New Truth Social Post From Trump Declaring 'the Moon Is Ours' Has Got People Talking
Red State ^ | 6 Sep, 2026 | Sister Toldjah

As he is wont to do, President Donald Trump has posted something to his Truth Social page that has got people talking and speculating this Labor Day holiday weekend.

The POTUS has had space endeavors on his mind in recent weeks, which have included honoring the famed crew of Artemis II and announcing plans to sign "an executive order establishing a U.S. National Space Academy, apparently to feed into the Space Force and NASA," as my RedState colleague Nick Arama previously reported.

"To continue to lead the world in space exploration and technology, while securing and defending our national interests in space, the Nation must prepare the next generation of astronauts, scientists, engineers, operators, entrepreneurs, civil servants, and warfighters and ensure that they are capable of advancing American interests in space," Trump noted in the executive order he signed on August 28th.

He added that "it is my Administration’s policy to strengthen the Nation’s space workforce by expanding opportunities to educate and develop the next generation of leaders across the space domain."

Something else RedState reported was Trump sharing what our own Ward Clark described as "the new strangely Star Wars-like Space Force uniform." We're not sure if this is going to be the finished product, but the image certainly sparked quite the stir:

... as did this one from Trump, where he declared "the moon is ours":

So it would sound like the goal of us going to the moon and staying there, along with Trump suggesting that the "moon is ours," would kind of go hand in hand.

What are your thoughts?

Cute but false.

There will never be another American flag on the moon.
The cancellation of the Apollo program is permanent.

We gave up our shot at colonizing the moon to take care of welfare payments.

If another American ever goes to he moon, it will be aboard a Chinese spacecraft.
Or possibly a private spacecraft with permission to land granted by the Chinese living there.

LOL! I was wondering if he was going to rename “Moon”.

First things first.

Let’s take the moon first and use the moon as a base to conguer mars.

Uniforms have too much of Nazi vibe.

We got there first. U.S. military officers disembarked onto an uninhabited place and planted the American flag. We can claim it.

To me, the uniform looks like a Hollywood uniform for the villains. The Star Trek uniforms provide a kinder, gentler look.

It has to be trolling:

Imperial Forces:

US Space Forces:

But admittedly, with Trump, it is hard to tell! I just enjoy the screeches of protest from the Left on these things, so I don't really care!

Space is like Antarctica. Nations can go there but any territorial claims aren’t recognized by others. There is a US station at the South Pole but no other nation recognizes the US owns the South Pole and they could set up a station right beside it. Trump could also say the US owns the Sun to similar effect.
