“I call it the super duper missile,” Trump bragged during the unveiling of the flag for the new U.S. Space Force. Trump claimed the purported new weapon will travel “17 times faster than what we have right now.”
But many commenters shot down his description.
“I’m really looking forward to Trump’s defenders saying this with a straight face,” tweeted longtime GOP strategist Rick Wilson, a fierce critic of the president.

If there isn't an adult movie called Super Duper Missile up on the hubs by tomorrow, that industry is really letting us all down. https://t.co/21AJNPiSBz

The “Super Duper” Missile? Is Wile E. Coyote your consultant? If you mishandle this like the pandemic the results will be the same. President Feckless. @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/IDGxGybKnM

The guy who came up with "super duper missile" is a self-proclaimed marketing genius.

Trump just bragged that we're developing a new "super-duper missile." Why does he trust scientists when it comes to missiles but not when it comes to epidemiology?

"Super-duper missile?" Ugh. This new Steve Carell Netflix show seems too broad. Satire is great, but if it gets too silly and unbelievable no one will tune in. https://t.co/BvlAuTe22q

Trump just unveiled something he called the 'Super Duper Missile' at the official launch of the Space Force.
These are things I would have resoundingly endorsed as a child but for some reason, I just can't generate any enthusiasm today.— John Balfe (@JohnBalfe) May 15, 2020
In case you were wondering, yes, the "president" of the United States actually said the words "Super Duper Missile."
And yes, he's still in charge of the nuclear codes.— BrooklynDad_Defiant! (@mmpadellan) May 15, 2020
I know we’ve played this game before but just imagine how Hannity and Tucker and Judge Jeanine and Laura Ingraham would have reacted if Obama had called a new military capability the “super duper missile.”

Super Duper Missile is a great band name

Trump just announced a new "super-duper missile" and I withdraw this earlier tweet. I was never that stupid. https://t.co/AqdSiOt2HN

My two guesses on the Super Duper missile:
1) It's a classified program Trump wasn't supposed to talk about
2) He kinda made it up and his staff just said "yes" when he mentioned it— Alex Ward (@AlexWardVox) May 15, 2020
