Wait a minute, what did Steve Benen say?
The Republican said in March 2018, in reference to a conversation he claims to have had with White House staff, “You know, I was saying it the other day, because we are doing a tremendous amount of work in space. I said, ‘Maybe we need a new force. We’ll call it Space Force.” And I was not really serious. Then I said, ‘What a great idea. Maybe we’ll have to do that.’”
More than 80 years later, Trump is seriously invested in his not-really-serious idea. [Maddowblog]
80 years ago? Man, as Donald J. Trump was birthed, he’d be wiping goo from his mouth and shrieking Space Force!
Sounds like a bad horror movie.
