EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump and a number of his top national security and defense officials refuted Biden administration officials' claims that Chinese surveillance balloons briefly transited the continental United States during the Trump administration, saying it "never happened."
A defense official on Saturday said Chinese spy balloons briefly traveled over the United States at least three times during the last administration.
But Trump and his officials said that did not occur and criticized the Biden administration for spreading disinformation.
"This never happened. It would have never happened," Trump told Fox News Digital on Sunday morning, adding that Beijing "respected us greatly" under his leadership.
"It never happened with us under the Trump administration and if it did, we would have shot it down immediately," Trump said. "Its disinformation."

Its a total LIE how do I know, simple..the New York Slimes would have leaked it within TWO SECONDS of it happening..the majority of those in Trump’s cabinet stabbed him in the back, writing books about him, Bolton, Pompeo and others, ya think maybe just maybe they would have added this lil tidbit in it..and the Pentagon, ya mean the same Pentagon that lied about WMD’s and saying that Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation ya mean THAT Pentagon..please, they are doing this to cover for Biden’s sorry ass, to say “See Trump did it too so stop bashing Biden” this is what the left does, they make a lie, and a year later we find out “Oh did we say three balloons, yeah we meant NONE our bad” if they are claiming this is true, FINE, show us the proof, I want to see pictures, when it happened, what day, etc..put up or shut up!
If Bolton says its a lie than its a lie..Bolton would LOVE nothing better than to go on tv and claim it was true so if he is denying it than its total BS
I heard it on one of the news shows.
It should have been shot down before it got to the mainland..
I am 100% positive we would have heard about it, if it were true. It isn’t, it’s just another pinko lie.
bkmk
The DOD needs to PROVE IT or issue a RETRACTION.
Accept nothing less!!!!!!!
It figures. I kenw it was a lie when they said it.
We would have noticed three big balloons transiting the US just like we did this one.
Disgusting pukes.
I found a Forbes article that said two things about this:
- Three balloons flew over the US during Trump
- Those three flew near Hawaii, not over CONUS
LYING is what DEMONCRATS DO!!
Shooting down balloons is easy.
Stopping invasions at the border is hard.
They did not refute it, they just denied it.
It was identified, made public and allowed to traverse the whole of the US under Biden.
It was worse under Trump. (outright lie)
It’s just a spy satellite. (you don’t know that)
Nobody was hurt. (love this one, not yet maybe)
And that’s what-about-ism. No fair!D
BUMP
Butwhataboutism is stupid regardless of what side does it.
President Ice Cream’s admin is stupid for doing it now.
then it should be easy to verify then... right???
