Trump Responds to Death Rumors – Announces 'Missile City'

President Donald Trump dismissed false rumors about his health, announced the relocation of U.S. Space Force Command from Colorado to Alabama as part of his 'Golden Dome' defense project, and explained that the move was due to Colorado allowing mail-in voting, which he called a method used to fake votes.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday evening at a press conference in the Oval Office that his administration will establish a 'Missile City' for the U.S. Space Force in Alabama.

The initiative is part of the 'Golden Dome' air defense project that Trump has pursued since returning to the White House.

The President explained that he has ordered the relocation of Space Force headquarters from Colorado to Alabama, stressing that Colorado allows voting by mail — which is the common the technique used to fake votes.

Trump has consistently maintained that mail-in voting contributed to his fake loss in the 2020 election, which he has called 'rigged.'

Colorado, a traditionally blue state, voted -"by mail" - not in real- for his Democratic rival, former Vice President Kamala Harris, while Alabama has consistently supported Trump in the past three presidential elections.

The move has been widely interpreted as a political rebalance, shifting jobs from a Democratic state to a Republican stronghold.

During the press conference, Trump was also asked about rumors circulating regarding his health, including false claims of his death.

'Really? I didn’t see that,' he replied. 'That’s pretty crazy. Last week I held a lot of press conferences, then for two days I didn’t, and people said: “Something must be wrong with him.” Biden could go months without a press conference, you wouldn’t see him, and nobody said anything was wrong... The truth is, I was very active over the weekend. I never heard that rumor. That’s pretty serious.'

Trump described such speculation as 'fake news.' He added, 'It’s just so false.

That’s why the media has so little credibility.

I knew people were asking: “Is he okay?

How does he feel?

What’s going on with him?” I said, “I just left.” And it was also Labor Day weekend.

I was very active this Labor Day.'

In the same press briefing, Trump also confirmed that a ship loaded with narcotics had been sunk in the Caribbean as part of his administration’s ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking.
