"The president and I want to get to the moon in this president's term" - Sean Duffy NASA administrator.

A scary way to set a schedule on a complex project with lives at stake. They don't care though.

The silver lining is that they are operating under the assumption that he will leave office at the conclusion of his term.

This is the trolling equivalent of "embrace, extend, extinguish." They are mocking the people who believe it by amplifying it, making Trump 2028 merch, etc.

I personally think Trump will be too old to run, but I don’t think for a second they won’t try to run him if he’s able. They always start by making it a “joke”.

That's what they said about the "Mass Deportations Now" signs at the RNC 2024 campaign events.

No, they pretty openly campaigned on that.

Trump was shot while the slide showing the illegal border crossing chart under the Biden admin and talking about how much work it was going to be to send everyone back.

Yes. Even sent a bunch of Trump 2028 hats to Gavin Newsom.

I agree, I'm talking about the disingenuous double talk they'd give when pressed, anyone who made a big deal about it was overreacting, it's just a joke (but not really) to trigger liberals, haha look at how upset you're getting, etc.

I don’t ever remember deportations being a joke. From Laken Riley and more it was probably the most serious campaign point.

There were a lot of jokes around things that will never happen, like a 3rd term.
