Sure, Trump could have stopped those BALLOONS when they flew over the US during his term, but...

[ck4829]

Sure that BALLOON a couple days was a NATIONAL CATASTROPHE that Fox News and the Republicans want to turn into an impeachable offense but when they flew over the US during Trump's term, he had far more important things to deal with.
