Trump hasn’t ruled out friends on Mars

Trump did an interview with that Joe Rogan fella, who is apparently very popular with the bro contingent or something. Said one stupid thing after another, so what else is new?

But this is a bit special:

Trump said that he hadn’t ruled out there being life in space.

“There’s no reason not to think that Mars and all these planets don’t have life,” he said, referring to discussions he’d had with jet pilots who’d seen “very strange” things in the sky.

He meant “there’s no reason to think” or “all these planets do have life” but never mind, we can’t expect him to keep track of all those nots. Anyway that’s special because there is in fact every reason to think that Mars and all these planets don’t have life. There is now a lot of evidence on the subject and it all points to nope. What he means is that he doesn’t know of any reason to think there’s no life on Mars, because he’s a profoundly ignorant sack of wind.

    Don’t think he means Europa (and that’s looking increasingly less promising)…

    His next line after Rogan pointed out that probes and rovers had found nothing on Mars was a real ‘no shit, Sherlock’ moment.

    “Maybe it’s life that we don’t know about,”

    One of his namesake, Rumsfeld’s , unknown unknowns’, perhaps? But joking aside, I thought that a sitting president was not allowed to carry on personal business, and yet our boy openly brags about suggesting to Kim Jong-un that they go into business together.

    “I said: ‘You’re always building nuclear, you don’t have to do it. Relax!’ I said: ‘Let’s build some condos on your shore.’”

    And then there’s his ridiculous health claims.

    When passing a physical, they asked me to run on a treadmill and then they make it steeper and steeper and steeper and the doctors said, it was at Walter Reed [hospital], they said: ‘It’s unbelievable!’ I’m telling you, I felt I could have gone all day.” But he said treadmills are “really boring” so he prefers to stay healthy by playing golf.

    Of course he does; it’s much more exciting and far better exercise being driven around golf courses in a buggy.
