• He used the event to confirm that U.S. Space Command will relocate its headquarters from Colorado to Huntsville, Alabama.
• Social media chatter spiked over the weekend, with Newsweek reporting more than 158,000 X posts including the phrase "TRUMP IS DEAD."
• Press-pool photos showed Trump leaving the White House and golfing in Virginia, and he posted "NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE" on Truth Social.
