That, and Burgess Meredith breaking his glasses.

If you were granted your favor would the aliens eventually hate us or suffer from heartburn?

Aliens must have stronger digestion.

Besides, maybe they like Trump Roast!

Fans of Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" novels will know who The Mule is. If I had The Mule's power, I would fix this situation. I wouldn't fix it to favor "our" side, but just to make The Truth and Common Sense and Sanity prevail. Fairness, Honesty, Decency. I know, The Mule was one of the bad guys in the "Foundation" novels. But his power itself was not bad, he was just using it for bad things. I would use that power sparingly and selectively, to stop the bad guys.
