British primatologist and scientist Jane Goodall, who died last week, she in one of her last interviews that she wanted to send President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, alongside others she didn’t like, into space.

“There are people I don’t like. And I would like to put them on one of [Elon] Musk’s spaceships and send them all off to the planet he’s sure he’s going to discover,” Goodall said on Netflix’s “Famous Last Words: Dr. Jane Goodall.”

The interview, which was recorded in earlier this year, was released upon her death at age 91.  

“Would he be — would he be one of them?” host Brad Falchuk responded.

“Oh, absolutely, he’d be the list. And you can imagine who I’d put on that spaceship,” she replied.

“Who?” Falchuk questioned.

“Along with Musk, would be Trump, and some of Trump’s real supporters. And then I would put [Russian President Vladimir] Putin in there, and I would put President Xi. I’d certainly put [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu in there.”

Goodall has a history of criticizing Trump, saying in 2016 his approach to political debates was like chimpanzees performing dominance rituals.

“In many ways, the performances of Donald Trump remind me of male chimpanzees and their dominance rituals,” Goodall told The Atlantic at the time.

“In order to impress rivals, males seeking to rise in the dominance hierarchy perform spectacular displays: stamping, slapping the ground, dragging branches, throwing rocks.”

Goodall received a Presidential Medal of Freedom from former President Biden earlier this year, shortly before he left office in late January.

In a post on the social platform X Wednesday, Biden said he and his wife, former first lady Jill Biden were “deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Jane Goodall whose activism, vision, and message of hope mobilized a global movement to protect the planet.”

The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.
