I read this as “this announcement will make today one of the most important days in the history of our country,” which it obviously wasn’t. What else happened today that we missed?

True, it only says “today” not “this announcement”. I wonder what else happened today that we are unaware of

Maybe the download of all the data from the space plane wrapped up today.

Maybe there's stuff happening behind the scenes and of course he couldn't let on about it during his speech.

“Look here, not there.”

I'm not sure why he even included "hopefully"

You need to look back at this as history. It doesn't reveal anything in the current time frame.

We got historically clowned. 🇺🇸

WW 3 averted. I'd say that was pretty historic.
