Yes. Since 50% or so of peeps dislike Trump...the release is a good ploy.
The people who hate Trump but believe in UFO’s will be conflicted. They will think Trump is OK cause he is open minded on UFO’s...but how can they justify their reflexive hatred?
People who like Trump and believe in UFO’s will be happier about Trump
People who dislike Trump but don’t believe in UFO’s will be at odds with other Trump haters who like the fact that Trump released the files
Trump supporters who don’t believe in UFO’s won’t change.
And Trump will have distracted many from the Iran nuclear bomb issue.
Clinton used this tactic during 1996 election period when NASA released the report that “fossils” were found on Mars ...was complete conjecture, btw.
If and it’s the biggest IF in human history, the government has definitive proof of alien life and has retrieved alien spacecraft, with pictures, videos, etc.
It would be biggest announcement in human history; it would totally rewrite physics as we know it that intelligent has found a way to overcome the space time continuum.
Some people will never accept the proof, the way to get the most people to accept that we are not alone is a bipartisan approach of all former living Presidents to all say the same thing.
