Nobody said that Donald Trump is an astronomer but maybe he should read a couple of books on the subject or at the very least get someone with even the shakiest grasp of the night sky to point out things to him.
Two of the first things should be that the massive yellowy-white thing in the sky about 240,000 miles away is the moon while the small reddish dot approximately 150 million miles away is a Planet called Mars.
Once he has taken that on board maybe they could explain that the Moon and Mars are not the same thing because judging by his tweet today he is struggling with that concept.
'For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon – We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science' Trump tweeted to much shock and derision.
To be fair when he once declared himself 'a very stable genius' he obviously wasn't talking about his knowledge of the Solar System, and maybe he was a tired after all that excitement recently but this is yet another example of why having someone as dumb as a bag of spanners running your country is not the best idea.
Your President America, well done.

yeah, the american press is stupid about this too, just like you.
NASA thinks we need to establish a base on the moon to go to Mars. so, going to Mars, by default, means going to the moon.
you do not know how to be fair. you are a journalist, remember? so quit pretending to be fair.
If someone says something so window shakingly dumb, can't ignore it.
so, you can only understand literal things... weak
...They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part)...
So when he said ...including Mars (of which the Moon is a part)... he didn't mean Mars of which the Moon is part? Confusing this saying things which don't mean what you say.
