"Nanomachines, son"
I'm not very techie, but have scientists now built a robotic Trump?
If Trump was a worm and a few tens of micrometers long, then yes
So they actually built his penis.
I think they started with the penis?
Neat. Don't give them the ability to self-replicate and we're golden.
They're made by a laser 3D printer and they only move in an externally applied electric field. I don't think we have to worry about anything like that anytime soon :)
Oh fuck
