Trump Cancelled NASA's Lunar Rover Program Signaling Dislike AND Disrespect for Ted Cruz

If Ted Cruz thought surrendering his dignity to Donald Trump would get him anything in return, he was dead wrong. Trump is still taking shots at Cruz, and Texans are getting hurt.

NASA announced today that 90 employees working on the recently canceled lunar rover will be “reassigned”. The likely end of the lunar rover program is terrible news for Texas and another bad policy decision by Donald Trump. It’s also a punch in the face to Ted Cruz. The move throws into relief that Trump not only still holds contempt for Cruz, he has no respect for him.

Cruz is not just another Senator forced to swallow a home state project cancellation. He is the Chair of the Space Subcommittee in the U.S. Senate. It is extraordinary that the Space Subcommittee Chair can’t protect a valuable and publicly popular program within his legislative jurisdiction.

For months during the presidential campaign, Trump attacked and insulted Cruz in vile and personal terms. Trump repeatedly called Cruz a liar, attacked his wife by implying that she is ugly and bizarrely suggested that Cruz’s father was part of a JFK assassination plot. Trump kept up the name-calling and personal insults until Cruz’s campaign was defeated.
