Trump references Alabama’s stunning defeat in Space Command announcement as Tuberville gloats about Auburn

President Donald Trump announces the Space Force command center will move from Colorado to Huntsville, Ala., which will be known as 'Rocket City.’

President Donald Trump made a brief reference to Alabama’s stunning loss to Florida State over the weekend when he announced Tuesday that Space Command headquarters would move from Colorado to Huntsville, Alabama.

Trump was thanking Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville for his efforts in the relocation process when he noted that the former Auburn coach wasn't too familiar with such upsets. 

"Tommy Tuberville, who's a great coach. And I won't say anything about what happened with Alabama football this weekend. But you're not used to that, right?" Trump said referring to the success Tuberville had as Auburn head coach.

Tuberville took the opportunity to support his former team, noting Auburn's win over Baylor on Friday night. The stark comparison between both games drew a laugh from the room full of media.

"Auburn won, that’s right. So, you’re happy," Trump responded.

Auburn went on the road and beat Baylor 38-24 on Friday to begin its season 1-0, unlike Alabama, its bitter rival.
