Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has become the target of mockery by former President Donald Trump amidst a growing controversy surrounding unexplained drone sightings in New Jersey. Trump shared an AI-generated meme on social media platforms Truth Social and X, depicting Christie consuming McDonald's while more meals are delivered by drones, seemingly alluding to Christie's weight.

This incident follows a series of public clashes between the two former allies. Christie, who initially endorsed Trump in 2016, later became a vocal critic during his short-lived 2024 presidential campaign. He withdrew from the race in January, vowing to prevent Trump from regaining the presidency. Christie's weight has been a recurring theme in Trump's attacks since their falling-out.

The drone sightings, which began in mid-November, have puzzled New Jersey residents and sparked calls for investigation. Similar reports have emerged from other parts of the country, including military bases. While officials like Governor Phil Murphy and law enforcement have downplayed any immediate public safety threat, Trump has publicly advocated for shooting down the drones if they remain unexplained.

Trump's social media posts have questioned the government's awareness of these drone activities, demanding transparency and action. The ongoing drone mystery has even prompted New Jersey State Senator Jon Bramnick to call for a limited state of emergency to address the unanswered questions surrounding the sightings.
