huntsville as the ideal fit for the mission to flourish.
Trump’s press conference may have been delayed 45 minutes, but he made sure to centre the discussion around the space programme’s future. He criticised Colorado’s voting system while praising Alabama’s potential as the new hub for space operations.
Despite the drama, Trump’s take on the rumours was nonchalant, even mirroring his own comments from Truth Social where he claimed he had “NEVER FELT BETTER.”
So, whether you’re interested in space jobs or presidential gossip, this was a Tuesday filled with both intrigue and big reveals! 🚀
