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."

1) Millions of cellphone cameras and many thousands of standalone digital cameras (many with powerful zoom lens).
2) FAA certified commercial airplane tracking radar that could track objects flying as high as 65,600 feet.
...Would have easily found any slow-moving balloon flying over. And both were common way back in 2017.
UAP’s
During Biden’s term for 2 years. There have been 391 UAP’s around or in our airspace Vs the 119 over 17 years.

Page 1. “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) reporting is increasing, enabling a greater awareness of the airspace and increased opportunity to resolve UAP events. In addition to the 144 UAP reports covered during the 17 years of UAP reporting included in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) preliminary assessment, there have been 247 new reports and another 119 that were either since discovered or reported after the preliminary assessment’s time period. This totals 510 UAP reports as of 30 August 2022. Additional information is provided in the classified version of this report.”

“UAP continue to represent a hazard to flight safety and pose a possible adversary collection threat. Since the publication of the ODNI preliminary assessment in June 2021, UAP reporting has increased, partially due to a concentrated effort to destigmatize the topic of UAP and instead recognize the potential risks that it poses as both a safety of flight hazard and potential adversarial activity. Whereas there were previously 144 UAP reports covered during the 17 years of UAP reporting included in the ODNI preliminary assessment on UAP, there have been 247 more UAP reports during the 17 months since. Combined with another 119 reports either discovered or reported late that fell within the original 17 year period but were not included in the preliminary assessment, a total of 510 UAP reports are currently catalogued.
“Instances of this kind of balloon activity have been observed previously over the past several years. Once the balloon was detected, the U.S. government acted immediately to protect against the collection of sensitive information.”
(No indication of when /which years. But, action was taken immediately).
We’re surrounded by lies and liars.
We could only see it when it armed its phasers
The world has gone bat merd crazy, exactly what Kaiser Klaus and the “Committee” want. Get ready to fight back, it is life, Liberty or DEATH.
That means these Ballons not so briefly had to have flown over Kanadikstan. So Justine Trudope should be stepping to the Mic to confirm this any minute now...tic tok...tic tok...
Donnerwetter! Goebbels speaking Yiddish? Who knew? ;-)
Was the spycraft a U.S. government operation? Which president put a stop to those totally unfair trade policies with China? They were killing us, who put a stop to that? Who was on the take?
Now literally everything we touch, see and purchase is from China.
You'd think this would make people take to the streets, or at least cause wide spread alarm.
We’re supposed to now believe the TLAs had Trumps back and hid the balloons to protect him. ????
They really think we’re stupid.
Trump closed the border to China by January 31, 2020. He was called a xenophob by Pelosie and MSM.
US Military/DOD ...”Trust us, we made sure no data was transmitted...”
Trump bought into that China containing the virus. It was reported on January 23rd, 2020….,, “ President Donald Trump thanked Chinese President Xi Jinping for his country's handling of the coronavirus, shortly after American health officials confirmed a second case in the United States. "China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus," Trump wrote in a post on Twitter. "The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!"
In an interview on Wednesday, Trump said that he believed the virus was under control. He also said he had confidence in the Chinese government to be transparent.
That’s where all my German comes from, and I’m sure my spelling was all wrong. lol.
Just kidding! I speak German with a heavy rural Austrian accent (it’s a long story), and everyone makes fun of it. There’s a puppet character in Germany called Kasperle, and he has a sidekick called Seppel who is your average country bumpkin. So my high-German-speaking friends call me Seppel.
Well, like I said, my German is derived from my Yiddish, which is written in Hebrew characters, so I don’t know an umlaud from two fly specs over a vowel, and consequently my spelling is farblunjet ingantzen. But an occasional tourist from Bavaria and I can palaver a bit, and I can make fun of Brandon as a student of Goebbels, which he is.
The lie has already circled the globe 3 or 4 times.
Brandon isn't a student of anybody - and it's not just a question of dementia. He has always been dumb as a stump. Er hat 'ne Meise . . .
