Don't you think it is strange that a president who claims US is in ruins, would choose to spend billions of dollars on something like this?

I think trump says a lot of things "off the cuff" and this statement consistent with that.

Under Obama, America has to ask Putin for a rides on his spaceships to put Americans into space. Our rockets are using Russian built engines. To the globalist Obama this is OK. Do you think it is OK too?

Or just the biggest one you currently recognize.

They just got into the business.. This is not a pushcart! But I do believe private $ make it up there faster than fed money. Why? Because Feds make a mile stone in history. Private rocket ships want to make $$$

Trump didn't sign anything into law.

It's part of his budget, which has to approved.

Another major fail by the OP.
