Trump Promises to UFO-Spy Everyone While Picking Favorite Conspiracies

KEY POINTS

•President Trump announced plans in February 2026 to release government files on UFOs and extraterrestrials, capitalizing on decades-old conspiracies.
•His previous selective declassifications included high-profile assassination documents of JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King Jr., sparking demand for full disclosure.
•Polls show over half of Americans believe aliens exist, with experts noting aliens are an entertaining obsession fueled by political complexity and pop culture.

President Donald Trump, the only commander-in-chief doubling as America’s top UFO archivist, vowed this week to declassify top-secret alien files, adding to his 2025 hobby of dropping JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King Jr. assassination dossiers like mixtapes. According to Keith Livers, an associate professor at UT Austin, Americans now demand ‘receipts’ because, apparently, government transparency is as stable as a TikTok fad. Meanwhile, 56% of U.S. adults believe aliens exist, inspired in part by the infamous 1947 Roswell incident—a Roswell so legendary even Obama danced around confirming ETs, while Trump accused him of giving away state secrets over something seemingly out of X-Files fan fiction. University of Miami professor Joseph Uscinski notes alien obsession beats most global interests, probably because Hollywood’s alien blockbusters do better than politicians explaining anything.
