Recently leaked government documents confirm that representatives from an advanced intergalactic federation visited the White House during Donald Trump’s first term. The meeting, intended to assess Earth’s readiness for inclusion in a vast cosmic alliance, lasted just under an hour before the delegation abruptly made their excuses and left.
According to classified transcripts, the visitors—described as “tall, luminous beings with an air of quiet dismay”—arrived hoping to establish diplomatic relations. However, the conversation quickly veered off course.
Upon entering the Oval Office, Trump reportedly greeted them enthusiastically, commenting, “You guys look fantastic—very sleek, very futuristic. Love the robes. You don’t see quality like that anymore. You could sell those for a fortune, believe me.” He then gestured to an aide and whispered, “Get Ivanka on the phone, maybe we can do a deal.”
Communication proved difficult. Despite the delegation’s advanced linguistic capabilities, the President frequently interrupted. At one point, after what was described as a beautifully complex display of multi-layered vocalizations and telepathic transmissions, Trump nodded approvingly and said, “That is a beautiful way of communicating, really something, but I’m not really getting much, just the odd word.”
He then launched into a long and winding monologue, touching on topics that included the historic success of Space Force, his range of fragrances (“you wouldn’t think a businessman could do a scent this good, but I did”), his watches (“some of the finest timepieces, very classy, you guys should take some”), his appearance in Home Alone 2 (“one of the most famous cameos, people still talk about it, they love it”), and how he had “heard from a lot of very smart people” that black holes might actually be “very profitable, if you think about it.”
As the delegation sat in silence, possibly reevaluating their entire mission, Trump finally circled back to their presence in the room. “I love space. I really do. People don’t know this, but I probably know more about intergalactic life than anyone. I watched Star Trek—great show, by the way, very realistic. And let me tell you, I get it. I understand this stuff better than the scientists, frankly.”
At this point, sources say the aliens began exchanging subtle glances—the universal signal for we need to leave immediately. Within moments, the lead envoy clapped their hands together and said, “Well, this has been… illuminating.” Another quickly added, “We really should be going. Urgent matters in the… Andromeda sector.”
Staff attempted to keep them engaged, offering refreshments, but the delegation declined, with one envoy politely waving away a Diet Coke and mumbling something about “needing to be anywhere else.” They then activated their departure sequence and vanished in a shimmering field of light.
Two weeks later, a brief transmission arrived via undisclosed channels:
“We appreciate the opportunity to assess your civilization. After careful consideration, we have determined that Earth is not a suitable candidate for integration into the Intergalactic Federation at this time. We encourage you to focus on internal development, responsible governance, and cooperative planetary stewardship. We will not be making further contact.”
The leaked documents conclude with a note from an intelligence officer who observed, “They didn’t even pretend to be interested. They just left. Like guests at a dinner party where the host won’t stop talking about himself.”
NASA has declined to comment, though one scientist was overheard muttering, “That was our one shot.”
This is satire, of course. The real world is nothing like that…
