This "blow everything out of proportion and grossly exaggerate to further your own agenda" junk is why political discussion sucks. All it does is MAKE PEOPLE NOT TRUST YOU. Yes, certainly, there are many who will believe lies, many who WANT to believe lies, but what you end up with is two sides who both lie constantly and make the space between them seem like an impossible chasm. It just turns people into puppets for politicians and political entertainers. Of course, fanatics are happy to dance around like puppets.

In this case, the OP makes it sound like Trump is building the Imperial Fleet. The actual article referenced? Not so much.

Basically, Trump is ordering the framework for the separation of orbital security from the Air Force, where it rests now, into its own branch. It's stuff the US (and everyone else) has already been doing. Of course, a President can't actually create a new military branch, so this is moot unless Congress passes such a motion.

I don't even like Trump but this kind of exaggeration is just silly.
