In this administration, knowing something about the department you're in charge of is seen as a sign that you're just another dreaded "expert" and thus not qualified to be in the administration. So, being a moron about what you're in charge of is actually a plus in Trump 2.0. Trolling the libs is more important than competency.

Apparently this was Trump’s way of getting back at Colorado because of their usage of mail-in voting.Poor Jeff Crank. The last of thousands who have been fucked in the ass by Trump, at least some of whom are over the age of consent.
Space Command is moving from Colorado to Alabama, Trump will announce
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's administration will announce on Tuesday that U.S. Space Command will be located in Alabama, reversing a Biden-era decision to keep it at its temporary headquarters in Colorado Springs, according to two people familiar with the announcement.gazette.com
"Alabama and Colorado have long battled to claim Space Command because it has significant implications for the local economy. The site also has been a political prize, with elected officials from both Alabama and Colorado asserting their state is the better location.
"On Aug. 7, 2023, Colorado politicians basked in their Space Command victory in America the Beautiful Park after facing uneven odds against Alabama on military-related congressional committees. Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade was joined by Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, Gov. Jared Polis and Rep. Doug Lamborn, who has since retired, were at the celebration."

Space Command to leave Colorado Springs, move to Alabama
President Trump is expected to announce plans to move the command from Colorado to Alabama, in a return to a decision he made in the final days of his first term.www.cpr.org
"President Donald Trump is expected to announce this afternoon that he is reviving a plan to permanently base Space Command in Huntsville, Alabama, according to the Associated Press.
"A defense media website said the event is a “U.S. Space Command HQ Announcement,” but it has since been changed to just “an announcement,” with no details.
"The command has been operating from Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs since Trump revived it in 2019. It achieved full operational capacity there in late 2023.
"Colorado’s Republican congress members stressed that point in a joint letter to Trump in April, asking him not to relocate operations.
“Transfering the Command at such a turbulent time would jeopardize our national security, needlessly put American lives at risk, and create an unnecessary waste of taxpayer resources,” Reps. Jeff Crank, Lauren Boebert, Gabe Evans and Jeff Hurd wrote.
"They added that the natural security situation has changed since Trump first announced his intent to move the command to Alabama in January 2021. “Moving USSPACECOM would create a self-inflicted vulnerability at a time when foreign adversaries like the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Iran, and Russia are increasingly assertive, and when conflicts in the Middle East demand sustained vigilance.”
The plea from Colorado Republicans seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.

“… "I am very disappointed in President Putin, I can say that, and we will be doing something to help people live," Trump said in an interview on The Scott Jennings Radio Show.
… Trump was also asked in the interview if he was concerned "about an axis forming against the United States with China and Russia."
"I am not concerned at all ... We have the strongest military in the world, by far. They would never use their military on us. Believe me," he said….”

“…Although it has held itself out as a more ethical version of NSO Group, the U.S.-banned maker of Pegasus phone spyware, Paragon drew criticismthis year after traces of its powerful Graphite tool were found on the devices of Italian journalists, advocates for migrants, and associates of Pope Francis.
During a government inquiry that followed, Italian officials acknowledged responsibility for some but not all of the breaches. Paragon then said it had stopped working with Italian government agencies…”
China, especially with Russia allied AND India isolated/neutral wouldn’t see a need to use its military against the U.S. They’ll be able to use Trump’s desire to isolate the US to weaken America.

That would only make sense if DOGE had been about actually saving money.
