While 4 astronauts are on a historic trip around the moon, Trump is proposing to slash NASA's budget by almost 50%.

Everything Trump does undermines the very things that make America great.

The source of our nation’s strengths and “soft” power lies in our many contributions to science and the humanities.

This is something a spokesman for our autocrats and oligarchs view with contempt.

The wealth of goodwill accumulated over generations holds no value to avaricious fools.

To Trump, what's great about America is him. That's it. Whatever he wants to do is great. He should be the primary financial beneficiary and if giving largesse to his sponsors (who give kickback "tributes" to him) can benefit him in any way its great, too.

It's really like preenlightenment

European kingdoms. The feudal society serves the king. Not the otherwise around. Things that serve the nation are expendable.

The ballroom is his Versailles. The wrecked French economy is a portend.

Just tell Trump he can build a casino and golf course on the moon and get the funding back.

It's a way for him to force the use of private companies.
