He is WAY too smart to ever buy into the Donald Trump style of snake oil.
PEACE!

Well that takes a lot of control.
I believe Aldrin trolled dump with the Buzz Lightyear quote, "To infinity and beyond". Keeping it simple for the idiot.

(41,756 posts)Reading from his speech, Trump had a poignant comment about discovery and a journey that will not only make us stronger and more prosperous but will unite us behind grand ambitions and bring us all closer together. But the moment was short-lived as Trump ad libbed, Wouldnt that be nice? Can you believe that space is going to do that?
Trump then sat down at the table to sign the executive order. I know what this is. Space! he announced, enthusiastically.
Aldrin again seemed uncomfortable. To infinity and beyond! he joked, and those at the event chuckled.
Trump missed the joke.
This is infinity here. It could be infinity. We dont really dont know. But it could be. It has to be something but it could be infinity, right? he said and signed the order.
