[Mega] MAGA Super Trump Mega Thread v2

Now this is cool.... Some Brit made America Great Again by finding Alan Shephard's second golf shot on the moon fifty years ago.
Fifty years ago, Alan Shepard blasted from an endless sand trap and we just now found his ball - pennlive.com

The most widely watched golf shot in history did not occur in a major tournament. It wasn’t even in a PGA event. In fact, it did not take place on Earth. And, as it turns out, its distance has been embellished by legend.

It was a one-handed chip with a converted Wilson Staff 6-iron club head adapted to an aluminum moon rock sample scooper. And the golfer was Alan Shepard, first American in space, 5th man on the Moon.

Shepard hit two golf balls on live television exactly half a century ago yesterday at the end of the Apollo 14 moonwalk. Because of the portable TV camera’s perpendicular angle to the flight of the ball, exactly how far the shots went was left up to the commentary of the jocular original “Mercury seven” astronaut. The first one, he clearly duffed.

But the second one appeared to be nutted and Shepard suggested it might’ve gone “miles and miles!”

Well, not exactly. But who’s keeping track?

Nobody really, until a 46-year-old British imaging specialist named Andy Saunders used his skills to enhance the clarity of long-sequestered video and photography from Apollo 14 and other moon missions. And the results are nothing short of astounding.

Saunders’ painstaking work used both new digital and traditional photo techniques to improve the brightness, sharpness and contrast of the 5-decade-old Apollo moon program (1968-72) shots so that we now can see more clearly all sorts of details hidden before – from the desolate gray surface to obscured faces of astronauts behind their helmet visors to intricate features of the lunar landers and equipment to, yes, the exact position of Shepard’s two golf shots.

On a scale of 1-10 how much do you like Trump?

How much have you spent on Trump gear in the last 5 years?
 
Mccain wasn't a war hero. He was a 2nd rate pilot that probably shouldn't have even been that.

In fact, he's pretty much like trump, got most of his initial juice from his father...the only difference is trump didn't get shot down twice and almost kill his ship mates
