Trump administration seeks to rename 2 Florida bases for Space Force: report

Two Florida military bases involved in Space Force operations may be renamed by order of top Trump administration officials.

A renaming ceremony was ordered to coincide with Space Force’s first birthday, according to a report by Defense One.

U.S. officials are pushing back on the U.S. Air Force plans because the changes reportedly violate a “gentleman’s agreement” with congressional staffers who asked the military not to rename any bases until after Donald Trump signs the fiscal 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, Defense One reported.

The name-change proposing bill also contains legislation to create a commission to oversee the renaming of bases named after Confederate soldiers.

Trump does support renaming military bases. Just not the ones named after anti-American traitors who abused Black people!
