On the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, Trump talked about aliens
He wrote: "Given the public's great interest in this issue, I will instruct the Secretary of War and other relevant departments and agencies to initiate the relevant procedures to identify and release government files related to extraterrestrial and alien life, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO), as well as all information related to these highly complex yet fascinating and important topics."
Trump also answered journalists' questions on Air Force One
Journalist: Obama said that aliens are real. Have you seen evidence that non-human visitors have come to Earth?
Trump: He leaked classified information. He shouldn't have done it at all.
Journalist: So, are aliens real?
Trump: I don't know if they're real. He made a big mistake.
Comment: Trump announced the release of UFO files while accusing Obama of "leaking secrets," but he himself admitted he didn't know whether aliens exist. This operation has mastered the American political traffic password to the extreme. He created suspense and harvested public attention with the most interesting extraterrestrial topic, shaping an image of transparency and approachability under the guise of "decryption." At the same time, he used the accusation of "leaking secrets" to attack opponents and strengthen his own "secrecy keeper" image. The logic is self-contradictory but highly infectious. Fundamentally, this is not a serious national security issue, but a performative diplomacy serving political popularity and public focus. It is more about spectacle than substance, more about hype than truth.
