40 years later and we’re back to Ronnie’s Star Wars all over again.
Update: $25B to design the system??? No AI?

Are we finally giving a defence system to Palestine?
I bet he thinks they’ll be building an actual dome.
F35 was 200B. Now it’s 2T. So I’m guessing 3T-4T for another thing we don’t need. Awesome.
So it’s just a combover?
More concepts of a plan than a real plan
But the money will be real… Into someone’s pockets
This has zero chance of working… Kinda like the wall.
Just 175B into a selected few pockets.
Oh. It’ll work. Tax payers dollars will flow into the pockets of Trump’s billionaires. That’s the only goal here. It worked last time for the wall too. The intended mission was totally accomplished
It has every chance of working exactly the way the wall did since of course all it’s just a money grift.
Does the plan involve every American billionaire being paid to provide everyone with a golden shower
I had to scroll shockingly far through these comments to find a sex joke.
Is a “golden dome” not what happens when you try to suck off someone who gives zero shits about you before he pisses in your mouth? Because that’s exactly what it sounds like
Yes, but you’ll have to pay for the shower. Otherwise it’s too much like getting something for free and that’s commie bullshit.
Swamp drained - No. Wall built - No. Mexico paying - No.
Im sure it will work this time.
The point isn’t to actually build the thing, the point is to send government money over to military contractor friends.
True, but we’ll still pay for the attempt.
What’s worse is I doubt even half the money will be used on the project itself, it will just be pocketed by Trump’s mates.
You’re just paying for Yachts and Mansions.
This honestly isn’t that bad of an idea, but theres much more pressing issues than this
Oh good, another $100+ billion of tax payer money funneled to himself and Putin.
WTF for? Useless like his shitty wall built from cheap porous Chinese steel.
Talks with Russia must be going smooth, I see. Indeed.
Trump’s Golden Dome idea is impossible. The tech and resources to defend even the contiguous 48 states against even North Korea’s level of ICBM capabilities does not exist.
The truth is that the whole program is intended to pour federal money into the hands of the wealthy. In fact, Musk already has the lead in providing the system as of this April 17th article from Reuters. And the icing on the cake is this.
In an unusual twist, SpaceX has proposed setting up its role in Golden Dome as a “subscription service” in which the government would pay for access to the technology, rather than own the system outright.
If you gotta pay a 3rd party to keep it on, why couldn’t another 3rd party pay to turn it off?
Jesus Christ, they are enshittifying the military industrial complex
Universal healthcare? Can’t afford it! But this….
Been there, done that. Remember Reagan’s bright shiny “Star Wars” that was going to end world leftism?
