Literally like a scene from a comedy movie except even that parody president was less incoherent. Itd be almost funny in a sad sort of way if he wasnt, well, in charge of a massive military. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Hs8mRs_k6j0?start=17&end=36

Is there a source other than rawstory? They tend to churn out made up copium.

Despicable He
Oh come on. Everyone knows that after planting the flag, Neil Armstrong licked the ground and by official playground rules... Mine! Was declared making the moon property of the US 😂

The moon, sun, solar system, universe, reality. All belong to him, inside of Trump's shriveled brain.
The Orange Pedo thinks that is where little girls live.
"Fear" If I leave the water on in the bathtub for 4 hours and "fear" the floor in the bathroom is wet, there is a problem in my noggin.
I'm not fearing it. I'm hoping. Spiral faster!
Does he have a flag?
Yes!

However, the US is a member of the Outer Space Treaty, so it can't claim celestial bodies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty
Article II of the treaty explicitly forbids any government from "appropriating" a celestial body such as the Moon or a planet, whether by declaration, use, occupation, or "any other means".
I don't think Trump recognizes the validity of any treaty
"This stupid treaty was signed by Lyndon B Johnson. Some say the B stood for 'Big'. He had a Big Johnson (accordion hands). Not as big as my Johnson. Everyone knows I'm 'uge. Just ask Ivanka. Or Melania. Or Stormy. No don't ask Stormy, she's a nasty woman who tells the truth....No! She lies! Nasty, nasty woman!"

Ah, but the trick is that A) Trump doesn't care and B) the treaty says nothing about selling the moon off to corporate entities. I could definitely see this admin selling mining rights, that's why Isaacman wants a moon base as opposed to an orbital station (which was the initial plan, as a launching point for future inner and outer system exploration).
The militarization of space has not faced any opposition.
It will be an interesting time.
It's a money sink of galactic proportions, and the USA is basically out of money. No one else is opposing because they are letting the US sink itself at this point

Unfortunately some guy I saw on the local news 20 years ago already claimed it and sold most of it
