Trump's new uniform design for Space Force bears uncanny resemblance to 'the bad guys from Star Wars,' critics say

Donald Trump revealed a potential uniform for the US Space Force that has people comparing the service's new look to classic science fiction movies.

The newest wing of the American military has been mocked in the past for the futuristic nature of their uniforms.

However, many were taken aback when Trump posted a new 'Service Dress Uniform' for the force titled 'Next Generation' which directly references the 1997 film Starship Troopers.

The design is inspired, according to the photo description, 'by the discipline and functionality of the starship trooper uniform modernized for the guardians of the space domain.'

The color palette used for the uniforms includes 'space gray,' 'midnight black,' 'silver gray' and 'satin black.'

Trump gave no explanation for the new uniforms.

Many were confused by the post and the concept behind the uniforms, comparing them to the villains of various space films.

'I see we’re going for the galactic empire look,' wrote one, referencing the imperial officers' uniforms in the Star Wars films.

Are these people too stupid to recognize a joke when they see one?

Yeah, they both look like military uniforms.
Would they prefer our soldiers wearing a tutu?

Yes it’s a joke but Pres Trump isn’t the boss on You’re Fired anymore. He’s not trading jokes and insults with Stern or Imus. He’s President of the United States. He has excellent ideas for whay gov’t should and should not be doing. These “trolls” not only take away from his position as POTUS thy call into question how serious he takes his own policy creations.

Trolling is a weapon that Trump is using to keep the mainstream media and the Left off-balance.
