Lara Trump says Donald Trump has a secret ‘speech’ on aliens he’s saving for the ‘right time’

Lara Trump says President Donald Trump may be holding back more than he lets on when it comes to aliens.Appearing on the New York Post’s Pod Force One podcast, hosted by Miranda Devine, Lara suggested that her father-in-law has something prepared, but is waiting for the right moment.“What’s kind of funny is we’ve kind of asked my father-in-law about this cause we’re like, ‘Well, what do you know?...’” she said on the episode published Wednesday.She added that when she and her husband, Eric Trump, pressed him on the topic of extraterrestrials, he didn’t offer much.“Eric and I were like, ‘Oh my gosh, he won’t even fully tell us, maybe there’s more to it,’” she said, noting that the president “played a little coy.”Then came the claim that sparked online buzz.“I have just heard kind of around that he’s actually said, my father-in-law has actually said it, that there is some speech that he has, that I guess at the right time...I don’t know what the right time is...that he is going to break out and talk about, and it has to do with maybe some sort of extraterrestrial life, so to speak,” Lara said.Lara’s remarks followed a separate viral moment involving former President Barack Obama.During an appearance on the No Lie With Brian Tyler Cohen podcast, Obama was asked about extraterrestrials. He responded: “They’re real, but I haven’t seen them, and they’re not being kept in, what is it? There’s no underground facility, unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States.” Clips of the exchange quickly spread online, with some viewers interpreting his words as confirmation that aliens exist.Obama later addressed the reaction on Instagram. “I was trying to stick with the spirit of the speed round, but since it’s gotten attention let me clarify,” he wrote. “Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there.”“But the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we’ve been visited by aliens is low, and I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us,” he continued.He ended the clarification with a single word: “Really!”Speculation around UFOs has long centered on Area 51, the secretive military installation in southern Nevada that conspiracy theorists claim hides evidence of alien life.Adding to the chatter is the documentary The Age of Disclosure, directed by Dan Farah. In the film, Farah argues that a sweeping government cover-up has concealed evidence of non-human intelligence.“I think it's only a matter of time before the release of this film is followed by a sitting president stepping to the podium and telling the world, ‘We're not alone in the universe,’” Farah told Entertainment Weekly in late November.“It's the most significant moment a leader could possibly have.”
