I don't see a clear path for recouping that Mars investment, especially with Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk in private sector taking on the challenge at fraction of the cost. Nasa is no longer competitive for space exploration and we should place our bets on the private sector to get the job done.

Trump essentially is setting a goal of getting humans to Mars by 2033.
That is a lucrative opportunity, and both Bezos and Musk are salivating at a chance for dominating that Market. So now it will be Trump vs Bezos vs Musk for space exploration. With $19B budget this yeat, even with all NASA and government inefficiencies Trump is giving a good shot of staying relevant in that market 15 years from now.

As we learned from Trump's tweets about Obama wiretapping tapping accusations, Trump is highly vendictive, so why not show Bezos who is the boss?

I admire Trump's passion for driving change and making progress, but not sure if by betting on NASA he is betting on a right horse in the race.

Elon Musk is apparently no fan of the new federal law that authorizes the country’s space program — and doesn’t think it’ll help SpaceX or other companies get to Mars any time soon.
I am not surprised with Elon's reaction. Musk and Bezos just got a new heavily funded competitor - NASA.
