I assume he means that going to the moon is a step in the process of going to Mars.

But it's hard to be certain.

It is only with great reluctance that I'm even linking to this. I had started to do this earlier today, but I had backed out. Since Popehat was getting into this, I figured I might as well give it a go as well.

For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!

People, stop making fun of the President of the United States over minor verbal infelicities. Clearly he meant that the Moon is part of Mars for purposes of Space Force jurisdiction. They're both Omega Quadrant.

Thank you for defending my honor.

There has been a lot of speculation today about my relationship status and I would just like to clear things up. I am with the Earth and have been for quite sometime and we are very happy together.

1. Part of the moon?

God help us!

[BlueJac]

2. This man is fucking crazy!!

[gratuitous]

3. Nope, I'm gonna go with Trump thinks the Moon is part of Mars

If a grown man can't express himself any better than this, he deserves whatever he gets. I'm tired to the bone of media chuckleheads coming on to tell America what Trump "really meant." His own words speak for themselves.

4. I think what he means is "Hey NASA, quit spending money

on things like climate change studies and more efficient airplanes and vehicles and, well, science... spend all of your money on going back to the moon or Mars or something."

[underpants]

5. You all aren't connecting the dots on this

How do you think he’s planning on launching SPACE FORCE ships ?????

Steam powered catapults. That’s how!


Actually as I posted elsewhere- this is what happens when you tweet from Uranus

[dalton99a]

6. "Focus on the much bigger things including My Ass (of which My Brain is a part)"

[BumRushDaShow]

7. +1

[lunatica]

11. Or focus on my mouth which is part of my anus.

[blueinredohio]

8. Maybe he means when you get to the moon, take a left that will get you to Mars.

[ananda]

9. Haven't we been to the moon several times already?

Sheesh

[hatrack]

10. If we should not be talking about going to the moon, then why include the moon?

Nope, not cutting him a femtometer of slack.

He can start making sense, or he can (better yet) shut the fuck up.

[lunatica]

12. So now what in the world can Pence talk about?!

He’s been pushing so hard on returning to the moon!

[awesomerwb1]

13. Nope.

[Skraxx]

14. "Al Gore Invented the Internet" was the bar the GOP set, so, no benefit of the doubt for shithead

It's not up to me to parse his idiocy. He thinks the moon is part of Mars and he can go fuck himself sideways.

[dchill]

15. I must have not been paying attention...

... when the moon was absorbed by the much larger Mars Corporation.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

17. They're privately owned, so they don't have to file reports with the SEC. NT

[tymorial]

16. He is an imbicile

I give a pass to his supporters in 2016 believing that some/many were just misguided and duped but anyone that votes for him next year will get no support our defense from me. Voting for Trump is a vote for incompetence and idiocy.. not to mention racism, homophobia, misogyny and general bigotry.

[maxsolomon]

19. No, he's not.

He's an ignoramus, but there's a technique at work here.

[maxsolomon]

18. Never a dull moment.

He's got you shaking your head in wonderment, baffled by his bullshit.

[UTUSN]

20. A SHITLER "tower" on every rock!1

[Thomas Hurt]

21. If so you have to talk about it....

I seem to remember reading where we were going to have to work out living on the Moon first and then go to Mars.

He just wasn't typing a coherent thought.
