I think I had a good explanation of Trump's Mars-Moon tweet today. No seriously

This morning I saw a headline that NASA will allow private citizens to go to the International Space Station. Perhaps Trump saw that too.

Now Trump is pissed because:
A. He's probably too old
B. He probably wouldn't pass the physical
C. (Most importantly) He couldn't afford it if he could go.

But you know who can afford it? Jeff Bezos.

I think Trump wanted somehow to distract from what he'd seen earlier in the day by sort of claiming he already done it or was making all this possible.
