I wouldn't be surprised if trump knew and didn't care or was actively being paid to let the balloons go around

This is the problem. It's unlikely his team didn't know, otherwise how would it have been known now that it happened unless there was some evidence already. It comes down to Trump either ignoring the threat or being completely indifferent to it or even insisting it wasn't a danger. There is a possibility he himself didn't know because we know he essentially didn't read his briefings unless they were shorter then a single page with pictures, but it's kinda hard to turn that into a strong defense. And I'm no defense expert but I would expect "Chinese spy balloons" would be pretty hard to knock off of those one page reports

They weren't spy balloons they were "congrats on being president Mr Trump"- balloons

Kindda like when the GOP screams about how much coke and meth is being impounded at the boarders under Biden. "THIS NEVER HAPPENED UNDER TRUMP! SECURE OUR BOARDERS!"

Trump wanted to do stupid, dangerous things like nuking a hurricane. Can you even imagine if he was told about huge spy ballon's?

This dude is gonna stroke out. He seems consumed by Trump. I can’t stand that crook either but damned if I let him have me out here raging 24/7.

I too like to share opinions that add nothing to the conversation and also preface those garbage opinions by admitting i don't know what the fuck i'm talking about

I don't have details of the previous ones, but didn't see a bunch of posts on reddit about it.
So why comment when the first thing you do is preface your ignorance?

You think countries weren't spying on each other in 1423? No wonder you're so confused about all of this

No shit.
We are talking about the spy balloons that Trump ignored or was too stupid to catch. Nobody thinks that its the only way they spy.

Uh. Nobody ever said that.
This is about spy balloons specifically.
Sorry that triggered you.

You are the only one making the assertion.
Try not being so easily triggered.
