      I disagree. In fact, I think we should rename the other planets so that they have funny names, too.

          Guessing it’s a reference to Futurama where the professor says they renamed it to urectum.

          Possible futurama reference, where they rename Uranus to Urectum.

    Is this in visible light or are there other spectrums involved? I m just wondering if this is real color.

        That’s what I thought to. That’s why I’m wondering what spectrum this is in, or of it’s CGI/edit.

    Trump: “Yeah that’s her with the 27 moons. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful… I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.”

    Bush: “Whatever you want.”

    Trump: “Zoom in on Uranus. You can do anything.”

    Bush: “Yeah those moons. All I can see is the moons.”

    Trump: “It looks good.”
