Former President Donald Trump recently disclosed the most frequent question he encounters from the public.
During an appearance on Greg Gutfeld's Fox News show, an audience member inquired about the existence of extraterrestrials in Area 51, the infamous military base in Arizona that has been a hotbed of alien conspiracy theories for years.
According to Newsweek, Trump responded, "I think that might be a question I get more than any other. It is the craziest thing." He then recounted a conversation he had with several pilots at the White House, who shared their encounter with an unidentified flying object (UFO). "They were in the Oval Office, these three or four pilots, and these are not the kinds of people who make up stories. They said 'all I know, sir, is that there was a round object going faster than my F-22,' which is a very fast plane."
The former President also humorously addressed the recent assassination attempt on his life at his Florida golf course. "I haven't been thinking about it too much lately, but I've always said golf is a very dangerous game," he quipped. "It's always a consequential president that gets shot at." Trump commended the Secret Service for their swift action, spotting the barrel of the would-be shooter's gun hidden in a bush, and lauded them for doing "an amazing job."
Earlier this year, in June, Trump made similar remarks about extraterrestrial life during an interview. He reiterated his encounter with the pilots, stating, "I have met with pilots...they are not conspiratorial, they are not crazy, and they tell me stories that they've seen things that you wouldn't believe."
In response to influencer Logan Paul's question about the possibility of information on aliens being concealed from him, Trump suggested the existence of a "deep state" that could be withholding such knowledge. "I guess so. You have the deep state. And you do have the deep state..." he said. "It's very possible there is something. And why wouldn't there be? You look at the universe and you see all of the different planets and you see... look, here we are, one relatively small planet. Why wouldn't there be, on a planet that's 400 times the size? Why wouldn't there be something, somebody?"
The former President's comments have sparked further intrigue and speculation about the existence of extraterrestrial life and the potential secrets of Area 51. His remarks also underscore the ever-present risks faced by those in high office, even during seemingly innocuous activities like golf.
