Well now that the idiots of all stripes have put us in this exciting new world, let's see what the optoins are:

  • Change nothing, and get cut
  • Put advertising in space and get cut
  • Ask oligarchs for money to make AI use JWST real good (but don't of course)

Or the most obvious and pathetically realistic option: rename it for trump and watch it's funding remain the same or even get a little tiny bump.
