Trump Resurrects Space Billionaire Drama: NASA's Own Soap Opera
In a plot twist fit for reality TV, President Trump ditched then reinstated Jared Isaacmanâthe twice space-traveling billionaire whoâs apparently the GPS NASA forgot to download. After stiff-arming a rare bipartisan Senate nod and shutting down Isaacmanâs nomination in June (blame a spat with Elon Musk and a snitch named Sergio Gor), Trump reversed course post-makeup with Musk. Amid behind-the-scenes leaks, a 'stern but friendly' call from Susie Wiles to Sean Duffy warned him to stop sabotaging NASAâs reboot. Musk called Duffy 'Sean Dummy,' yet Trump shrugged and declared Isaacman the right man to fight the China moon raceâbecause whatâs political drama without rocket fuel?

Space billionaire Jared Isaacman dodged Trumpâs emotional yo-yo like a pro, surviving leaks, snark from 'Sean Dummy,' and ex-White House aides playing Game of Thrones â now NASAâs back on track, because who else can beat China to the moon with billionaires bickering like toddlers?
Trumpâs NASA shuffle means billionaires get cosmic promotion battles while taxpayers hold assist mode; next up: space launch or bitter Twitter beefs?
Obviously, the key to beating China in the space race is billionaire drama, mysterious leaks, and name-calling secretaries. NASA, now with 100% more soap opera.
