Lara Trump said her father-in-law, President Donald Trump, recently made her believe “there’s more to” the rumors about extraterrestrial life and that he’ll deliver a speech about it at the “right time.”

On the “Pod Force One” podcast Wednesday, host Miranda Devine asked the Trump family member if she thinks the president is “about to make an announcement on UFOs” after former President Barack Obama said that aliens are “real” over the weekend. (Obama later clarified that he’d seen no evidence of that during his time in the White House.)

“What’s funny is, we’ve kind of asked my father-in-law about this, ’cause we’re like, ‘Well, what do you know?’” responded Trump, who is married to the president’s son Eric. “Miranda, we all want to know about the UFOs. We all want to know what’s going on.”

“And he played a little coy with us,” she continued. “And so that of course led us to believe — Eric and I were like, ‘Oh my gosh, if he won’t even, like, fully tell us, maybe there’s more to it.’”

Trump later added, “I think my father-in-law’s actually said it — that there is some speech that he has that, I guess at the right time, and I don’t know when the right time is, he’s gonna break out and talk about [it]. And it has to do with maybe some sort of extraterrestrial life, so to speak.”

Noting that she considers herself a “numbers person,” Trump told Devine that it would be “pretty wild” to think that we’re alone in the universe.

“I don’t have any information. I feel like there might be information out there, and hopefully it’s going to be able to be told to all of us very soon. We’ll see,” she added.

Devine then pressed Trump on whether she thinks the president “acts as if he believes there are UFOs.”

“I mean, he’s kind of been very cool about it. ... The way he says things, they make a difference sometimes,” she replied.

Her father-in-law has “been a little different about” the topic of alien life, she said, “So, it makes me personally think that there’s something that he knows that the rest of us don’t know.”

While the president has alluded to receiving information about the existence of UFOs over the years, he has also expressed skepticism about extraterrestrials, telling podcaster Joe Rogan in 2024 that he has never been “a believer.”
