**Trump Withdraws Nomination of Musk Associate Jared Isaacman for NASA Leadership: A Cosmic Comedy of Errors**
In a move that has left the galaxy scratching its head, former President Donald Trump has officially withdrawn the nomination of Jared Isaacman, the billionaire space enthusiast and Musk associate, for a leadership position at NASA. The announcement came during a press conference where Trump, flanked by a team of bewildered astronauts and a life-sized cardboard cutout of Buzz Lightyear, declared, “I just realized Jared’s last name sounds too much like ‘I-suck-man.’ We can’t have that at NASA!”
Isaacman, known for his role in the SpaceX Inspiration4 mission, was reportedly “over the moon” about the nomination until he received a call from Trump’s office. “I thought I was going to be the next Neil Armstrong,” Isaacman lamented. “But instead, I’m just a guy who can’t even get a rocket to the White House!”
Sources close to the former president revealed that Trump was concerned about Isaacman’s “lack of experience in dealing with aliens.” “I mean, I’ve met some pretty weird people in my life, but Jared’s never even had a conversation with a Martian!” Trump quipped, adding, “And let’s be honest, I’m the only one who can negotiate with extraterrestrials. They love me!”
In a bizarre twist, Trump suggested that Isaacman should instead focus on launching a new line of space-themed fast food restaurants called “Galactic Burgers.” “We’ll have burgers that are out of this world! And the fries? They’ll be so good, they’ll make you forget about your earthly problems!” he exclaimed, while gesturing wildly as if he were trying to launch a rocket with his hands.
As for Isaacman, he’s reportedly considering a new career path as a motivational speaker for aspiring astronauts. “If I can’t lead NASA, I might as well inspire the next generation to reach for the stars—just not with my name attached to it!” he said, while practicing his best “moonwalk” dance move.
In the end, the cosmos may have dodged a bullet, but one thing is for sure: the universe is still laughing.
