      The video evidence in those files must be devastating. Rotating through Attorneys General just to slow things down as much as possible.

    Does anyone else think that all of this alien talk is just theater to entertain everybody and distract from what’s going on?

      Wait what are people actually thinking? All my friends and coworkers think Trump is using the war as a distraction from the epstein files

      You notice the interest in UFOs and stuff are at an all time low? Despite the unbelievable availability of cameras, we are not seeing any really good UFO photos or sightings. It is almost like if Aliens are there, they decided to do a big ‘nope’ and go elsewhere.

      But I saw a video documenting this and it showed that in some way the decline has happened was that due to the past 20 years of severe government incompetence the idea that the government would be able to hide and manage something as big as alien visitations is no longer believable.

        Actually I’ve never seen more UFO content online than in the past month. I think this is probably driven by the Artemis mission generating interest in space- I think people were consuming UFO content so algorithms started recommending to everyone. But in general I think 99.99% is a fabricated distraction.

          It’s not so much a decline in discussion, more a decline in claimed sightings or reports. Used to be that someone would see something weird, something they couldn’t explain them selves, and then they’d go tell people about it, but their story would be patchy, low on details, and eventually someone would be like “must have been aliens!” when no one else had a good explanation.

          But now people just take a high resolution video with a phone, they post it online, and someone who recognizes what’s going on immediately explains it, thus it doesn’t get noted as a UFO/UAP because it has been identified.

          Thus there is a lot less “unidentified” things for people to default to assuming are aliens. Notably a lot of the things people like to point to these days are videos from thermal cameras taken at super long distances with details are poorly resolved, thus making it harder to “identify”.

      Even if this wasn’t Donald Trump specifically, half the allure of the “Government is covering up the aliens” is that it’s a government cover-up. Why would anyone believe the folks who spent decades obscuring this information are going to just document dump it “very soon”?

      What’s the fun of a conspiracy if it’s just headline news?

    The epstein trump files will never go away and neither should the video of him audibly shitting his pants in the oval office and his minions quickly clearing the room to change his diaper

    Well, for one he’s a child rapist. So that’s a lot more disturbing to people with morals.

    However, most importantly, he’s a liar. And we can’t trust that he’s actually going to release absolutely anything important. So saying this truly means nothing even if someone were monstrous enough to look past the child rape part.

      I just hope for the next 100 years people who hear republicans say “but what about the children” respond every time: “YOUR PARTY DEFENDED AND REELECTED A RAPIST AND PEDOPHILE FOR OVER A DECADE”

      Thank you. Thank you, sit down. Beautiful crowd. They said you couldn’t fill a hangar like this, and look at this…it’s packed. The fake news will say it’s half empty. It’s not. It’s totally full.

      So we have a situation. With the aliens. And I have to say, nobody has dealt with aliens…and I mean that in the traditional sense, the space sense…nobody has dealt with them better than me. I’ve been saying for years, years, that we needed to protect our airspace. Did anyone listen? The generals didn’t listen. Very bad generals, by the way. I have better generals now.

      But here’s the thing…and I want to tell you a quick story, because it’s relevant…a guy came up to me last week, big strong guy, military guy, tough as nails, tears streaming down his face, he said ‘Sir, I never thought I’d see this.’ And I said ‘I know.’ I just said ‘I know.’ It was beautiful actually.

      Now these…and I call them the extraterrestrials, which is a word, a very good word, people are saying it’s the perfect word…these extraterrestrials, they came to our planet, which is the greatest planet, I think we can all agree on that, and they thought, they thought they could just do whatever they wanted. Like they did with other planets. Probably. We’re looking into it.

      But here’s what they didn’t count on. Americans. And some other countries too, I guess. Canada’s involved, I hear. We’ll talk about the tariffs later… that’s a separate thing.

      The point is…and I do have a point…we are not going to go quietly. I never go quietly. Ask anyone. Ask my people. We fight. And maybe we lose some, and that’s sad, tremendous loss, tremendous, some of the greatest people, but we fight. Because if we don’t fight…and I was talking to Elon about this, brilliant guy, he gets it…if we don’t fight, there’s nothing left. No more rallies. No more. Can you imagine, no more Mar-a-Lago? These aliens, they don’t understand what they’re dealing with.

      Today…and I’m going to wrap up because I know you’ve been standing a long time and I appreciate it, I really do, tremendous people…today we show them. Today, America leads. Not just America, but America first. And then the others.

      …And look, I’ve given a lot of speeches. A lot. Some people say the best speeches, and I’m not saying that, they say it. But this one… this one is different. Because we are at a moment. A real moment. We are not going quietly. I don’t do quiet, never have, ask anybody. We are not going quietly into the night… we are not going quietly into the darkness of what these aliens thought they were bringing here… because we don’t do that. We fight. Always have. It’s in our DNA, tremendous DNA by the way, the best… And we will have our victory. A big one. Bigger than anyone thought possible, and I always thought it was possible, I said it from the beginning… I said it and nobody believed me and now look…

      Today… we are going to celebrate. Not just July 4th, which is a great day, beautiful day, very important historically… but something bigger. Something they will write about, in the history books, in the beautiful history books… the day we looked up at those ships, those very unfair ships, and we said no. Not here. Not us.

      Today… we celebrate our Independence Day. Thank you. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America. Only country I’d want to save the planet from, and honestly it’s not even close.

          Very well done, but much too coherent. It captures his tone but all of the tangents are resolved properly and it returns to the the main point each time. There’s no long rambling until he forgets what he’s talking about or stories that just trail off into nothing.
