Lara Trump is making waves with a truly wild claim: President Trump is apparently holding onto a secret speech about alien life and spaceships, and he’s just waiting for the “right time” to deliver it to the world, as reported by The Hill. This is definitely a bombshell if it’s true.
Lara Trump shared that she and her husband, Eric, have tried to get answers from President Trump about UFOs and aliens. She mentioned, “We’ve kind of asked my father-in-law about this, we all want to know about the UFOs, and he played a little coy with us.” She further added, “I’ve heard kind of around, I think 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 when the right time is, he’s going to break out and talk about and it has to do with maybe some sort of extraterrestrial life.”
Of course, this claim immediately sparked questions, and White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt was asked about it. Leavitt admitted that a speech on aliens would be incredibly exciting and generate massive interest, but she said it was “news to me.” She stated, “I’ll have to check in with our speech writing team.” Leavitt then added that such a topic would be “of great interest to me personally, and I’m sure all of you in this room and apparently former President Obama, too.”
This isn’t the first time extraterrestrial discussions have hit the headlines recently, especially with former President Obama weighing in
Obama had clarified in recent days that he hasn’t seen any evidence that aliens are real, after some comments he made seemed to hint at his knowledge of alien life. Initially, he said on a podcast, “They’re real but I haven’t seen them.” He also added, “And they’re not being kept in, what is it? Area 51. There’s no underground facility unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States.”
Later, Obama took to Instagram to clarify his remarks, explaining that he was trying to answer in a light-hearted way during a rapid-fire question round. He wrote, “Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there.” However, he quickly tempered that by saying, “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. Really!”
The idea of visitors from other worlds has truly captivated both lawmakers and the American public. House members have even held a series of hearings and classified briefings about the phenomenon of unidentified flying objects, which the government now refers to as unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP.
Back in July 2023, a House hearing featured some pretty jaw-dropping testimony from David Grusch, a former military intelligence officer and whistleblower. He asserted that the Pentagon and other agencies are actually withholding information about UAP. Grusch even claimed that the government is hiding a “multi-decade” program focused on trying to reverse-engineer nonhuman technology that the U.S. government has allegedly retrieved from crash sites.
The Pentagon, for its part, has denied Grusch’s claims. Furthermore, a March 2024 report further shot down claims that the U.S. had reverse-engineered alien spacecraft or that the government is hiding off-world technology or extraterrestrial biological material. So, while the official word is a denial, the speculation and public interest definitely aren’t going away anytime soon. Also, this makes you wonder if it’s a ploy to divert the public from the Epstein Files chaos.
