Donald Trump Jr. Explores UFO Mysteries and Government Cover-Ups on Triggered Podcast

Donald Trump Jr., known for his hard-line views on immigration, showed a very different kind of enthusiasm this week—about aliens from outer space. The president-elect’s eldest son hosted UFO/UAP experts on his Triggered podcast, diving into extraterrestrial theories and government cover-ups.

Australian journalist Ross Coulthart, a prominent voice on UFO investigations, joined Trump Jr. on the show. Coulthart has presented his findings to Congress and appeared on 60 Minutes. His upcoming broadcast on News Nation reportedly exposes a secret government effort to recover crashed vehicles, allegedly including some of non-human origin.

“What is going on is there are people in the national security state who have taken it upon themselves to conceal the expenditure of billions if not trillions of dollars on a program that the public has every right to know about,” Coulthart said during the podcast.

Trump Jr., described by The Daily Beast as “bouncing in his seat, so giddy,” seemed to confirm his belief in extraterrestrial life. “None of this should surprise us,” he said on Rumble. “But it should surprise us that we can now say fairly definitively it seems that there’s evidence of non-human intelligence out there engaging with our planet. It’s also almost so shocking. It’s hard to digest.

I mean, this would be one of the biggest questions perhaps of eternity.” At one point, Coulthart playfully asked if Trump Jr. was an “experience,” referring to someone with direct alien abduction encounters. Trump Jr. denied it but admitted curiosity. “Not really. I wish. You know, uh, as a pilot, I’ve seen some stuff. I’ve spent a lot of time in the air, but I’ve not yet experienced the phenomenon directly.”

Trump Jr. also suggested that figures like Elon Musk should be included in secret government programs regarding advanced technologies. “Obviously, I’ve spent a lot more time with Elon Musk in the last few months during the transition. I’ve been down to see SpaceX launch and the technology that he’s been able to create.

You would think that they’d want to read in individuals like that,” he said, adding that Musk’s team is likely “far more competent than anyone we have in government.” Coulthart encouraged Trump Jr. to discuss potential UFO cover-ups with his father. Trump Jr. responded eagerly: “I’m working on it. We’re working on it. Promise.”

With Trump Jr.’s growing fascination with UFOs, some wonder if his enthusiasm could lead to a push for government transparency on extraterrestrial matters.
