Donald Trump said ‘the moon is part of Mars’ and the responses were out of this world

Great. First Trump destroys America, now he's giving the moon to Mars.

Trump will also announce tonight that he has gotten Mars to give back the moon to the US

This evening, Trump will claim that he didn’t say the moon is part of Mars

Three weeks ago, Trump announced that we're going back to the Moon. Just now, Trump said that going back to the Moon is a stupid idea. Then he said that the Moon is a part of Mars. And he can't figure out why everyone thinks he's an idiot.

JFK: "We choose to go to the Moon and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard"
Trump: "The moon is part of Mars. Jelly is made of fluff. Rain is badgers sneezing"

Next Donald Trump will announce that the Moon is a part of Mars-a-Lago.

I would normally forgive this as just badly worded, but Trump is also a very stable dummy and might actually think the moon is part of Mars.

Look, we all know that what he was trying to say was that a return visit to the Moon would very likely be an essential preliminary phase of any eventual Mars mission.
But that would have involved Trump typing the word “preliminary”.

Wait…ok…I understand you didn’t intend to imply that the Moon is a part of Mars…but, like, if going to the Moon is part of doing bigger things…shouldn’t we….talk…about it?

Just to clear up any confusion you probably don’t have.
Mars has its own moons. They’re called Phobos and Deimos. But the moon that Trump refers to orbits the Earth and has nothing to do with Mars other than being part of our solar system.

To conclude …
So this week Trump continued his feud with a dead man, picked a new one with Bette Midler, attacked a royal family member, said Ireland should build a wall on its border with N. Ireland, that he didn't serve in Vietnam b/c it was far away, & the moon was part of Mars. Cool cool.
