Donald Trump has done something no previous President did after leaving office. Instead of helping to heal this country, he has used his podium and voice to lash out at his successor daily. Trump wants this country to fail because Biden defeated him over 824 days ago, and the former President just can't let it go.

The alleged Chinese spy balloon was successfully shot down on Saturday right as it went over the east coast and entered airspace over the Atlantic Ocean. The line of thinking was to safely bring it down without hurting people on the ground, and that was successful.

We also learned that similar Chinese balloons flew in our airspace at least three times during the Trump administration and once that they knew about earlier in the Biden administration.

Predictably, Trump denied the reports.

"The Chinese Balloon situation is a disgrace, just like the Afghanistan horror show, and everything else surrounding the grossly incompetent Biden Administration," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "They are only good at cheating in elections, and disinformation — and now they are putting out that a Balloon was put up by China during the Trump Administration, in order to take the "heat" off the slow moving Biden fools. China had too much respect for "TRUMP" for this to have happened, and it NEVER did. JUST FAKE DISINFORMATION!"

As for the "slow-moving Biden fools," I'll stick with an even-tempered, thoughtful commander-in-chief over an immoral, failed one-term president whose bitter apathy toward his fellow Americans will go down in the history books. Future historians wonder what the fuck we were thinking.

The interesting thing is that Trump did nothing about the Chinese spy balloons while he was in office. Nothing.
