During a news briefing, President Donald Trump discussed the plight of astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, who have been stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) since June 2024. He blamed the previous administration for their predicament and humorously speculated on their potential romance, despite their marriages. Trump announced that Elon Musk would be preparing a mission to rescue the astronauts and asserted that he wouldn’t allow them to remain in space any longer. Several comments highlighted the surreal nature of the situation and revealed Trump's aim to engage with the astronauts without serious consideration of their personal lives.
We're coming up to get you, and you shouldn't have been up there so long. The most incompetent president in our history has allowed that to happen to you, but this president won't let it happen.
I hope they like each other. Maybe they'll love each other, I don't know. But they've been left up there, think of it.
I have just asked Elon Musk and @SpaceX to go get' the 2 brave astronauts who have been virtually abandoned in space by the Biden Administration.
I thought he liked me. Wilmore and Williams are both married to their respective spouses.
