Trump replied, “I’ll tell you, it’s a funny thing because I think that might be a question that I get more than any question. It is the craziest thing. So we have that so-called area, they consider it like a sacred area, and I will say this, I don’t think I’m a believer, but I have interviewed pilots that look – I like Tom Cruise – but better than Tom Cruise.”

He continued, “They were in the Oval Office, three or four pilots, these are not people that makeup stories, they said, ‘All I know, sir, is there was a round object that was going four times faster than my F-22,’ which is a very fast plane.”

Trump concluded, “Four or five guys I’ve interviewed, solid people, great pilots for the U.S. Air Force, etcetera, they’ve seen things that they cannot explain.”

    The dude thinks only pretty people are worthy humans. Can an ugly person not be truthful too? Or be a good pilot?

      I also think he believes that Tom Cruise really is a hotshot pilot because of the Top Gun movies. Because his dementia is that bad.

        I’m sure his dementia makes all this worse, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he believed Tom Cruise was a hotshot pilot when Top Gun first came out. He’s never been particularly smart or in touch with reality.

      Trump is ugly and Trump isn’t truthful. Logic checks out for once 🤷

      Based on Trump’s appearance and his penchant for lying, I’m going to have to say “no”. I’m willing to consider with other ugly people.
