President Trump stirred online conversation by suggesting that astronauts stranded in space might fall in love, amidst criticism of the Biden Administration’s handling of the situation. While Trump attributed blame to Biden for the astronauts' situation, a CNN report clarified that NASA already had contingency plans for their return. His remarks, including references to one astronaut's appearance, generated mockery and concern over his insensitivity, highlighting a stark contrast in public opinion regarding presidential decorum and communication. Trump's comments have since gone viral, receiving millions of views and igniting discussions.
Trump on two astronauts stuck in space: "Maybe they'll love each other, I don't know. But they've been left up there. Think of it. And I see the woman with the wild hair. Good solid head of hair she's got. There's no kidding. There's no games with her hair."
People online are weirded out by this response by a sitting president: "Very dignified and respectful take on two US astronauts at great personal danger serving on the frontier of space and science," this person said sarcastically.
"If Biden said something this moronic, the Times would have an editorial in tomorrow morning's paper demanding his resignation," this person agreed.
This person summed it up perfectly: "who knew Trump was a fan of the forced proximity romance trope"
