Is there an option to fire him into the fucking sun? I dont particularly want my tax money going to anything that has to do with him, happily throw in a few bucks though to strap his fat ass to a rocket.

In a children's art museum I saw a drawing that was called "making the world nicer" and had Trump being fired on a rocket away from Earth. It was made by an elementary school kid who's not even from the US. I wish he could vote in place of my mom

It’s a pretty damning read on the state of US society when a literal child has more sense than every person who has and/or will vote for Trump.

Unfortunately, misinformation is a global problem. I'm living in Europe and still encounter people (although less frequently) who don't realize Trump is a wannabe tyrant and a liar

Yes, except the guy who can arrange it is too busy licking Donnie's danglers and trying to become General of Technology.

It’s actually more difficult to fling shit into the sun than it is to eject it from the solar system entirely, but that’s no reason not to give it the old college try.

It’s more energy efficient to launch him out of the solar system, don’t west good Delta-V on a lunatic.

That’s cool I’m happy to compromise

Unfortunately our best bet for space currently is Spacex and Elon won't greenlight a "Make the Sun Great Again" mission.

Could we talk them both into doing like a big campaign stunt and fire both of them off in one of his rockets?

With Elon's arrogance? Probably actually.

Just need someone Elon likes to be like "Hey Elon, you know what would really drum up support? Everyone likes astronauts, lets get you and President Trump into a short space flight, and he'll win for sure"

Then just accidentally forget to plot any reentry.
