UFOs are usually the preserve of science fiction, but lately they have been enjoying a newfound status across the US, infiltrating conversation from Washington to Kansas City. Donald Trump kicked the latest round off last week when, responding to a question about the rise in reports of unidentified aircraft by US navy pilots, he revealed that he had been briefed on UFO sightings.
The president told ABC News:
I think its probably
I want them to think whatever they think.
They do say,
and Ive seen,
and Ive read,
and Ive heard.
And I did have one very brief meeting on it.
But people are saying theyre seeing UFOs.
Do I believe it? Not particular.
Asked if he would be told if extraterrestrial life was found, Trump said:
Were watching, and youll be the first to know.
On Wednesday three senators including Mark Warner, vice-chair of the senate intelligence committee, had been given a classified Pentagon briefing about navy encounters with unidentified aircraft. If naval pilots are running into unexplained interference in the air, thats a safety concern Senator Warner believes we need to get to the bottom of, a spokesperson said.

(9,674 posts)Not paying attention to things because it's takes energy, then when asked about something specific he bullshits. It always worked before because he was the boss and couldn't be challenged.
Now that he's expected to be somewhat accountable, the BS technique has been laid bare although in his mind, he's still dazzling people with "brilliant" comments and answers.
He's completely and utterly clueless to how he comes across.
You nailed it, SWJ.
