What this country needs is an inspirational space program. I'll bet @realDonaldTrump could do it.

Donald Trump tells 10-year-old that 'space is terrific' but potholes are more important, Washington Post
"You know, in the old days, it was great," Trump told the boy, along with an audience of more than 600. "Right now, we have bigger problems -- you understand that? We've got to fix our potholes. You know, we don't exactly have a lot of money." But it's not that Trump doesn't love space. After all, he once tweeted in August 2012: "It is very sad to see what @BarackObama has done with NASA. He has gutted the program and made us dependent on the Russians."
