President Donald Trump has announced a new defense force. This one focusing on out of this world threats. Trump has directed the Pentagon to launch a new ‘space force’.
According to The Daily Wire:
After several months of conversation on the subject, President Donald Trump finally announced Monday that he will ask the Pentagon to create a sixth military branch designed to handle space, space-faring activities, and lead any eventual war we might end up fighting with extra-terrestrials.
The new branch of the military, temporarily known as the “Space Force,” will be “focused solely on space,” CNBC reports.
Trump made the announcement Monday morning at a meeting of the National Space Council.
“I am 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,” Trump told the group.
This has been on Trump’s radar for some time. And President Trump gets things done.
