If aliens arrive on Earth and the first human being they meet is Donald Trump, we’re in deep trouble. Ten seconds with Trump and humanity’s admission into the glorious galactic federation would be permanently blocked, and soon after that, they’d send in the Death Star lasers to scour the Earth’s surface clean. It’s the only way to be sure.
So it’s disquieting that Trump appears to be ready to announce the existence of aliens and their craft. The subject has recently been in the news after Barack Obama made the surprising disclosure that aliens are indeed real, though he quickly clarified that was just his opinion rather than from direct experience of meeting them.
