Trump Announcement
President Donald Trump just made a public appearance and spoke to reporters, where he said he didn’t know about conspiracy theories circulating on the internet over the weekend about him being dead.
CNN had reported that Trump was on the golf course over Labor Day weekend.
Here’s what he covered in his remarks today:
New announcement: Trump said that US Space Command Headquarters will move to Huntsville, Alabama. This was decided during his first administration, but in 2023, former President Joe Biden elected to have it remain in Colorado, angering Alabama lawmakers. Today, Trump thanked Colorado for being the location for the headquarters, but blamed its mail-in voting provision for what ended up being a “big factor” in his decision.
On Chicago: Trump said today that he will send National Guard troops into Chicago, but did not provide a timeline.
Fate of tariffs: Trump said his administration will appeal a decision that shot down many of his sweeping tariffs to the Supreme Court as soon as tomorrow. A “wrong” decision from the conservative court would mean “devastation for our country,” he said. “The stock market needs the tariffs.”
Putin: The US president hinted at developments in his efforts to bring peace to Ukraine, but declined to provide any specifics.
Viral video: Trump dismissed a viral video of what appears to be a black bag being tossed out of the White House as an AI-generated fake, adding that it’s “a little bit scary” how realistic such videos can be.
