Trump in Space -- Evil or Stupid? Yes.

This is so silly.  Can he really be serious about this?  Sure, at least he thinks he can.  Will he actually be able to do it?  Almost certainly not.

Yesterday Hair Furor formally announced his intention to create a new branch of the military, the "Space Force."  He first floated the idea back in March.  Apparently ignorant that neither the president nor the Pentagon can create another branch of military service (only Congress can do that), yesterday's 2-minute reality show was packed with classic Drumpf delusion, bluster and word salad.  Mike Pence and Mrs. Mitch McConnell joined the show in supporting roles as smiling bobbleheads.

If you watch the brief video, you'll note that fake prez says:

• "Important."  (Said it six times.  Must have been his Word Builder word of the day.)
• "Beyond the earth and into those forbidden skies."  (Forbidden skies?  WTF?)
•  We're going to have the Air Force and we're going to have the Space Force.  Separate but equal."  (OMG!  That's from Plessy v. Ferguson, one of the worst Supreme Court decisions ever, wherein the court found no problem with racial segregation.)
• "It's not enough to have our presence in space, we must have American dominance in space."  (Because we're America, bitch!)
• "The future belongs totally to us."  (I think I hear the Hitler Youth singing.)

Only Herr Drumpf could make space flight sound racist, fascist and imperialistic all at once.





And who in his right mind could ever be comforted by the prospect of Sith Lord Trump and his Death Star?
