President-elect Trump ridiculed former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie by sharing a meme suggesting his Republican critic’s appetite is behind the sudden spike in drone sightings across the East Coast.
Trump posted on Truth Social what appeared to be an AI-generated image of Christie, with five drones hovering behind him, holding red McDonalds bags as the former Garden State honcho prepares to wolf down more than a half-dozen hamburgers.
“We now know the source of the drones over New Jersey,” wrote a social media user purporting to be the image’s creator.
In less than a month, there have been roughly 1000 drone sightings in New Jersey alone, according to state officials, although there have been reports from across the nation about the sudden appearance of mysterious flying objects in the airspace.
The feds, however, have said the drones sightings are actually just misidentified aircraft like helicopters or Cessna planes, and pose no danger to people on the ground.
Christie, a former Trump ally turned critic, in recent years has blamed the incoming president for everything from the spike in antisemitism and Islamophobia to “creating” Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.
The internet is still a shock for some people.
ReplyDeletePeople see drones and want to know what they are and where they came from
The goverment responds that the drones aren't actually drones but aircraft and helicopters, nothing to see here.
So people pull out their phones and play videos showing that the government is lying because clearly these are drones.
My only disappointment is that no American with a gun has yet shot one of these down,
Brilliant! This image guarantees that Christie will never win another election if he so much runs for dog catcher! And Trump knows it!
