Trump roasted as 'never-before-seen' data dump berated as another Epstein 'distraction'

The Department of Defense released what it called a "UFO" website Friday, but critics labeled it no more than a distraction.

In a Truth Social post in February, President Donald Trump said he would "be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs)."

On Friday, the Pentagon unveiled the war.gov/ufo website, which showcases "never-before-seen" files and videos on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon (UAP).

The release was met with celebration from MAGA faithful, but others seemed to see through the move as a distraction from the war in Iran.

"I really don't care about the UFO files," former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) wrote. "I'm so sick of the 'look at the shiny object' propaganda while they wage foreign wars, let rapists and pedophiles run free, and ruin the value of our dollar."

"Now can you guys tell the truth about the girls school bombed in Iran?" she added. "And stop spending our money fighting another stupid war on behalf of Israel."

"Another distraction from the Epstein Files," popular military observer MenchOsint noted.

"Lmao….gas is at $5 a gallon because of Trump's pointless war with Iran, so to distract the morons they're releasing some UFO bullsh—," activist X user "Wu Tang is for the Children" told its 300,000 followers.

"The Great Deception is about to arrive," philosophy professor Daniel O'Connor wrote. "Do not be deceived. Do not let your loved ones be deceived."

"At least we're not talking about the Epstein files," Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO) told Real America's Voice.

"What I find most fascinating about the release of the UAP files is that Donald Trump's government is covering up his connections to Jeffrey Epstein," former Republican strategist Rick Wilson observed.
