Clint Eastwood was in it. Because that is Trump's whole campaign...men put out to pasture like Gingrinch, Christie, Gulliani, James Woolsey, and all the rest. All of his campaign 'depth' are people who's careers are over. This is their only chance at meaningful work and power.

In my master's program Space Cowboys b/c they were so out in space with their ideas. I remember they would open their mouths and the most ridiculous nonsense would come out. Much like Trump and his cohorts, actually.
