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.”

    The dude thinks only pretty people are worthy humans. Can an ugly person not be truthful too? Or be a good pilot?

      I also think he believes that Tom Cruise really is a hotshot pilot because of the Top Gun movies. Because his dementia is that bad.

        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.

        I couldn’t tell whether he thinks Cruise is an ace jet pilot or whether the actual pilots were just better looking.

      Trump is ugly and Trump isn’t truthful. Logic checks out for once 🤷

      Based on Trump’s appearance and his penchant for lying, I’m going to have to say “no”. I’m willing to consider with other ugly people.

    Gutfeld! co-host Tyrus then asked, “Follow-up question, Mr. President. If in fact there are aliens, would you be willing to put tariffs on them?”

    “Yes,” replied Trump.

    Goddamnit, we don’t need an interstellar trade war. Next thing you know they’ve got a blockade and droids invading, and it’s all downhill from there.

    I was going to say he probably doesn’t know, but the fact he knows the F-22 is a very fast plane, maybe Trump knows more than we think. Genius.

    UAPs are real. NHI is real. There wouldn’t be a bipartisan push for legislation regarding private industry owning the technology from NHI if it was fake. I hope Harris pushes for disclosure once she’s done with Trump.

    Edit: to the down lemms, please actually read the UAP Disclosure Act

      Because of course they’d give the technology to one or two people to immensely profit from, rather than allowing it to freely benefit humanity.

        I have and am hopeful it passes as written.

        I really like what Ryan Graves is doing with Americans for Safe Aerospace.

        Some people may try to waive sightings away as pilots seeing advanced technology, but there is no scenario where an active advanced tech project is engaging with military pilots to the point of near misses.

        You don’t risk your pilots and multi-million dollar jets on “playing around” like that, even as a tech demo
