Trump replied, “I’ll tell you, it’s a funny thing because I think that might be a question that I get more than any question. It is the craziest thing. So we have that so-called area, they consider it like a sacred area, and I will say this, I don’t think I’m a believer, but I have interviewed pilots that look – I like Tom Cruise – but better than Tom Cruise.”
He continued, “They were in the Oval Office, three or four pilots, these are not people that makeup stories, they said, ‘All I know, sir, is there was a round object that was going four times faster than my F-22,’ which is a very fast plane.”
Trump concluded, “Four or five guys I’ve interviewed, solid people, great pilots for the U.S. Air Force, etcetera, they’ve seen things that they cannot explain.”
I’m sure his dementia makes all this worse, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he believed Tom Cruise was a hotshot pilot when Top Gun first came out. He’s never been particularly smart or in touch with reality.
