President-elect Trump on Saturday seized on the mysterious drone controversy<\/a> in New Jersey to mock one-time ally turned nemesis Chris Christie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The president-elect, who will take office<\/a> in just over a month, shared an AI-generated meme of the former New Jersey governor eating McDonald\u2019s with more McDonald\u2019s meals being delivered by drones, mocking his weight on Truth Social and X.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Christie endorsed Trump in 2016 but was later axed as the head of his transition team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year, Christie had a short-lived presidential campaign for the 2024 election during which he called Trump a “coward” and a “puppet of Putin,”\u00a0but he dropped out in January.<\/p>\n

“I want to promise you this, I\u2019m going to make sure that in no way do I enable Donald Trump to ever be president of the United States again. And that\u2019s more important than my own personal ambition,” he said when he dropped out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Christie\u2019s weight has been a frequent target for Trump<\/a> since their falling-out. Last year, Trump jokingly told a supporter to not call the former governor a “fat pig.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since mid-November, New Jersey residents have been baffled by unexplained sightings of what appear to be drones.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sightings have also been reported in other areas of the country, including military installations, prompting lawmakers to demand answers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and law enforcement have said the drones don\u2019t appear to be a threat to public safety.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Friday, Trump called for the drones to be shot down if there\u2019s no reasonable explanation for them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country. Can this really be happening without our government\u2019s knowledge,” he wrote on Truth Social. “I don\u2019t think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!!”<\/p>\n
