Trump Orders Space Force to Discover Other Planets with Courts

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a sign that he is not ready to give up his legal challenge to the 2020 election, Donald J. Trump has ordered the United States Space Force to discover other planets that have courts.

With his legal options on this planet dwindling, Trump is placing all of his hopes on identifying another planet that might have intergalactic jurisdiction over Earth.

On the heels of his Space Force announcement, astronomers expressed deep skepticism that a planet with a functioning legal system could be located before the Electoral College casts its votes on Monday.

But, in a sentiment shared by many Republicans, Senator Kelly Loeffler, of Georgia, said that she “totally supports” Trump’s decision to seek justice on another planet. “Let’s let the process play out,” she said.

Well, that may be Trump's ideal world, but what we can't forget, Trump hasn't succeeded at anything

He ran his father's lucrative and successful business into the ground with the changes he made until he had nothing to sell but his name. And we all know how that turned out, Trump steaks, Trump vodka and the infamous Trump University! I have always believed that the only reason he decided to run was as a desperate money making scheme. He never intended or wanted to do the job - which he obviously hasn't - he just wanted the campaign contributions and thought that would be the end of it.

We've long known that "everything that Trump touches dies." And so ends his unsuccessful, deplorable presidency. But this time he's bitten off more than he can chew. In the past, his dishonesty wasn't in the spotlight and he was able to call in favors from his cronies and manage to get by. But he's no longer dealing with cronies and, if he had ever paid the slightest attention to history or world events, he'd have realized that everything that a president says or does is automatically subject to intense scrutiny.

So this time he not only has to answer to the U.S legal system, but most of his "appointments" aka cronies have, too. So I don't predict a successful post presidency for Trump. I'm counting that his crimes that he can no longer hide are about to catch up with him.
