Trump Orders US Physicists to "Manipulate Space and Time"

Michael Kratsios appointed by Trump to be Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology to "make US physics great again", promptly delivered during a major science and technology conference the following message:

• The US now possesses technology that can “manipulate time and space” and “leave distance annihilated.”

No doubt that would bring US physics back to the leading position of the Manhattan Project producing "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" dropped on Japan on August 6-9 1945, followed by the Apollo Moon Project as "Big Step for Humanity", which was then lost as US physicists left real space and time to go into many-worlds quantum mechanics and string theory in 11 space dimensions.

This sends a message to the World that the US is now back to the lead with powers to create "Hell never seen before". 

But what is then the new physics of "bending/manipulating space and time" and "annihilating distance"?

Is it simply the 100 year old theory of relativity with its "space contraction" and "time dilation" all just appearances without substance, or the 50 year old string theory on its way out?

Or does "annihilate distance" mean that Einstein's light speed limit can now be overcome by a nuclear powered Musk space ship which can accelerate to any speed and so will be able to reach the nearest star Proxima Centauri in less than 50 minutes and the Andromeda Galaxy in under a year?
