MODERATORS
Politics, statesmanship, moral superiority and a sense of citizenry.
That cunt would stink up the place with his fucking diaper.
Prove it
he would likely have a heart attack if is put in the test centrifuges.
Test centrifuge?
Obviously he’s ready to go. Put a gold toilet on top of a falcon 9 and light the fucker
I don’t see the problem here
Heart attack? He'd be a blood stain like he was on the boys.
This seems like a desirable outcome to me
Cool, lets send you on a very important mission to investigate the surface of the Sun.
It takes less delta-v to launch something out of the solar system than into the sun. Cheaper that way.
Yeah but I think it would be worth it in this case
Ha, I actually thought of that, but I was like "screw it I'm gonna make the joke anyway". It would take take the most tremendous, big, beautiful rocket you've ever seen folks. Tremendous thrust, huge. But hey, worth it, right? We can't risk some alien species getting a hold of him and thinking that's what your average human is like.
Even cheaper to just send him to orbit and foret about him... That or a bullet.
He's right. We should try it.
I would love to see what happens to 40 BMI at 4G.
Just be sure to double bag him so his shit doesn't leak. The crew doesn't deserve that.
Crew? Only dear leader deserves to be the first man to walk on the Sun.
As funny as it would be to launch him into the sun, that's not the best option.
It would be WAY funnier for him to directly suffer the consequences of his demands. Imagine the headlines.
"Trump Skips Health Checks For Space Travel, Dies On Liftoff"
You think that's good? Wait till you see 40 BMI at 0G and 80 years.
Edit: all those skin flaps...

Meanwhile, this dumbass has been cutting funding for science.
Asshole.
Remember when he said he would run into a school shooting with or without a gun to save children. Dude is just naturally funny. Not sure why they made him president, but he sure is funny
How can anyone find this shit funny? It's malignant narcissism. There is nothing funny about it.
As a child, if I saw Trump running toward me, I'd probably feel safer with the shooter
Like Nick Kroll said, dude is entertaining. But give him a talk show, not a government position.
Hes president to distract from the ones truly in charge. (Hegseth, Vance, Newsom, miller etc.)
Just like kash patel but there its less distraction more controllability.
This mother fucker thinks he's smart enough and in good enough shape to be an astronaut! One of the astronauts had trouble walking when she got back. So let's see it. Send Trump's ass on the next one. First president in space! What a triumph that would be!
Actually this could be our chance. He thinks he can do it, so can everyone chime in to make this mission happen?

Anyone else notice that there's a LOT of photos of him sitting? When previous presidents hosted people in the Oval Office, did they sit at the Resolute Desk? Because I do not recall this...
FDR sure sat down a lot. Sus.
Is that supposed to be an image?
You can't see it? It's a polar bear blinking in a snowstorm.
Let alone slumped over as much as he is, even when awake.
The necromancer is growing weary
Good, go to sleep necromancer, start work tomorrow using a different corpse. Trump is the Steven seagal of politics.
did they burst out laughing?
It'd be hard to laugh after being insulted that bad.
Right this way into the cargo bay, sir
