1. Ummmm ... this wasn't done tongue-in-cheek ? I can see Shatner saying this with that secret smile of his ...

The Daily Mail is run by conservatives, right ? Conservatives have no sense of humor, right ? I'm betting Shatner was trolling Trmp, and TDM fell for it, hard.

C'mon ... read Shatner's Xit ... "corrupt nerds on a power trip" ??

We should start a GoFundMe and designate it for him if he names Pluto a Planet again.

Otherwise, we should designate the money for childhood vaccinations for those children with no healthcare plans who want the vaccinations, if he doesn't name Pluto a Planet again.

Watch that mfer do it, and claim the 💰.
LOL.

8. I think they should rename it Trump!

He wants his name on everything and this would be absolutely appropriate. It could be called Planet Donald J Trump, also known as Uranus.
