OP

(16,786 posts)1. How much is that endeavor going to cost??????
Trump surrounded by his lackeys, smiling broadly with no idea as to how much this is going to cost after the Tax cut he wants for his Millionaire/Billionaire class goes through, if it does.
A photo op, nothing more.

I bet most or all of those flat earthers voted for him. How will they be convinced that there really is another planet?

I mean, he says he's loaded. Right?

(12,155 posts)17. and subject him to Vogon poetry.
Vogon poetry is, of course, the third worst in the universe. The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Kria. During a recitation by their poet master Grunthos the Flatulent of his poem "Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning", four of the audience members died of internal hemorrhaging and the president of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived only by gnawing one of his own legs off.
Grunthos was reported to have been "disappointed" by the poem's reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his 12-book epic entitled "My Favourite Bathtime Gurgles" when his own large intestine - in a desperate attempt to save life itself - leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain.
The very worst poetry of all perished along with its creator, Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Sussex, in the destruction of the planet Earth. Vogon poetry is mild by comparison.

Atman
(31,464 posts)9. Just another one of his toothless objectives.
It means nothing. He gets to sign a paper in front of cameras, then his sycophants can line up and bestow praise upon him.
