STAR WARS ON STEROIDS: Invoking former President Ronald Reagan’s vision of a system of space-based lasers to shoot down incoming missiles, dubbed “Star Wars” by critics at the time, President Donald Trump enthused over the Pentagon’s initial concept to make his Golden Dome for America dream a reality in an Oval office presentation Tuesday.

“We will truly be completing the job that President Reagan started 40 years ago, forever ending the missile threat to the American homeland,” Trump said, claiming that technological advances in recent decades now make the concept of an impenetrable missile shield covering the entire United States possible. “The success rate is very close to 100%, which is incredible when you think of it. You’re shooting bullets out of the air.”
