President-elect Trump on Drones: 'The government knows what is happening.'

President-elect Trump on drones: "The government knows what is happening. Look, our military knows where they took off from. If it's a garage they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went. For some reason they don't want to comment. I think they'd be better off saying what it is. Our military knows and our president knows and for some reason they want to keep people in suspense. I can't imagine it's the enemy because if it was the enemy they'd blast it out...They happen to be over Bedminster. They're very close to Bedminster. I think maybe I won't spend the weekend in Bedminster. I've decided to cancel my trip."

"I don´t want to comment on that" means "yes but I can´t tell you directly because i´d get in trouble" in 99% of the times

I hope if it's aliens they don't judge all of America after only visiting New Jersey.

The fact that he didn’t want to comment on that question tells me he absolutely received intelligence. Because you know if he didn’t, he’d have responded by complaining about that fact that he wasn’t briefed. So if he knows what’s going on, and he claims the government knows what’s going on, and that it isn’t “the enemy”, then I believe it’s probably related to military testing. If it was just hobbyists, why remain silent?

At best this is extreme incompetence, at worst something so bad is happening that their best choice is to just not say anything or a panic will happen

May God grant wisdom for Peace and truth. "Distrust naturally breeds distrust. Nothing undermines good relations between countries so quickly as insulting envy and false accusations, overt or veiled."

By the look of his face, we can clearly see that he knows that his life is at risk

[lo]

the best song for the situation is "THE GOVT. KNOWS" from KNOWER

[mrdondada]

It's aliens and he knows that's why he cancelled his trip

[QTOP]

reports that drones are searching for a dirty bomb and Trump says "He won't be staying in Bedminster New Jersey"

[nilocblue]

Not gonna lie, it's the first time I hear him sound coherent and logical and his viewpoint actually makes sense.

Right after the first question was asked the camera pans over to the reporters, & half of them have ish eaten grins on their faces bc even THEY know what these drones are about. Senile Biden won’t tell us, Kamala won’t tell us, reporters won’t tell us, 47 can’t tell us yet, & so #WeThePeople just have to deal with it. Great, just exactly what I always wished for…a lack of communication & absolutely zero transparency. Should it make us feel better that the reporters are smirking about drones over our heads the size of SUV’s? I don’t feel better, do you?

The high temp in Bedminister NJ over the next 10 days will range from 28 - 59 deg C, with only 1 of those days being above 50. I guarantee he had no plans to go golfing there this week.

"I don't wanna *SAY* it's aliens, but.... <.< >.> " kind of energy LOL

[lynndaniels]

As incoming and past President I'm sure he has rules he has to abide by and intelligence he is not allowed to share. That said he thinks the govt should just say what it is to eliminate all the speculation but he is also not allowed to comment on it. Also the only thing curious to me was him saying he was cancelling his trip to Bedminster because of the drones. Diversion or something to be concerned about for his safety or the people's?

[fracturedgamer]

tRump says the government should tell the people what's going on and then says real quick and in a hurry he doesn't want to comment on it either what a useful tool for Putin he is!

[LordAaronus]

they're not telling him cos it'd be a waste of breath and other stuff

[SteveninTune]

He definitely got Probed with gusto and vigor ❤ the butthurt is real 😮

[SantisandKisin]

So, he knows about it but wouldnt tell, hmm...

[garydavidson]

No worries ahead of faa is stepping down who was working on this very legislation lobbiest already in line to bring you products by drones 😂😂

[oscaraguilera]

Completely true, the government knows what it is, and they're creating intrigue. I wish the press had the same passion when asking the current president.
