Translation: I’m wasting millions in taxpayer money and punishing Colorado because they didn’t vote for me.

Trump on moving Space Force base from Colorado:
"The problem I have with Colorado -- they do mail in voting. They went to all mail in voting, so they have automatically crooked elections. And we can't have that."

If Trump had won Colorado , with mail in voting, this change never would have happened.
Wake the fuck up MAGAs.
Funny part is that the "Space Force" is currently located just outside Colorado Springs, a very very red part of Colorado.
yeah it is
After this there is a good chance it will move purple.
Riiiiggghhhttt, like Tejas right?...
From Google's AI...
Yes, Donald Trump explicitly stated that his decision to move U.S. Space Command headquarters from Colorado to Alabama was influenced by Colorado’s political leanings and use of mail-in voting.
During a press event on September 2, 2025, Trump said:
He also praised Alabama for its support of him and the Republican Party, standing alongside GOP Senators and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. While Hegseth later claimed the move was based on strategic recommendations from the Pentagon, Trump’s own remarks framed it as political retaliation.
A petty, vindictive child.
Some people say that he always wanted it to be in Alabama. Problem with that take is that he just gave Colorado's voting against him as a reason for the move.
I'm waiting for the day we can impeach this piece of crap.
How much is this political retaliation going to cost the taxpayers? They're already set up and running in CO from what I hear
If you represent a state that voted for Biden or Harris I guess you can expect to have government contracts taken away from you now. On his whim of course.
“How much is this political retaliation going to cost the taxpayers?”
Not to mention the hundreds, née thousands of people forced to find new homes, new schools, new churches…or left unemployed…or the long term effects on the local economy.
And the Colorado Springs area is conservative leaning, perhaps now much to their dismay.
Just another day in the trump daze of personal retribution.
OK... so ignoring Trump and getting to the real story.....
Apparently they're not going to shut the base in Colorado. They're simply moving the HQ. They needed more space, and existing infrastructure in Alabama is easier and cheaper to add on to than it would be in Colorado.
There is already huge space infrastructure there including NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin and our existing missile defense command.
So it sounds like Trump is taking a very routine military efficiency decision and trying to make political noise with it. Shocking, I know. Who would have thought him capable of such a thing..... *eyeroll*
thanks for that info, Jack
Where is DOGE when you really need it?
Good, this is righting the wrong perpetrated by the piece of shit Biden administration, Red Stone was named as the home for Space Force in 2021, AFTER several bases competed and Red Stone was named as the preferred base, but the partisan piece of shit Biden moved it to try to buy votes and tried to fast track it the GAO and DoD inspector general shut the fucker down, it is now going to where it was supposed to be all along.
That is the problem when you let AI think for you, you get bullshit returns, lawyers have had huge judgements levied against them for being dumb enough to use AI.
Trump SAID TODAY that he was moving it because Colorado didnt vote for him. Without that excuse he would have no excuse for moving it.
Boo the hoo, Red Stone was named the base HQ, Bidden moved it from Alabama because it is Red, Prove differently.
Biden did not move space force, it was always in Colorado.
This comment is a lie,
AI is bullshit.
Why didnt Trump just say he was moving it to Alabama because that is where it was always intended to go?
Colorado was always temporary, Biden want to make it permanent because it is a blue state and Alabama didn't vote for him, or he was so senile he didn't know the difference, you choose, have you at least moved on from your AI bullshit about it being at Peterson before?
Who the fuck knows why trump says the stupid shit he says? the Bottom line is Huntsville was named as the headquarters, the only person who moved it was Biden over the objections of the AF and GAO. PERIOD. Now it is being restored to it's rightful home in Alabama.
Let me get this straight..... you... John Russell... are asking why the President.... Donald Trump... didn't pass up an opportunity to fabricate a petty political point where one never existed?
Just checking that I understand the situation.
BTW, there has been a space center in Huntsville since 1960. Dunno why this was ever in Colorado.
How many Americans today will take Trumps crap at face value ?
That aspect of it never seems to interest you.
Biden didnt move anything. It was never in Alabama.
We seem to always disagree on that. Probably because I know so many more Trump supporters than you do.
It doesn't. I have too much personal experience with literally hundreds upon hundreds of real life Trump voters. They just don't take him seriously like liberals do.
Don't get me wrong.... they believe a lot of stuff that isn't true. But it's just not generally the stuff Trump says. Frankly, they share a lot of misunderstanding with the lefties, they just reach different wrong conclusions.
For the past ten years polling has consistently shown that many many many MAGAs believe things that are simply not true. It is one of their defining features.
Buddy... there is a saying about glass houses and stones......
The HQ was to be in Alabama, the temp home was Peterson, Period. you can continue to post Bullshit like it was originally established in 1985 but that is a lie. Biden is the piece of shit that tried to make Peterson permanent over the original Huntsville location.
but that's ok all those mail in ballots went for trmp
But not ALL encompassing mail-in voting like Colofornia.
I live in Denver, and the mail in voting is pretty much foolproof, because it was set up properly. We also have early voting, and even some in person voting in some circumstances. Several states hurriedly rushed to change their systems which were not secure and allowed cheating, which the Dems will always exploit. I simply ignore Trump's bloviating and his ignorance of the details in whatever he is talking about, but I support his retaliation against his political enemies
