I know the US Government doesn’t have proof of aliens. Trump would have already used it to distract from the Epstein files.
Thats what this is.
The Obama administration responded to a petition and gave a vague answer about aliens.
Oh so improperly handling classified information is a bad thing now because the black guy did it? What a fucking loser
So either Trump is correct that Obama revealed classified information, which: Awesome! Aliens are real, man!
Or Trump is a lying piece of shit who believes that revealing classified information is a crime, which: Awesome! Prosecute yourself, asshole!
Statistically its highly unlikely we're the only intelligent life in the universe. He believes the numbers.
But has any intelligent life visited Earth? Obama doesn't know, but there are no aliens at Area 51.
You can't classify a non-fact.
Trump huffs martian paint!
Is it that unlikely? The universe isn't just really big it's also fucking old. We might have missed the party or we might be the first. I'd be hard pressed to put a statistical number on that.
Many non facts are classified.
Of course they aren’t at Area 51! Their bodies and space crafts are actually at S-4!
I don’t actually think they are there
Trump is a child raping Nazi pedo, nothing more.
He's a few other things too, but none of those things is "good honest person".
Trump revealed classified information by confirming Obamas statement.
"I don’t know if they’re real or not… I can tell you he gave classified information."
If he doesn't know if they are real or not, how does he know if Obama gave out classified information?
Ohh right. Common sense and logic don't apply here. I forgot.
Edit: fixed a typo.
"Someone told me Obama did it, and I don't care to verify the information because it fits my worldview."
I would guess that his logic essentially amounts to “Obama is black and I don’t like him, so he’s in trouble, and I don’t really care what sort of trouble it is, only that I can somehow make it stick”
WHERE ARE THE FUCKING EPSTEIN FILES? WHEN THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE IN THE EPSTEIN FILES GONNA GO TO FUCKING JAIL???
How I imagine every press conference ends with Dementia Don
Should be "sure Donny, but it's time to change your diaper"
How do you know it's classified if you don't even know if it's real, you insufferable pedo!?
This is interesting. Trump is indirectly validating Obama.
Or he's really really hurt that no one told him and doesn't know for sure
They didn't tell him because he is classified as a hidden security risk ... he would scream it out at random.
Trump is married to an alien, technically…
Wouldn't surprise me if she could peel her skin off her face
Whether he’s right, wrong, or a hypocrite, he’s going to use this to try and throw Obama in jail.
I doubt even he wants to set the precedent of arresting former presidents.
Considering that he's never leaving office, I doubt he cares about president precedents.
I actually think he's conceded the point that he will be leaving office eventually. That's why he's doubling down on his "Board of Peace" grift, not only will he be able to steal money from it but he thinks it will give him some sort of diplomatic immunity.
I don't think he thinks of anyone else or consequences.
But he wants Obama in prison now! What does the future have to do with that?
Perhaps you forgot he already posted an AI video of Obama being shoved to the floor in the oval office and arrested by the FBI.
That's different than actually doing it.
He intends never to be a "former" president again.
Sounds exactly like a playground snitch...
He gave classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that. I don’t know if they’re real or not… I can tell you he gave classified information. He made a big mistake,” the president told Fox News’ Peter Doocy aboard Air Force One.
Yeah so about the Epstein files.
I don’t even know what they mean with Aliens. This country has alienated itself from me.
Distraction.
What a sucker.
Trump: If I were a president there wouldn't be any aliens!
