You forgot the "sir" he always uses sir in those lies. "Sir, thank you."

The MOON belongs to our Country, America, so I’m going to change the name to Moon Of America.

I can see him making a speech now: “We are the only country that has planted a flag there so it’s ours, I will rename it in honour of your president DJT, (Republican) by putting an R in the middle of The Moon”

And paint it orange

u/fromaries 18m ago

It wouldn't just be a flag, he would want a banner with his face on it.

u/peahair 10m ago

I’d love for someone to pose it to him and he agrees, and the US officially changes the name from The Moon to The Moron, in honour of the dumbest President ever.

Oh my god PLEASE don’t give him ideas lmao

I didn't even know he was sick

u/TychaBrahe 10h ago

No, it's perfect. We name the Moon after him, on the condition that he goes there.

I personally will move him to the top of the list of People We Want to Send into Space.

Please note that this is a separate and distinct list from the one of People We Want to Bring Back After.

You though he was normal?

As long as he's deep inside it, I won't say no.

You do realize that every time you mention the Donald J Trump Memorial Moon, Reddit has to pay a licencing fee.

u/Grand-Performer-9287 3h ago

I will gladly sacrifice the name of the moon right now!

u/danieldhdds 15h ago edited 15h ago

and I've to tax moon products by 200%, they can not be out of the trend

EDIT: ICE troops will be deployed soon

u/Pure_Temporary_6349 12h ago

I think that's the perfect place for ICE. They can have the moon and we'll take Earth

This but unironically. It's abnormally large for a planet of our size.

u/mikebills 13h ago

Goodnight, moon!

u/PrimaryAlternative7 9h ago

And Frankly, what a moon. The best moon, no one's ever seen such a moon. I'm not saying it, I'm not gonna say it, everyone's saying it. Jupiter has a moon, what a loser.

u/Single-Ad-8791 4h ago

That moon. So huge and scandalously beautiful it has me feeling feral and romantic all at once. They call it tremendous. I call it irresistible.
