Trump has his own (tasteless) theory about NJ drones (which he finds funny)

For every drone that has been seen in the skies over New Jersey – and in the minds of paranoid residents – there are just as many theories, from mocking drone enthusiasts and mocking federal agencies and law enforcement to private companies that test and collect data TO motherships launching an invasion on behalf of some of the United States’ most hated adversaries.

With each passing day, the assumption gets crazier federal authorities shake their heads and roll their eyes: Is it a drone? No, it’s a plane. Is it a drone? No, it’s a star. Is it a drone? No, it’s a Christmas light atop the town’s really tall holiday tree.

And now, president-elect Donald Trumpnobody to miss an opportunity for shame — let alone a chance scoffs former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — posted his own theory on social media Saturday. It’s the typical Trump laugh track: ridiculous and derisive.

Trump retweeted an AI-generated image of Christie eating a McDonald’s meal — we count about seven hamburgers on the tray and a few more in his hands — while several drones deliver more food from Mickey’s Circle D above him.

A caption on the meme read “Now we know the source of the New Jersey drones.”

It’s not the first time that Trump, known for his McDonald’s binges and fraudulently reporting his own weight — mocked Christie’s eating habits and weight. You’ll recall that Trump even worked at a fryer and a drive-through at a McDonald’s during the campaign in an attempt to refute Democratic candidate Kamala Harris’ story about working at a McDonald’s as a teenager.

Christie, of course, has been a meme before — thanks to NJ Advance Media photographer Andrew Mills, who caught him sunbathing on a closed beach in New Jersey in 2017.

Christie, who was one of the first Republicans to endorse Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign, MAGA filed for divorce after the January 6 insurrection. And the one former friends fought each other since then.

Christie, determined to fight the Trump GOP — or at least peel off the non-sycophantic branch — ran a long-running bid for the party’s presidential nomination with the primary goal of attacking Trump, the guy he once hoped to make attorney general. Christie ended his cash-strapped campaign in January, two weeks before the New Hampshire primary.

It turned out that former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley cornered the market on Trump-weary Republican voters, but neither she (nor Harris) could pick up enough of them.
