Putting aside the fact that a) "Space Force" is a joke and b) the proposed logos look ridiculous...

....if we're to take them seriously that "Space Force" is actually going to be a legitimate branch of the US military, why is the Trump campaign soliciting input on the logos on its own campaign website?

Is there some certain, you know, conflict of interests here?

Voters think everything for them will be solved if we claim Mars?

Trump monetizes everything, and will be selling this junk even if the "Space Force" is never actually created - and it probably won't be. The Air Force already does the same work the "Space Force" is supposed to do.

and he said that several presidents before Trump have actually looked into a "space force."

I hate the idea, partly because it's from Trump, mostly because we have a lot of other problems we can solve with all that money. Seems like a money grab from the rich defense contractors.
