Yesterday, the spacecraft with astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley made a safe splashdown off the coast of Pensacola, Florida after a two-month stay on the International Space Station. On their arrival in Houston later in the day, President Trump had the two astronauts arrested immediately.
As Trump explained,“All air passengers arriving in my USA are required by my law to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival from flights outside the country. The two Americans, Bob and Doug, (not to be confused with the two Canadian beer-drinking comedians of the same names) were stunned when National Guard troops handcuffed them as they arrived in Houston.
Hurley tried to explain that he and Bob have been beyond the reach of the Coronavirus for over two months by living in space. Trump responded, “There are no exceptions to my rules unless you are a member of the Trump family or you admit to really, really, really liking me as a person.”
Trump also indicated he would be calling on the Department of Homeland Security to interrogate the pair regarding their interactions with the Russian cosmonauts who were also living on the space station. There are unsubstantiated rumours that the Russians were asking a lot of questions about the upcoming US election.
“Bob and Doug can protest all they want,” Trump snorted,” but when they landed, they were neither social distancing nor wearing a face mask as they emerged from their spacecraft.” “I am and have always been totally committed to defeating this pandemic, unlike the leaders in Brazil and Mexico, and I will continue to demonstrate the sterling leadership that my country deserves,” Trump explained.
