On Homeland Security: Space Force: sixth branch of the armed services

President Trump touted one of his proudest achievements: Securing what he called "$716 billion with a B," for the military next year. "Our military will be stronger, and bigger, and better and more sophisticated than it's ever been. Ever," Trump told the crowd at the Charleston Civic Center. "The stronger your military, the better chance you have of never having to use it. We don't want to use it. We don't want to use it."

Of course, Trump also included a plug for his latest initiative, creating a Space Force as a sixth branch of the armed services. "That's very exciting. We need it. That's the new frontier. And I'm not just talking about sending rockets to the moon. I'm talking about militarily, that's where it's at."
