WASHINGTON — Is the truth finally out there? According to Lara Trump, it might already be written down in the Oval Office. During a wide-ranging interview with host Miranda Devine, Lara revealed that she and her husband, Eric Trump, have frequently questioned the President about what the government knows concerning unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).
“What’s kind of funny is we’ve kind of asked my father-in-law about this,” Lara said. “I have just heard kind of around that he’s 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—he is going to break out and talk about. And it has to do with maybe some sort of extraterrestrial life.”
White House Plays it Cool
When asked about Lara Trump’s “bombshell” claim, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt maintained a playful yet cautious stance. During Wednesday’s press briefing, Leavitt admitted that the existence of such a speech was “news to her,” but she didn’t rule out the possibility.
“I’ll have to check in with our speechwriting team,” Leavitt said with a smile. “That would be of great interest to me personally, and I’m sure all of you in this room—and apparently former President Obama, too.”
The “Obama Effect”: Fact-Checking the Viral Clip
The buzz surrounding Lara Trump’s comments was largely amplified by a viral clip of Barack Obama on the No Lie podcast with Brian Tyler Cohen. During a rapid-fire round, Obama was asked if aliens were real, to which he replied, “They’re real, but I haven’t seen them.”
However, Obama quickly took to Instagram to clarify his “spirit of the speed round” response.
- The Reality Check: Obama stated that while the mathematical odds of life in a vast universe are high, he saw “no evidence” during his eight years in office that extraterrestrials have ever made contact with Earth.
- The Area 51 Myth: He joked that there is no secret underground facility unless it’s an “enormous conspiracy” hidden even from the Commander-in-Chief.
A Growing National Conversation
The timing of these remarks coincides with the recent release of the documentary The Age of Disclosure, directed by Dan Farah. The film features allies of the President, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has voiced concerns over unexplained objects operating over restricted U.S. nuclear facilities—intelligence he says “keeps me up at night.”
Whether the President’s alleged speech is a strategic political tool or a genuine revelation of non-human intelligence, the conversation has officially moved from the fringes of the internet to the heart of the White House.
