Prolific novelist and the king of horror, Stephen King, reached out to his millions of fans on Twitter to pose a question about President Donald Trump's newly unveiled "Space Force" idea. In the tweet King tells his folllowers:
Space Force: I keep thinking of one of those old Saturday morning shows with puppets n shit. Retweet ONLY if you think this is possibly the dumbest idea out of Trump's admittedly dumb head so far.

For many "Space Force" out-dumbed the dumb wall.
How much more ridiculous can this get?
