He claimed ownership of Venezuelan oil, Greenland, Canada and whatever he whims, so…
Will Trump make an executive order claiming that the Moon is America’s?
“It’s a simple question, Doctor. Would you eat the moon if it were made of ribs?”
It’s not too bad as he isn’t saying the moon is a projection or that the earth is flat, like many of his followers. But the fact there is something seriously wrong is what we all know since he first ran for president, or even before that. Nothing has changed ever since. The guy is deranged. He’s like Hitler, while missing a few chromosomes.
Comparing Trump to Hitler is a disparage to Hitler
Onlookers fear ‘something very wrong’ with Trump as he claims US ownership of the moon - Raw Story
Hitler essentially had 10s of millions murdered.
Is there a source other than rawstory? They tend to churn out made up copium.
Hard to tell if this is parody or not.
They can’t even take a strait, or maintain equipment, and have issues with feeding their people. So yes, the us should totally try to “take” over the moon.
I wonder what would have happened if this imbecilic self-indulgence had come after China had successfully launched Chang’e 7. And by “wonder” I mean “dread”.
Chang’e 7, whose launch has been delayed, is a highly ambitious and comprehensive (uncrewed) lunar mission incorporating four separate vehicles into a single launch and mission: orbiter, fixed lander, rover, and - an innovative “hopper”, which has been previously implemented (by Japan) for landing on a small asteroid, but never a world as large as Luna, or as difficult to navigate.
This is definitely one of the most ambitious space probes ever to be assembled. One might even say the most ambitious, when you consider that the landing site is remarkably close to the South Pole - not the easier or safest region to visit, let alone properly explore. If this mission were going beyond Luna, I’d probably rank it in the same league as Viking or Cassini-Huygens - and in fact, depending on its longevity and science return, I ultimately might have to anyway.
Some have gone so far as to say that this mission represents the point where China’s spaceflight abilities are challenging, or even exceeding, the USA’s. I’ll leave that debate to the side here while noting that the science return from Chang’e 7 looks to be phenomenal and possibly groundbreaking, if they can pull this off. This isn’t a “flags and footprints” or purely nationalistic mission; China’s already done those. From the science standpoint, this looks like the real thing.
Those who consider Lunar science a dead and settled issue have some shocks coming, both geopolitically - because of the potential for exploitation of Lunar resources and development of military applications) - and scientifically. The equatorial and mid-lat regions of Earth’s Moon are not well-explored, despite what people think, with information about the origin and evolution of planets in general. And that’s before you consider that the Lunar South Pole could be a repository for comet and asteroid debris that is second to none. Explore that properly, return those samples to your labs, and you could be gathering data on the ultimate development of the atmosphere and biology on Earth.
Wtf is this chinese propaganda? Sounds like a midnight tv product sales pitch.
In this context, a pronouncement like this from the “leader”, or even the dementia-riddled tribal figurehead, of the US could be disastrous. Regardless of his proclivity to write his name in water, or the general understanding that we’re dealing with someone who was always emotionally and intellectually stunted, the world could watch as China starts to unlock the deeper potential of space science, while the USA grows aggressive and grasping in a domain where there are as yet no people, and no rules. Even with Trump gone, what do you suppose a President Hegseth or Vance would do in cislunar space? “Claiming” Luna isn’t feasible, unless you try to shoot down any craft landing there, but what about the Lagrange 2 point or the geosynchronous belt above Earth?
When you consider how Musk, Bezos and the FCC cabal have effectively been squatting in Low Earth Orbit with Starlink and other satellite constellations - to the point of crowding out other users - I wouldn’t put any of this past the post-Trump USA.
To your point, creating a Kessler Syndrome event would effectively keep any other nations from even attempting much in the way of space exploration for a few centuries. It seems that Musk and Bezos are trying to create one.
You think?
He’s clearly lost the plot and is unfit to govern.
His cronies will try to keep him in power as long as possible, so that their schemes keep getting greenlit. Also, they have stupid fucking Vance prepped up.
I wonder if Trump will run in the 2028 primaries.
At this stage he stopped having any shock value. It’s the race to the bottom as Putin and Xi are prepared for the moment the US collapses.
Well putin and trump are speed running the end of empires, I think China at this point could at least get a base working on the moon. The other two… eh maybe get there, fuck something up and die?
Anyone old enough can remember when Boris Yeltsin was stumbling around, drunk as a skunk & the other russians would pretend that everything was fine.
Now its your turn USA - and remember what came after Yeltsin
When Yeltsin passed, the average alcohol consumption worldwide fell by about 10%.
At least he didn’t have his own media outlet… “hic, I order a radio broadcast, …right now!.. I know it’s 2am… I want… I want the bestest, geatestest … USSSSSR… sSSR… I want the moon on a stick! Yes! …Hic… Give me it. Give ME the moon, NOW!.. What? No! I dshidn’t just Shay anything if the sort…yeh, the shmoon, moonsss, moonsess. Wodka? Oh loveshly thanksh…now what’s was I sayinsh?..”
Didn’t he have Russia leave the USSR.
Swan lake enters the chat…
Fuck, I thought this was bad.
This is what tipped off the “onlookers”?
‘Aghast’ is more likely that ‘they’ (probably no-one in reality) were yawning at yet another tirade of nonsense. I know what you’re thinking, there’s been articles like this for years that makes you wonder how anyone could still think something like this. This is essentially tabloid, clickbait crap. That’s why. When the mainstream papers really start calling out the lunacy (repeatedly) you’ll know it’s nearly over for him. Sadly some time away yet.
lunacy
Well done.
Thanks, I Totally meant that pun ;)
Is it really a pun if that’s where the word came from?
Never said it was but I appreciate the usage in relation to this article.
It’s just headline gore. Typical “View From Nowhere” style writing that tries to displace the perspective of the journalist onto a third party.
It’s popular among news venues that are terrified of appearing biased.
Despicable He
Jebus. This sounds like the AI psychosis spiral.
Like, I didn’t think trump was smart enough to use AI. He can’t read.
He must have found one that talks to him. And feeds everything he says to his rusky handlers.“Smart enough to use AI”? He “tweets” like a maniac and is able to just talk to an AI just the same. He definitely is on that 16 hours a day.
He’s got dementia and he confabulates. He’s probably had it starting in like 2016 and this term they are trying to not to make him angry so they just show him shit he wants to see.
Did you see that video of him talking to an AI Roosevelt and the dumb fuck was actually talking back to the AI thinking he was actually talking to Teddy. Absolute buffoonery.
No, do you remember where you saw that?
I never signed up to Facebook and I’m not using YouTube this month.
(still, I’ll give you an upvote :)
… 😐
No… No one owns the moon… I think there’s treaties.
