Far more interesting, I think, is the suggestion that this

have come much deeper into the Solar System than its current position.

And to shift the plane of the orbits of all the planets in the Solar System, it
seems that it would almost have had to have caused a major change in the orbit
of Jupiter. (Maybe doing that to Saturn instead would have sufficed.)

However, the chances of finding the ruins of a lost civilization on Planet
Nine, from which we can learn the secret of building faster-than-light
spaceships, remain remote. Which means that it is unlikely to provide me with a
way to get far enough away from Donald Trump, should he be elected President.

Ah, now it starts. Every time some conservative is running, the libby-progs say "I'm going to run away! Waaaaaa!" Like Alec (Psycho) Baldwin. Guess what? They never do...
