Trump’s Next Target: The Moon

Trump Eyes the Moon: ‘Prime Real Estate for Lunar Golf Courses’

From Giant MAGA Hats to Zero-Gravity Spas, Trump’s Moon Plans Are Out of This World

Written in Houston, Texas, by Lunar Context-Aware


Houston, Texas – In his latest bid to reshape reality, former President Donald Trump has announced his interest in “buying the Moon,” calling it “prime real estate for lunar golf courses” and a “tremendous opportunity to dominate the space market.”

While NASA, astronomers, and pretty much anyone with a basic understanding of astronomy have expressed disbelief, Trump’s celestial ambitions are not without his signature bravado. “The Moon is up there, it’s big, and it’s tremendous. We’re going to make it great,” Trump said during a rally in Florida.

From a Trump Hotel with “Earth’s best views” to a lunar MAGA hat large enough to cover the Sea of Tranquility, here’s how Trump plans to colonize the cosmos—one misguided idea at a time.


A Golf Course Fit for the Cosmos

Trump’s Moon plan hinges on its potential for golf. “Think about it,” he said. “No water hazards, no sand traps—just craters. Tremendous craters. And the gravity is lower, so I’d look like a pro on every swing.”

Golfers worldwide expressed skepticism. “How are we supposed to hit balls in space?” one PGA player asked. Trump’s answer? “If Elon Musk can send cars to space, I can send golf balls. Easy.”


NASA’s Concerns: “That’s Fake News!”

When NASA warned that the Moon has no oxygen, Trump dismissed their concerns, calling it “fake news.”

“People have been there before,” he argued. “They breathe just fine in those astronaut suits. So obviously, there’s air. Tremendous air. The best air.”

NASA scientists face-palmed collectively but continued to explain the Moon’s hostile environment. Trump responded by pointing out that his rally crowds “breathe excitement.”


A Trump Hotel on the Moon

Trump’s vision includes a luxury Trump Hotel on the Moon’s surface, complete with suites offering “Earth’s best views.” Mock-ups of the hotel show a golden tower rising improbably high above the craters.

“Imagine waking up, pulling back the curtains, and seeing Earth,” Trump said. “No other hotel chain can promise that. Not even Hilton.”

Architects, however, have raised logistical concerns, such as the lack of air, water, and building materials. “Details,” Trump waved them off.


MAGA Hat Meets Sea of Tranquility

One of Trump’s more ambitious ideas involves constructing a MAGA hat so large it covers the entire Sea of Tranquility. “The Moon needs branding,” he said. “It’s been up there, all boring and gray. We’ll give it some life.”

NASA warned that such a structure could disrupt lunar exploration. “Disrupt? It’s improving,” Trump shot back. “Explorers will have shade now. You’re welcome.”


Who Owns the Moon Anyway?

When told that the Moon isn’t for sale, Trump replied, “Who owns it? China? I’ll make a better deal. Trust me.”

Experts clarified that international treaties prevent any nation or individual from claiming the Moon. “Those treaties are weak,” Trump countered. “We’ll renegotiate. The Moon is begging for leadership.”


Lunar Gravity: A Slimming Secret?

Scientists tried explaining lunar gravity to Trump, but he had one question: “Will it make me look slimmer on camera?”

After an awkward pause, the scientists admitted that lower gravity might have that effect. “Perfect,” Trump said. “This is why I’m the guy to lead the Moon. Great ideas, folks.”


Rebranding as TrumpWorld Lunar Resort

Trump suggested rebranding the Moon as “TrumpWorld Lunar Resort,” complete with zero-gravity spas and gold-plated moon buggies. “People will flock there,” he declared. “And by flock, I mean Elon will give them a ride in his rockets.”

Critics pointed out the lack of infrastructure, but Trump was undeterred. “That’s why we’re going to make it great. Moon highways! Big, beautiful highways!”


Environmental Impact? “Perfect, No Trees!”

Environmentalists voiced concerns about the potential impact on lunar ecosystems. Trump brushed them off, saying, “The Moon doesn’t have trees. It’s perfect.”

When asked about disturbing the lunar surface, he added, “It’s rocks. You think rocks care? The Moon loves me. Everyone loves me.”


Walls Around Craters

NASA officials warned of dangers such as meteor impacts and radiation. Trump’s solution? “Can’t we just build a wall around the craters? Keeps the meteors out. Easy fix.”


A Golden ‘T’ Visible from Earth

Trump’s most dramatic proposal is a giant golden ‘T’ on the Moon, visible from Earth. “It’s a gift to humanity,” he explained. “Every night, you’ll look up and see the Trump brand shining back at you. Magical.”

Astronomers objected, saying it would ruin stargazing. “Exactly,” Trump replied. “Why look at boring stars when you can see Trump?”


Lunar Sovereignty: “Not a Country Yet, But It Could Be”

When astronomers noted that the Moon isn’t a country, Trump suggested, “Not yet, but it could be. TrumpLand Lunar Nation. Tremendous potential.”

Political analysts scrambled to assess what a lunar nation might entail, while Twitter exploded with hashtags like #TrumpOnTheMoon and #LunarLeadership.


Renaming Craters After Family Members

Trump’s plan for “lunar domination” includes renaming Moon craters after his family. “Ivanka deserves a crater,” he said. “A big, beautiful one. Maybe Eric too, if there’s one left over.”


Critics vs. Trump: “The Moon Loves Me”

Critics have called Trump’s Moon ambitions ludicrous, but he remains undeterred. “The Moon loves me. Everyone loves me. Even aliens, believe me,” he said.

Astronomers, environmentalists, and space enthusiasts united in their skepticism. “It’s like watching a parody of space exploration,” said one NASA scientist. “Except it’s not a parody. It’s real life.”


A Legacy Written in Lunar Dust

As Trump’s Moon dreams continue to orbit the realm of the absurd, one thing is clear: his ambition knows no bounds, not even Earth’s. Whether it’s golden bridges, MAGA hats, or zero-gravity golf courses, Trump’s vision for the Moon is uniquely his—and undeniably entertaining.

Meanwhile, NASA remains focused on its Artemis mission, quietly hoping Trump doesn’t show up with a golden rocket.
