President Trump meets Artemis II astronauts at the White House
President Trump hosted the four Artemis II astronauts in the Oval Office at the White House after their 10-day lunar flyby mission. Artemis II completed a 10-day crewed lunar flyby that looped around the Moon and returned the crew to Earth. The meeting served as a White House greeting and photo opportunity that acknowledged NASA's achievement. The visit underscores U.S. commitment to returning humans to the Moon and keeps momentum for future Artemis missions.
the Artemis II crew looks mortified as Trump turns to them while he's attacking NATO
westvillagecrank.bsky.social210I am so depressed that people of real achievement have to stand with/near this vile pus bag.
Jay’s Art Corner90Four of the smartest, most accomplished, well-travelled people in the entirety of human history. And they’re stuck listening to Donald Trump. Their inner monologues must be insane right now.
Lisa 🇨🇦39What an embarrassment. Well they should come to Canada and speak to a NORMAL leader and have pancakes & maple syrup! 🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦
SheiSho26Serious question - why are they there? Why would you go all the way to the moon only to come back and debase yourself with this horror show? Why?
MakeAmericaSaneAgain19Imagine busting your ass for years to become an astronaut and then you get to meet the worst president in history.
Patric Reynolds18The astronauts are all like “can we go back into space so we don’t have to share the earth with this stupid fuck?”
edolis 🇪🇺🇮🇹15yep, imagine having gone to watch the dark side of the moon and have to come back to endure his bs
Alex James12Anyone else, after seeing the King of the UKs speech to Congress, think that maybe it'd have been better if the US lost in 1776?
Michelle Dombrowski11Why is the crew even there? I would never give Trump any of my time. He deserves NO respect. NONE.
IMMORTAL KAHN10Turn down the invite while racist white grandpa is there. Just say schedule is packed. Boom. If you go the inevitable fallout is shared by you.
Wendy M. A. Darling9Hey Artemis crew, you didn’t HAVE to go!!
Let’s Be Frank9If I was one of them I’d have called in sick rather than be forced to listen to this moron.
Mike L.🇨🇦🇺🇦🇬🇱🇪🇺9WTF is the Artemis crew doing there anyway?!
Catherine6Sad to see the NASA astronauts there
Etudious6Imagine being less comfortable in the presence of the president than you are facing down the challenges of space flight. THATS HOW TOXIC HE IS.
KlamorKitten (She/Her)6WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY THERE?? I'm sorry. I can't believe looks of shock or discomfort when they chose to fucking breath the same air as this piece of shit.
Evlyn Moreau5Another good dose of normalization of fascism and anti-science.
Christian Petersen5Why the fuck are they even there?
MichelleG.5That asshole makes it so difficult to enjoy and appreciate such an accomishment for humanity when he gets his stupid, fucking fingers on everything. I wish he'd die already.
gracelesslady76.bsky.social5They were literally more comfortable being jettisoned into space.
𝙂𝙤 𝙀𝙕-𝙞𝙚𝙧 𝙊𝙣 𝙀𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙊𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 & 𝙀𝙣𝙟𝙤𝙮™️!4"I Don't Want To Get You Get Guys Involved," He Says WHILE Actively Involving Them AND Speaking For Them.
L'Ood 🏜️4His absolute disrespect to the #ArtemisII #NASA crew shouldn't be shocking but it is. 🤬 #EightySixFortySeven
❌👑🇺🇸 Bowie Maroney ❌👑🇺🇸4Why the fuck are they standing behind that demented clown? How embarrassing for them.
Greg Sanderson4He understands NATO about as well as tariffs. It's a defensive alliance. Donald can't simply order NATO into action to attack a country, regardless of whether he currently is. NATO won't help him attack Cuba either. His ignorance remains astonishing.
Mash3333WHy the hell did they even attend this?
./coldwarkiid3Every day its an avalanche of national embarrassments. I am so fucking tired of this guy.
Breck Wilhite3They thought his vision was based on movement.
ssnoel.bsky.social3They looked much happier hurtling through space than being next to him and his nonsense.
