Two NASA astronauts have been stuck in space for eight months, thanks to Biden’s incompetence, but President Trump isn’t letting them stay abandoned any longer. While signing executive orders in the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump vowed to bring them home, announcing that Elon Musk’s SpaceX is stepping in to fix yet another Biden-era disaster.
“Elon is right now preparing a ship to go up and get them,” Trump told Fox News’ Peter Doocy. “We love you, and we’re coming up to get you, and you shouldn’t have been up there so long.”
Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were stranded at the International Space Station after Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft failed—a mission that was only supposed to last eight days. Instead, thanks to technical failures and mismanagement, NASA deemed it too dangerous to bring them home. The Starliner eventually returned to Earth—completely unmanned.
And here’s where it gets worse: Joe Biden had the chance to fix it but refused Musk’s help. One of the astronauts recently confirmed that Biden declined an offer from Musk to use SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft to get them home, as reported by the New York Post.
Trump didn’t hold back, calling out Biden for abandoning American astronauts in space simply because he was too embarrassed to admit failure.
“The most incompetent president in our history has allowed that to happen to you, but this president won’t let that happen,” Trump declared.
MAGA to the Rescue—SpaceX Leads The Way
Now that a real leader is back in charge, NASA has greenlit SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft for a rescue mission. The launch is set for Wednesday, where it will rendezvous with the International Space Station and bring Wilmore and Williams home safely after a brief handover period.
This isn’t just about space travel—it’s about leadership, competence, and America First. Trump is cleaning up yet another disaster left by Biden, and it took Elon Musk and the private sector to step in where the government failed.
Trump’s Classic Humor on Full Display
Of course, Trump being Trump, he couldn’t resist adding some humor to the situation.
“Should I go on that journey just to be on the ship when we stop?” Trump jokingly asked Doocy.
“If that’s an option, yes,” Doocy responded.
“I should do it,” Trump laughed. “That’s terrible. I thought he liked me.”
When another reporter suggested that Trump stay on Earth, he grinned and quipped, “She likes me better.”
America First—Even in Space
This mission isn’t just about bringing two astronauts home—it’s a symbol of what happens when leadership fails and when strong leadership steps in to fix it. Biden was willing to leave Americans stranded rather than admit he botched the mission. Trump is proving once again that under his watch, America takes care of its own.
SpaceX’s rescue mission is a victory for American ingenuity, real leadership, and putting politics aside to do the right thing. It’s MAGA in orbit.
