Trump's Military Space Initiative

President Trump’s brain genius decision in March to create the Space Force, the first new branch of the U.S. military in over seven decades, did not go over well with the top generals and admirals in the Pentagon who are in the midst of making cuts and consolidating the monstrously bloated and oversaturated military to make it more efficient. But it can still be established and NASA can be a part of it. Its missions would be to maintain would be to maintain military satellites, reinitiate strategic defense intercept capabilities of nuclear re-entry attacks. Beyond that, it would be needed later in the future. A pioneering feat. Frustrated that his absurd idea wasn’t taken seriously, Trump went ahead and issued a space policy directive anyway during the third National Space Council meeting four days ago, blindsiding both the military officials as well as aerospace industry executives and Congress.