Hagen Patrick3"Why did we come back to Earth?"
smartbunny3I hate that they have to be there with this garbage-brained piece of shit.
bluedotinfl.bsky.social3Why do they even go ?
coloneltompeeping.bsky.social3Nice of Trump to drag the astronauts in for this meteor shower of bullsh!t
am-mccarthy.bsky.social2Were they kidnapped, thrown in a van and then shuttled to the White House? They deserve to be "mortified"
M 💓2Another missed opportunity to boycott and not go there. Maybe they like him? 🤷♀️ Why is the press even showing up for these things anymore? It’s pointless.
Katrine Koenig2as bloated as he looks - keep the champagne cold
Grant Olsen2This is the result of the US never holding its own to account. Not the confederate generals, not Nixon, not the Bushes. You wind up with Trump and a golden ballroom/bunker. Brazil, South Korea, France, the UK, etc. don't allow this kind of criminal malfeasance to stand in their own countries.
Agora016192I would get someone to break my leg before going there.
AgentJoeMcJoe™2Why would they visit Trumpy? How did they think it would go?
grumpyoldfuk.bsky.social2I love that they all grey stoned him..that's protocol for dealing with a narcissist.
JLawBluDot2Is he taking credit for the entire mission and NASA in general? Bc he was a couple weeks ago.
Amy’s Not Giving Up2What a waste of their time to have to listen to this idiot.
Peter2He always does this to his honored guests, brings up his crazy policies and expects them to side with him, which they rarely do, unless they are his sycophants.
- 14 Dec 2023: #ArtemisII crew met with President Biden and discussed their upcoming lunar mission and viewed a Moon rock on display. - 29 Apr 2026: Artemis II crew met with President Trump. Media focused on Iran, Russia, FBI Director Comey, redistricting, and UFOs
GreenInOC414 Dec 2023: #ArtemisII crew met with Biden where he expressed his awe & appreciation of them and they expressed appreciation for him requesting the Moon rock 29 Apr 2026: Artemis II crew met with Trump and he bragged he was smart enough & fit enough to be an astronaut⤵️ bsky.app/profile/fact...
NASAWATCH2A transcript from CSPAN is below of what was said is included below. NASA/Artemis comments by the President are highlighted in red. Jared Isaacman/NASA comments are highlighted in blue. There is not much in the way of red. Very little blue nasawatch.com/artemis/arte...
Trump meeting with Artemis II astronauts: "To get in there, you have to be very smart, you have to do a lot of things physically good, so I would have had no trouble making it…We'll have to try it sometime. Is a president allowed to go up in one of these missions?"
Chrysostom23Someone should tell him Biden said no President would ever make the grade as an astronaut. The narcissist would strap himself to one of Elon’s Roman candles before the month was out.
WingChick🐸❌👑10Yes please! NASA take him away!
Carl S. Ergo Sum6You’re gonna need a bigger rocket.
Alistair Coleman6“Sorry Mr President, but it’s the bone spurs”
Professor Mask (he/him)6I’d be down with this if 1) he had to take his family with him, and 2) we didn’t exert too much effort to bring them back.
smm570.bsky.social6If someone could get this man off our planet even for a couple weeks that would be incredible.
Koukla5Why would they go and meet with that bumbling idiot!?
Tom Joad4Oh shit let's do this and have him do a space walk.
ProfWho4Yes, he can leave anytime. Solo adventure. To the sun.
Rick H3Let him go please. Trump has problems walking from his golf cart to the green. That's after he parks right next to it.
Occams adVisors3Oh please oh please. Send him.
Fynagle2We missed the footage of "physically good" President falling immediately after getting up from his chair during the correspondents dinner and two secret service agents couldn't lift him to his feet?
Deb2Me, me, me, me, meeeeee…..
John Corn2Ohhh let him do it! Please please please please please…
NotafanofFacism2Yes, a president is absolutely allowed to go up in one of those missions but it has to be a solo flight. How soon can Trump go?
