President Donald Trump wants to make Ronald Reagans long-ridiculed Star Wars missile defense program from the 1980s a reality.
And he insists that new tech can finally make it happen.
However, as the most powerful person in the country, Trump has the power to make things happen.

As Commander-in-Chief, my focus is on building the most powerful military of the future.
But now we have the technology.
Its incredible, actually.
And other places that have it, Israel has it.
Other places have it.
And the United States should have it, too.
Trump kicked off his pursuit of Reagans Star Wars onJan.
27when he issued an executive order calling for the creation of a next-generation missile defense shield.
At the time, detractors likened the system to something like attempting to shoot a bullet with another bullet.
The problem Trump now faces is making a missile defense shield that covers the entire United States.
Israels Iron Dome system obviously protects a much smaller area from short-range rockets.
Does Trump expect rocket attacks from Canada or Mexico soon?
Such a question wouldve been absurd in any other era.
The executive order doesnt lay out specifics about how the Golden Dome would be constructed.
But Trump keeps insisting hes trying to cut government spending.
This brings you to the problem that Congress is supposed to fund projects like this.
Illegality isnt going to stop Trump, obviously.
Will Trump pull off a shiny new missile defense shield?
Everything seems up in the air at the moment, including who might be considered Americas allies.
Trump has slapped tariffs on Canada and Mexico while threatening to hit Europe next.
There are reports the Trump regime plans to drop sanctions against Russia while imposing much smaller tariffs on China.
The U.S. could have a new missile defense system funded entirely by programs cut by Secretary Hegseth.
Americans should be prepared for anything.
