You see, it’s important to pass a continuing resolution so that Trump can spend the money he wants to spend and impound the money he feels like impounding. Also it’s important to depress everyone who voted for Democrats, wouldn’t want them to do that again.

He could've just said: "We choose to go to the moon because it's there." Or: "We choose to go to the moon because it's cool." Those are totally reasonable human motivations.
