Lol no one would've told Trump any of that even after he was elected

They probably gave him documents on it, but he's borderline illiterate so he wouldn't have touched them.

That’s why he still had classified documents after he left office. He couldn’t figure out what the big red letters “Top Secret” meant.

He probably got it confused with "Pop Secret" and thought he stole the national popcorn reserve.

If the documents didn't say his name in the first couple of sentences, he wouldn't read them.

Yeah I'd be pretty sure the team around him would have been very careful about what information they gave him.

They went through all this in Independence Day. "Plausible deniability."

In order to learn anything about it, Trump would have had to have been curious about it, and since the subject is Area 51 and not Donald Trump you can be certain that it didn't cross his mind even once.
