Donald Trump isn’t afraid to take on the tough topics from journalists.
He weighed in on one of the government’s biggest potential secrets.
And Donald Trump answered one scary question about UFOs that no one expected.
Donald Trump tells a story about UFOs
Former President Donald Trump was a guest on the Fox News show Gutfeld! where he covered the usual election year topics.
Fox News regular Kat Timpf decided to ask him if there were aliens at Area 51 – the top secret Air Force Base in Nevada that is allegedly a hub of UFO activity.
“Can I please ask a question, just because I’m never gonna be allowed in a room with a President again?” Timpf asked.
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld gave her the go-ahead.
“Are there aliens at Area 51?” Timpf asked.
Trump didn’t directly answer the question, but he told a story about talking to pilots about UFOs.
“I’ll tell you, it’s a funny thing because I think that might be a question that I get more than any question,” Trump said. “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,” Trump explained.
Trump might not be a believer, but the pilots who looked like Tom Cruise were.
“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 recalled. “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.”
Gutfeld! co-host Tyrus jumped in with a joke.
“Follow-up question, Mr. President. If in fact there are aliens, would you be willing to put tariffs on them?” Tyrus asked.
“Yes,” Trump replied.
Former Israeli military official claims Trump knows about UFOs
Trump denied believing in UFOs on Fox News, but a former member of the Israeli military said the former President knows more than he’s letting on.
Former Israel Ministry of Defense space directorate head Haim Eshed claims humans have made contact with a “galactic federation” of extraterrestrials.
Eshed was in charge of launching the country’s satellites into space.
“The Unidentified Flying Objects have asked not to publish that they are here, humanity is not ready yet,” Eshed told Yediot Aharonot – an Israeli newspaper.
He said that the extraterrestrials were attempting to understand “the fabric of the universe.”
And he claimed that they entered into a deal with the United States government.
“There is an agreement between the U.S. government and the aliens. They signed a contract with us to do experiments here,” Eshed explained.
He said that Trump knew about it and was going to reveal everything but didn’t to prevent mass hysteria.
“They have been waiting until today for humanity to develop and reach a stage where we will understand, in general, what space and spaceships are,” Eshed said.
