Baltimore, MD (AP) – Speaking to reporters in Baltimore on Monday, following the 138th conference for the National Guard Association of the United States, the Republican Party’s presidential nominee revealed that he is a member of a growing population known generally as flat earth truthers.

“I fly a lot, and I mean a lot. No one flies more than me. Listen, I own a jet. I own a 757, beautiful plane, it’s the best plane! If the world were round, believe me, I would know!”

The comments came in response to a question from AP reporter, Charles Darr, regarding the future role of the National Guard, as private companies proliferate space travel. “Mr. Trump, if elected, are you willing to increase taxes in order to meet the growing budget demands of the National Guard, as existential threats from our enemies grow along with the advancement of space travel technology?” Darr asked.

The presidential hopeful replied that such a future is “nonsense,” adding that “the round earth people, and you know who they are, these people have an agenda.”

“It’s all on the Internet, it’s there.”

After declaring that the world is flat, Mr. Trump, as he has done before, again cited “the Internet” as his primary source of information. “There are people out there, many people, and I mean missile experts, sailors, you name it, folks, and this is what they’re saying. It’s all on the Internet, it’s there.”

The flat earth conspiracy theory, like most conspiracy theories, is propagated primarily via the Internet. Internet forums and YouTube channels are dedicated to “enlightening” the vast majority who, as truthers explain, naively buy into the “globe earth theory” that has been sold to them since birth.

One piece of evidence that flat earth truthers present as proof that there is a global conspiracy against them, is the emblem used by the United Nations, implying that the intergovernmental organization is part of the conspiracy. In it, the planet is displayed as a flat earth, with the northern pole at the center, and southern hemisphere continents stretched out toward the circumference, just as the planet really is, according to truthers.

United Nations Emblem

In April, after stating that he is open to allowing Japan and South Korea to develop nuclear weapons to alleviate the financial costs of the United States’ role as “policemen to the world,” Trump also suggested minimizing the authority of the United Nations. “By the way, United Nations,” Trump said, “same thing, smaller numbers.”

In now deleted tweets, Trump also seemingly offered Biblical evidence of a flat earth.

“Book of Matthew, folks, the devil took him to a very high mountain, very high, and what did he do? He showed him the whole world.”

“Isaiah 40:22 ‘it is he who sits above the circle of the earth’ Crooked Hilary and environmentalists are paid liers [sic]. They will be exposed!”

During an interview at ReCode’s 2016 Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, Elon Musk, founder and CEO of SpaceX, a company that is developing the technology to make humans a multi-planetary species by colonizing Mars, said he would suggest a direct democracy for humans on Mars, as opposed to the United States’ version of representative democracy.

“captain of a large ship with a small rudder”

When asked about the potential Trump presidency, following the nominee’s flat earth claim, Musk replied, “I’m glad the framers of the constitution saw fit to ensure that the president was captain of a large ship with a small rudder. There’s a limit to how much harm you can do as president. I don’t think it’s the finest moment in our democracy.”

When pressed further regarding the unique dangers presented by a President Trump, Musk added, “Oh what the hell do I care? I’m moving to Mars.”

트럼프가 당선되면 NASA 는 공중분해 되겠구먼. NASA 관계자들 모조리 감옥가고.... 트럼프를 죽일려고 들겠네요. 아니면 대통령 못되게 오바마가 무슨 사건을 일으켜 비상사태선언하고 선거를 무기한 연기하던지... 격변의 시대임은 틀림없네...후유..

트럼프 왈 나보다 하늘을 많이 날아본 사람있으면 나와보라 그래! 내 전용 제트기로 수없이 하늘을 날았지만 최고의 평평한 지구였어.
그러한 사실은 인터넷 보면 다 있어. 인터넷엔 평평함을 증명하는 수많은 전문가,그리고 항해가들,또 그것을 지지하는 민간인들이 있어. 인터넷에 다 있어. 그러니 flat earth 에 관한 인터넷을 검색 해 보란 말이야 ( 이 바보 멍청이들아)

[crystal sea]

그러니까 트럼프는 바보인 거죠~!
자기 전용기로 올라가 봤으면 땅을 봐야지 구름을 보고 있음 어떡해?
멍청이들은 멍청이들끼리 통하는 법인가 봅니다.

You are really round earther! ha ha ha

[crystal sea]

인자 고마하소~!
그 정도면 올해 할 일 다한것 같소~!
유독 올해가 그 해라서 그런지
그런 사람이 많소이다~!
트럼프한테 우리나라 올해가 xx년이라 전해 주시구랴~!

[관찰자]

오리님 글처럼 성경으로 돌아 가시구랴. 수많은 성경구절들이 평평함을 직 간접으로 증거하고 있는데 왜 믿지 못하고 허탄한 가짜과학에 속아 round earther 의 길을 가려는지 참으로 안타깝소이다. 이제라도 돌아서시길 간절히 바랍니다
VERYTAS LUXMEA!
