Donald Trump congratulates record-breaking astronaut Peggy Whitson and jokes about drinking filtered urine
Quote:
After spending more than a year and a half living in space throughout her career, astronaut and International Space Station commander Peggy Whitson has received a congratulatory call from President Donald Trump to commemorate her record breaking time in orbit. During the chat they also happened to discuss drinking urine.
“It’s really not as bad as it sounds,” Ms Whitson told Mr Trump about the recycling program on the International Space Station that converts astronaut urine into drinkable water.
“Well, that’s good, I’m glad to hear that,” Mr Trump said. “Better you than me.”
I have been offended by a number of things Trump has said, not this one. I got a good laugh. I actually think this joke was funniest and best delivered joke I have heard from him.
