Trump Proposes 'Greatest Dome Ever' for U.S. Missile Defense
Experts Question Feasibility of Plan, Comparisons Drawn to Reagan's 'Star Wars' Program
- Former President Donald Trump has proposed building a 'state-of-the-art missile defense shield' over the entire U.S., similar to Israel's Iron Dome.
- Trump's proposal has been met with skepticism, as the U.S. military has already invested heavily in missile defense development with limited results.
- Experts note that the Iron Dome system is designed to intercept short-range missiles, which is not a primary concern for the U.S. given its geographical location and the nature of threats it faces.
- Trump's proposal is reminiscent of the Reagan-era 'Star Wars' missile defense program, which was ultimately scrapped due to technological limitations.
- Trump's mental fitness has been questioned by political opponents, following a series of public gaffes.
