    It’s quite simple. If the US had evidence that aliens existed, do you think Donald Trump would gave kept it a secret? He would make a big show of insisting to be the guy who they talk to when they say “Take me to your leader”, and he wouldn’t be able to resist telling us all about it.

      You could get him to keep the secret forever: “Mr. President, it’s my duty to inform you that space aliens are real. But they only want to talk to Obama.”

      It’s also possible they never told him. I can imagine more secretive and/or shady government agencies only provide info on a need-to-know basis even to the executive level.
