Might be a bit naive of us to think that the president would personally know any of this stuff - but there's probably at least one or two things he knows that we don't, and that he knows they know about..but that's not going to stop him from going on camera and saying "yeah, nobody knows". Basically SOP for ufos at this point.
There is also a question why is it that people think that only the US government "knows the truth" about aliens/ UFOs, or whatever you call them? Do they just take everyone's cameras when they film alien spaceships? There are also other governments - or are they all working secretly in tandem to hide alien presence from us? They are all erasing the memories of thousands of people who fly on passenger jets and erase their camera's flash drives.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
