President-elect Trump recently took to social media to mock former New Jersey governor Chris Christie in light of the mysterious drone sightings in the state. The president-elect shared a meme depicting Christie eating McDonald's with drones delivering more meals, poking fun at his weight.

Christie, who endorsed Trump in 2016 but later fell out of favor, had a brief presidential campaign in 2024 where he criticized Trump as a 'coward' and a 'puppet of Putin.' Despite his personal ambitions, Christie vowed not to support Trump's presidential aspirations again.

Trump's jabs at Christie's weight have been ongoing since their rift, with the former president making derogatory remarks in public settings. The recent drone sightings in New Jersey have added a new dimension to the situation, with residents and lawmakers seeking answers.
