Trump says he's heard 'interesting' things about Roswell

President Donald Trump says he’s heard some interesting things about Roswell, but he’s not sharing even with his eldest child.

Trump made the comments Thursday in a Father’s Day-themed interview with his son Don Trump Jr., hosted by the president’s reelection campaign. Don Jr. wound down his interview by jokingly asking his Dad/President if he would ever divulge more information about Roswell, the New Mexico city known for its proximity to arguably most famous UFO event — “and let us know what’s really going on.”

Trump responded, “I won’t talk to you about what I know about it, but it’s very interesting.”

He'll constantly claim to be in the know about everything, starting rumors with a wink and a nod and exacting revenge on his enemies. Trump will be cashing in on his ex-president status till the day he dies. I just wish there were some way of stripping this malevolent clown of all the perks and trappings former presidents enjoy.

His family will try to "L. Ron Hubbard" him and pretend he's not muttering and shitting himself in a basement Alzheimer's ward, but I doubt it will work. No one can stand any of them.

would receive that was kept from Dump. Given his propensity to blab and the fact that he’s a traitor, they probably kept a lot of sensitive data from him.

If he did know anything, Dump already gave it to Kislyak shortly after the inauguration, when he invited the Russians and the Russian press into the White House and the American press was kept out.

Plus, he's dumber than a box of rocks. If they told Dump anything, he already forgot it or he didn't understand it.

page by page. This makes me feel much better:

"Trump generally had only two intelligence briefings per week, and in most of those, he spoke at greater length than the briefers, often on matters completely unrelated to the subjects at hand."

Good thing he's a moron with the attention span of a drunken gnat.

and passed it along like it was Top Secret. No need to get our knickers in a twist thst he’ll blab state secrets since what they tell him is not secret. The joke’s on him.

And this is his best chance to strike at the deepest part of the deep state. Come on. A guy that won’t shut up doesn’t want to talk?

Blabbing on the aliens will have made this all slightly more worth it. It will also explain Pence.
