President Donald Trump provided an update on the stranded NASA astronauts set to make their way back to Earth in a social media post on Monday.
In a Truth Social post, Trump said that he recently conferred with Janet Petro, the acting administrator of NASA, who is coordinating the return of NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams.
"She is coordinating our Team of highly respected Scientists, Space Engineers, and various other ‘geniuses,’ who has agreed to let our Astronauts come home long prior to the two week period originally approved by NASA," Trump wrote.
"Janet was great. She said, ‘Let’s bring them home NOW, Sir!’ — And I thanked her."
The president also took a swipe at his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, and accused him of "forgetting" about Wilmore and Williams. Trump also spoke about Elon Musk and Space X's involvement in the return mission.
"This began when I asked Elon Musk to go up and get the abandoned Astronauts, because the Biden Administration was incapable of doing so," Trump claimed. "They shamefully forgot about the Astronauts, because they considered it to be a very embarrassing event for them – Another thing I inherited from that failed group of incompetents."

Tell us how you really feel, Donald.
No truer words were have been spoken
By golly! I think he did and not one curse word. He didn’t even call them shitheads.
Joe needs to come out and drool a rebuttal, defending his team of incompetents.
The Dems and fake media are rooting hard for failure.
When is Sen. Kelly going to thank Elon for saving the astronauts that Biden stranded in Space?
Yeah, they would love for the mission to fail so they can blame orange man bad. We need to be praying for everyone involved 🙏
True. Godspeed for them to get home.
Dragon is set to undock in 23 minutes from my post. The long wait for Butch and Suni is almost over.
You have a (video) link?
The judicial branch is still filled with incompetence.
