Could there be more moronic speculation?

The President's press secretary was forced to address the most ridiculous online speculation imaginable.

What moron would think that extraterrestrials (presumably intelligent life from another galaxy) would (or could) transverse light years in space in a fucking balloon?

WTF.

The question came from a reporter from some obscure web site.

The question was prefaced with "everyone is saying". You know that old Trump preamble to get the moron ball rolling.

Thank Fox news for the "some people say" "some are saying" and any other version. They introduced that one in the late 90's

I absolutely think there is intelligent life elsewhere in this universe. The mathematical odds are in favor of that belief.

I just don't think that a normal person would believe that their method of transportation from one galaxy to another would be a balloon.

Unless one thought that the Wizard of Oz was non-fiction.
