Trump Says He’s Not a UFO Believer But “Anything’s Possible”

Trump Says He’s Not a UFO Believer But “Anything’s Possible” Paul Seaburn July 6, 2019

“I’m not a believer, but you know, I guess anything is possible.” If you’ve been curious about what President Trump thinks about UFO’s, in an interview with Tucker Carlson from the Fox News Channel, which took place while the president was in South Korea recently, he revealed that he’s “not a believer” in unidentified flying objects. If you’re curious about what he thinks in particular about the UFOs that Navy pilots have been reporting and which have been recorded on radar, he had this to say:

“Well, I don’t want to really get into it too much. But personally, I tend to doubt it.” That answer comes after the president was briefed on those sightings by the Pentagon, Navy officials and staff from the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. Sen. Mark Warner, the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, other members of Congress and their staffers of the Armed Service and Defense Appropriations committees were also briefed. Is the president saying he doubts that they are unidentified or he doubts that they are alien?

“I mean, you have people that swear by it, right? And pilots have come in and they said — and these are pilots that have — not pilots that are into that particular world, but we have had people saying that they’ve seen things.” “That particular world.” Is the president implying that people who believe in, research or are at least open to the possibility of UFOs existing are in some way different than others? Does this make them somehow less believable? Carlson didn’t ask the president about the UFOs that have been seen in his own airspace. UFOs were seen following his plane during his campaign and twice on the day of his inauguration. Four were reported over the Trump Turnberry golf course in Scotland in 2018. One would think that the president would have been notified – either in his capacity as commander-in-chief or as the owner of the course. Wouldn’t he have wanted to know?

Here’s a better question … would he have believed the report, especially if it had come from someone ‘in that particular world’? He seemed to answer this question when Carlson pressed him about a report that the U.S. is in possession of UFO wreckage at a facility on an Air Force Base – which has been rumored for decades about multiple crashes and multiple bases.

“I don’t assume it’s correct. But, I have an open mind, Tucker.” So, even if it’s a person who will “swear by it,” even if it’s evidence that warrants briefings by high-ranking military officials to high-ranking government officials all the way up to the president himself, he still doesn’t assume it’s correct?

The president has given similar answers to two different news channels on opposite ends of the political spectrum but possibly similar ends of the UFO one. It would be easy to assume he’s being evasive for national security reasons … except he’s ignored those reasons for other questions.

Is it too late?

The Navy pilots have identified themselves and risked their careers to report what they saw. These are members of the military honored on the Fourth of July … and are now “‘in that particular world.” Can we still keep saying there are two of these worlds?

DJT seems more open minded than the establishment mindset.

Sounds reasonable to me. Probably the same answer I would give.

Why is this ‘ufo’ thing all of a sudden in the news?

I’ve seen about a dozen articles written about it since the beginning of the year.

Probably due to the release of the USN videos and the DOD supporting their veracity.

A UFO is an ‘unidentified’ flying object....until it’s identified. So most would agree we’ve all seen those we can’t identify even if they are actually known.

As for outer-space aliens as UFO’S......until they can show evidence beside blurred photos and fake shots I’ll say it’s a fun hobby for those who want to believe without real evidence.

Yet another form of mass hysteria; you would think with the proliferation of smartphones and iPhones and a camera on every device and full-motion video as well that some really good video would be had of these so-called “UFOs” and posted to YouTube, BitChute and social media ... but no, sadly, that is not the case.

I kind of feel the same way, so hearing him say that reminds me of how refreshing he is to have in the White House.

He says things the way we might say them.

Barack Obama would have said, “Nooo...Little Green men aren’t a reality. We would know about it.”

Geez.

Who would you rather have making decisions? Someone who knows that they don’t know (and can’t know) everything, or someone who says they do know everything (and even thinks that is possible)?

I guess if stepping on your dick make you learn some hard lessons in life, that rules out Obama!

Yes, that's true. Anything, or darn near anything, is possible in this near-infinite universe in which we live.

And I mean ANYTHING!

“I’m not a believer, but you know, I guess anything is possible.”

That's the smart answer. If he said he believed UFOs or that extraterrestrials may exist, the next day the mainstream media would go crazy with the talking point: "Trump believes in little green men!"

Good answer.
As always, for the UFO folks, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Yeah, because US Government, the Navy, and DOD are scrupulously honest with the American people when it comes to discussing security threats. And they never use that kind of information in misdirection to cover classified programs.

If this is real, and it was real UFOs, they would have dragged that pilot in and told him he was going to be in solitary in Leavenworth he ever discussed it oh, and forced him to sign an NDA. And very last on the list of things they would dude, is notified the American people of something out there that they don’t know what is.

Well of course they are UFOs. But they are not alien.

I think we all “know” that deep down.
