While they’re at it they should name their first spaceship. Something in line with the originality of everything else.

Today:

United States Space Force @SpaceForceDoD
Today, after a yearlong process that produced hundreds of submissions and research involving space professionals and members of the general public, we can finally share with you the name by which we will be known: Guardians.

Klingon salute? Live long and prosper?

The official Space Force salute.

But, no. Instead we got this:

In space no one can hear you scream.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

This afternoon:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
After consultation with our Great Military Leaders, designers, and others, I am pleased to present the new logo for the United States Space Force, the Sixth Branch of our Magnificent Military!

What a putz.

A word of advice – whatever you have to do in the Space Force, don’t ever wear a red uniform tunic.

The responses are priceless:

what the fuck is happening you just ripped off the star trek logo are we in a cartoon version of hell

Yes, we are.

dibs on the first green chick!

Swell, now taxpayers get to pay for lawyers when you’re sued by Paramount and the Roddenberry estate…

Either this is a joke or you’re about to be the first president to get sued by Jean Luc Picard

You know he’s not a real person, right. And if he were, he wouldn’t be the one to hold the rights to that logo.

Blasphemer.

The joke passed you at warp speed there.

At Warp Factor Nine.

lol did you just rip off Star Trek?

where are the bone spurs

Space force: “hey can I copy your homework?”

Star Trek: “Yea just change it up a bit so it doesn’t look the same.”

Space force: “ok”

Yeah, I mean. You’re not serious. Right?

Is it possible for you to make the United States any more of a laughing stock to the world??

He keeps lowering the bar.

At your trial, a video was played of an audience laughing at you. If you weren’t such an asshole, I’d feel bad for you.

Lightsabers or I’m not joining

Wrong franchise. Get with the program. Phasers.

The people of Space love you. They worship and adore you. Everything you do is for the betterment of Space and it’s people. They call you King Trump and take to the streets everyday to praise you.

Now, go to Space forever and be with your people. Live long, and prosper.

Peace and long life.

Beam me up, Scotty – there’s no intelligent life in the White House.

Finally.

This was designed for his mentally challenged worshippers. He treats them like children. It’s all fun and games and jokes. It’s humiliating.

You should’ve just called it the United States Starfleet

You ripped off Star Trek!

We noticed.

One of these is a logo for a science fiction story – the other is a logo for a science fiction story….

I’ve seen this symbol before somewhere… but where…

You should have just gone full boat with it and called the new military branch “Starfleet” and used the logo.

Omg it’s Star Trek.

This is the kind of thing that makes me suspect the entire Trump presidency is some kind of avant garde comedic-artistic stunt.

That’s not going to camouflage very well with the uniforms and the trees in space. #SpaceFarce

Oh look, it’s a Star Trek copyright infringement logo.

Dude. That’s Star Trek

Did Melania come up with this?

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
