Alas, it’s a project far far beyond the meager capabilities of the MSM class and the White House (no class whatsoeveer).

hell, that's nothing, when i was a kid we used to make tennis ball shooters from beercans and lighter fluid... and if you wanted to be real nasty, you squirted lighter fluid all over the ball before you touched it off!!!
but that was 50 years ago
