Trump will reopen NASA; put men in space

[left-of-center2012]

Trump (6/20) at a rally in Duluth: “We are going to re-open NASA and put men into space” ...
Reality: NASA isn't shut down, and we currently have men/women in space aboard the International Space Station.

President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Duluth, Minnesota Tuesday ... the president used the rally as an opportunity to score easy applause lines from his base ...

He praised Kim Jong-un, saying the dictator would make his country a great success.
He stroked his own ego, bragging about how he was more elite than “the elitists.”
But bizarrely, he claimed he would “reopen NASA.”

1. I'm 52 prior service

I wonder if space force could use me. I’ll stop by a recruiting office.

2. As a former 10 year employee at NASA

i weep for my former agency.

We were the crown jewel of the federal government (failure is not an option).

3. i think Samantha Bee or someone said this was likely the hoped for Distraction

5. This

It's b******* to geek up his idiot Base. No f****** way Congress is going to start pumping money back in the NASA after this point after taking the hit for pretty much defunding it.

7. Isn't the whole "space force" proposal an extension of Dear Leader's "I'm a big, tough guy"

schtick? He doesn't want to go back to space for exploration or science. He wants a space military force . . . to be some savior of the universe. It's reality show morphing into animated series.

8. Only way is that Congress appropriates funds for this ... rump has nothing to do w/ ...

funding in things such as the 'space force' that all of a sudden, he's so hot for. Probably wants it because there is no where on earth where he can claim something in his name...
