Trump Mocked As ‘Space Farce’ After Saying America Is No. 1 In The Universe
President Donald Trump made a boast on Monday that was big, even by his usual braggadocious standards. He claimed the United States was “number one in the universe by far.”
Before departing for Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting, the president tweeted:
Heading to Davos, Switzerland, to meet with World and Business Leaders and bring Good Policy and additional Hundreds of Billions of Dollars back to the United States of America! We are now NUMBER ONE in the Universe, by FAR!!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 21, 2020
The claim caused “number one in the universe” to trend, with tweets such as these:
Number one in the universe, folks. Which is a very big place. https://t.co/t7M3ZZc2rl

Just remember, @realDonaldTrump, when you’re not actually in the room, all those people at Davos will be taking about what an idiot you are. https://t.co/lFx66ps79w

We're NUMBER ONE in the Universe, Y'all! And it's gonna keep on getting better! He's gonna bring Hundreds of Billions of Dollars back to the United States of America!
Then we'll be NUMBER ONE in the Meta-Universe and in God's Kingdom too!

Only super-smart genius adults (and 6 year olds) say things like, “We are now NUMBER ONE in the Universe.” https://t.co/L6Cgfb2oIs

Donald Trump just announced that “We are now NUMBER ONE in the Universe.” He’s right. Poll numbers in favor of his impeachment are in fact the highest in the universe.

We’ll be number one in the universe again when Uranus is no longer in office.
