The United States Space Force is moving to Alabama. That was the announcement President Donald Trump made on Tuesday before answering a barrage of questions from the press. In doing so, he put to rest the last week of Democrat conspiracies regarding his health.
How did we get here? Trump had the sheer audacity to not give a press conference for a few days in a row, and that's all it took for the lunatic left to get going. Rumors ranged from the president having a stroke to being dead, with the mainstream press doing their part by platforming various Democrats doing the "just asking questions" routine.
Others, such as The Lincoln Project, outright celebrated Trump's supposed demise, apparently not thinking far enough ahead to realize JD Vance would take over the White House.

That wasn't the best part, though. The best part was when a former Joe Biden official claimed the current administration wasn't being transparent about the president's health. I almost fell out of my seat laughing. You can't make this stuff up.

Well, as it turns out, Trump wasn't dead or dying. Appearing perfectly healthy, he shared the news that the Space Force, which is currently based in Colorado, will be moving its headquarters to Huntsville, AL.

Huntsville already has a long history with the country's space program, having been home to the development of NASA's Saturn V rocket, used in the moon landings. Expectedly, the questions asked of Trump didn't center on that relatively mundane announcement, though. Instead, we got this zinger from Fox News' Peter Doocy.

The level of projection going on from Democrats over Trump's "health" is off the charts. It's an attempt to overcompensate and deflect from the scandal they perpetrated in covering up Joe Biden's actual health issues. They desperately want to be able to say, "See, Joe Biden was fine. It was actually Trump who has cancer and can't remember what day it is!"
You can blow up that talking point with one simple question: Why did Joe Biden drop out of the presidential race then? They have no answer, and they will never have an answer because if they told the truth, it would mean admitting they lied repeatedly. Trump might not be a spring chicken, but he's clearly in far better health than Biden was throughout his single term. No amount of gaslighting and "look, a squirrel" commentary will change that.
