The courageous acts of the astronauts is the true America.

And I don't know that if our esteemed leader has even mentioned them? I guess they would need to commit a crime before he would say anything about them?

But it was such an inspiring event for our country - to travel farther out in space than any human before them. I hope our country recognizes their historic achievement. They deserve a ticker-tape parade, in my opinion.

All that I can think of this morning is look what Trump and the Republicans have done to our country.

They have disgraced us, while the brave astronauts have inspired us.

It doesn't surprise me at all that Trump has done little or nothing to praise or honor them.
