In 28 minutes, all 104 satellites were successfully placed into the Earth's orbit. 101 of the 104 satellites belong to six foreign countries, including 96 from the U.S. and one each from Israel, the UAE, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Kazakhstan. According to Times of India, "Russian Space Agency held a record of launching 37 satellites in one go during its mission in June 2014. India previously launched 23 satellites in a single mission in June 2015."

Donald Trump has the best satellite launcher ever. Just give him a chance and ISRO will be coming to the Liar-in-Chief to not only launch their payloads but to build a wall around India. In exchange, the Pussy-grabber-in-Chief will gain access to well over 600 million new crotches to abuse. Plus, as a bonus, the Inn-Keep-in-Chief will get exclusive rights to the best hotel properties in India with many new golden shower opportunities. #MAGA I'm embarrassed for my country that we have a president that cannot shake hands without creating uncomfortable internationally amusing memes. That type of thing used to be reserved for third-world dictators.
