Former U.S. President and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump (Donald Trump) recently appeared on a TV interview program. Besides various campaign-related issues, he was also asked about the hot topic of aliens.
Trump appeared on the Fox News nighttime talk show “Gutfeld!” last week, where he faced questions from host Greg Gutfeld and others.
Gutfeld started by asking, “Mr. President, how’s your golf game?” Referring to the incident where Trump was attacked on the golf course on September 15, Gutfeld apparently wanted to hear his thoughts on the matter.
Trump humorously replied, “I always say, golf is a dangerous game.” Gutfeld interjected, saying, “Especially when playing with you?” Trump responded, “Exactly.” He then praised the Secret Service for their handling of the gunman situation.
Towards the end of the program, Fox News columnist and actress Kat Timpf asked Trump a sensational question about the military base “Area 51” and aliens.
Area 51 is a training ground for the U.S. Air Force located in Nevada, where there are rumored sightings of aliens and unidentified flying objects (UFOs).
Timpf asked, “Are there aliens at Area 51?” This sparked laughter from the audience.
Trump responded, “It’s an interesting thing because I think this is probably the most asked question of me. It’s the craziest thing.”
He went on to say that while he doesn’t believe in aliens or UFOs, he has interviewed pilots with flying skills better than Hollywood star Tom Cruise.
Cruise plays a fighter pilot in the “Top Gun” series of movies and also holds a pilot’s license in real life.
Trump mentioned that real fighter pilots have told him, “What I know is there’s an object flying around that’s 4 times faster than my F-22 fighter jet. The F-22 is a very fast aircraft.”
He added that four or five reliable people he has interviewed, excellent pilots from organizations like the U.S. Air Force, have witnessed unexplainable phenomena.
Trump was then asked if aliens were real and visited Earth, would he be willing to impose tariffs on them? His answer was “Yes.”
Apart from this program, earlier this month, Trump was also asked about UFOs during an interview with renowned podcaster Lex Fridman.
Fridman said, “Many people are very interested in UFO footage. The Pentagon has released some videos, and there are anecdotal reports from fighter pilots. So, many people want to know, would you help push for the Pentagon to release more videos? Many claim these sightings are real.”
Trump replied that he would do so, that he had to do so. He also mentioned there were requests for him to disclose files related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy in 1963, but there were also pleas for him not to do so.
