Trump uses the drone controversy to mock Chris Christie

President-elect Trump took over on Saturday from the mysterious drone controversy in New Jersey to mock ally-turned-nemesis Chris Christie.

The president-elect, who will take possession of the position in just over a month, he shared an artificially generated meme of the former New Jersey governor eating McDonald’s with more McDonald’s meals delivered by drones, mocking his weight on Truth Social and X.

Christie endorsed Trump in 2016, but was later ousted as head of his transition team.

Last year, Christie had a short-lived presidential campaign for the 2024 election in which he called Trump a “coward” and a “Putin’s puppet,” but dropped out in January.

“I want to promise this, I will make sure that in no way will I allow Donald Trump to become president of the United States again. And that is more important than my own personal ambition,” he said as he left. outside

Christie’s weight has been frequent Trump’s target since his fall. Last year, Trump jokingly told a supporter not to call the former governor a “fat pig.”

Since mid-November, New Jersey residents have been baffled by unexplained sightings of what appear to be drones.

Sightings have also been reported in other areas of the country, including military installations, prompting lawmakers to demand answers.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and law enforcement officials have said the drones do not appear to be a threat to public safety.

On Friday, Trump called for the drones to be shot down if there was no reasonable explanation for them.

“Mysterious drone sightings across the country. This can really happen without our government’s knowledge,” he wrote on Truth Social. “I don’t think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!!”
