Trump Learns That Astronauts Recycle Their Urine Into Drinkable Water: Better You Than Me [VIDEO]

The jokes are too easy. The New York Daily News reports:

Urine for a big surprise, President Trump. The commander-in-chief, in a surreal Earth-to-space call from the Oval Office Monday to congratulate astronaut Peggy Whitson on surpassing a record 534 days in space, received a flood of knowledge on life in zero gravity — including how pee gets repurposed.

“Water is such a precious resource up here that we also are cleaning up our urine and making it drinkable — and it’s really not as bad as it sounds,” Whitson told Trump. “Well, that’s good. I’m glad to hear that,” he replied. “Better you than me.”
