    My question here is, why the fuck would aliens initiate contact with the USA when the rest of the world is right there.

    Oh so improperly handling classified information is a bad thing now because the black guy did it? What a fucking loser

    I remember seeing Obama in a recent you tube vid a few days ago speaking about aliens. Now trump is shouting about aliens. Trump’s ODS is in full swing at all times. (Obama Derangement Syndrome).

    I know the US Government doesn’t have proof of aliens. Trump would have already used it to distract from the Epstein files.

    “I don’t know if they’re real or not… I can tell you he gave classified information.”

    If he doesn’t know if they are real or not, how does he know if Obama gave out classified information?

    Ohh right. Common sense and logic don’t apply here. I forgot.

    Edit: fixed a typo.

      “Someone told me Obama did it, and I don’t care to verify the information because it fits my worldview.”

      I would guess that his logic essentially amounts to “Obama is black and I don’t like him, so he’s in trouble, and I don’t really care what sort of trouble it is, only that I can somehow make it stick”

    So either Trump is correct that Obama revealed classified information, which: Awesome! Aliens are real, man!

    Or Trump is a lying piece of shit who believes that revealing classified information is a crime, which: Awesome! Prosecute yourself, asshole!

      Statistically its highly unlikely we’re the only intelligent life in the universe. He believes the numbers.

      But has any intelligent life visited Earth? Obama doesn’t know, but there are no aliens at Area 51.

      You can’t classify a non-fact.

      Trump huffs martian paint!

        There are a billion stars in our galaxy.

        There are between 100 billion and 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe.

        That’s roughly 10^24 stars, each of which might have (at some point in time) contained life on one of their many planets. Even if our Earth is a one in a trillion statistical anomaly, that still leaves like a billion or so Earths that could have life. Whether they are intelligent and whether they achieved intelligence at the same time as us is a whole different story.

        Like you said: that doesn’t mean they’ve visited us.

        Is it that unlikely? The universe isn’t just really big it’s also fucking old. We might have missed the party or we might be the first. I’d be hard pressed to put a statistical number on that.

        They didn’t tell him because he is classified as a hidden security risk … he would scream it out at random.

        Considering that he’s never leaving office, I doubt he cares about president precedents.

          I actually think he’s conceded the point that he will be leaving office eventually. That’s why he’s doubling down on his “Board of Peace” grift, not only will he be able to steal money from it but he thinks it will give him some sort of diplomatic immunity.

        Perhaps you forgot he already posted an AI video of Obama being shoved to the floor in the oval office and arrested by the FBI.

    The Obama administration responded to a petition and gave a vague answer about aliens.
