What if Donald Trump - IIS member

[csb]

What if Donald Trump was amateur astronomer and joined IceInSpace . . . :question:

[FlashDrive]

That's easy ....We'd all be ' fired ' ..... :D

[LewisM]

That'd be quackers....

[LewisM]

That's a waste of Russian hacked bandwidth

[lazjen]

Our moderators would be on the case and remove him as a waste of space spammer and/or abuser. :)

Making Astronomy Great Again....

[multiweb]

He'd say all the stars are fake and he'll build a giant umbrella.

[Boozlefoot]

He'd get his daughter to stand in on cold nights.

[dbowie]

American Astro goods might be cheaper?

[PeterM]

Mike and all the moderators would have been "fired" several times.

[csb]

And Russian gear - for a short time anyway.

An Astronomer? No - Donald Trump isn't smart enough to understand the most basic concepts.

An Astrologer? Quite possibly! A lot of his Tweets sound a lot like astrological gibberish:
“Despite the constant negative press covfefe.”

Actually - Nostradamus got it pretty right:

“The great shameless, audacious bawler. He will be elected governor of the army: The boldness of his contention. The bridge broken, the city faint from fear.”
Nostradamus

I can't see a problem. So long as he is polite and respectful I would treat him as an equal. Mine you, he might be very prone to aperture envy.

[deanm]

It is impossible to have a single sentence that includes "Donald Trump" and "polite and respectful".
Let's ban him before he joins IIS!

"Look at my telescope, is that a small telescope? And, he referred to my telescopes -- 'if they're small, something else must be small.' I guarantee you there's no problem. I guarantee."

[LewisM]

I'd stand next to her on a nice, cold, nipply night. :P

[FlashDrive]

Get in Line ....;)

[LewisM]

You'd pass out Poppy :)

[el_draco]

I would leave and join ISIS :mad2:

[el_draco]

Believe me, you don't want to get mixed up with one of "them" :eyepop::eyepop:

[jimmyh1555]

We would have to hope he didn't get aperture fever - he might buy one of those telescopes in South America - or several of them:lol:

[csb]

He would post Uranus puns ad nauseum.

Trump, "Really, they named a planet after it!? I love astronomy!"

[blindman]

I would say he is 1,000,000,000,000 smarter than you!

[csb]

No blindman, you got it wrong ;)! This is about bagging Donald, not IIS members.

[Orionskies]

He may launch a preemptive strike against cloudynights. Com ".......with fire and fury the likes of which the world had never seen before".

Julian :)

[julianh72]

He might claim to have billions more dollars than I do (but I earned all of mine, I didn't start out with "a small loan of a million dollars from my father"), but I'll back my intellect (and that or pretty well all IIS members) against that of Donald "Covfefe" Trump any day!

[xelasnave]

Weird but I keep visualising Benny Hill with a drip torch and that " chase" musical plays at the same time.

We have the constellation Coma Berenices or Berenice's Hair, I suppose Mr Egotist would want a constellation named after him called Coma Trumps.

[Tropo-Bob]

Donald would own a "bigly" telescope.

[julianh72]

The bigliest!

[skysurfer]

He would rather join Cloudynights as that is 'real American'.
And he would move production of Celestron and Meade back to America.
Make American Astronomy Great Again !
Next step is that we as foreigners don't buy American scopes anymore as they are getting too expensive.

[LewisM]

America has only ever had 2 good telescope makers in the past 40 years anyway, neither of which is Celestron or Meade :P

[Baza]

We need a Trump to shake the tree & get rid of some bad political fruit.:D

[Tropo-Bob]

You want a fruitcake to do what...

[julianh72]

Is that like "draining the swamp"?

Yeah, 'coz that's working out really well for America, isn't it?!
