On Friday, Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder patronized the American people, saying instead of relying on Pentagon intelligence, they should just “look in the sky” if they want to know updates about the Chinese spy balloon.
“Does the public not have the right to know?”, a reporter asked.
“The public certainly has the ability to look up in the sky and see where the balloon is,” Ryder said.

On Friday morning, President Trump reacted to the Chinese spy balloon that is hovering over Montana. His message was simple, and it’s something that Biden doesn’t have the guts to do:
“SHOOT DOWN THE BALLOON!,” Trump simply said.
Trump also retweeted the following post on TruthSocial:
Jack Posobiec also said that the balloon should have been blown “sky high” the moment it entered US airspace:

Sadly, JoeBiden doesn’t have the guts to do what needs to be done in order to show China that we mean business.
