If you thought Donald Trump’s social media game was slowing down, think again. The man just dropped what might be the most ruthless meme of 2024, and Chris Christie’s ego is somewhere out there looking for a safe space to hide.
Let’s set the stage. The scene? New Jersey’s ongoing “mystery drone” controversy. For weeks now, folks in the Garden State have been staring up at the sky, spotting unidentified drones buzzing around like they’re on some covert mission to find the nearest Wawa. Naturally, state officials are baffled, and lawmakers are calling for a “limited state of emergency” — whatever that’s supposed to mean.
Enter President-elect Donald Trump, never one to miss a golden opportunity to put a rival in his place. And boy, did he deliver. On Truth Social and X (formerly Twitter, but does anyone even call it that?), Trump shared a meme that’s pure comedic gold. It features Chris Christie — yes, that Chris Christie — chowing down on McDonald’s while drones hover overhead, delivering even more McDonald’s meals to him.
If you’re not laughing yet, you’re probably Chris Christie.
The Meme Heard ‘Round the World
Here’s the thing — Trump’s never been shy about calling people out. If you’ve crossed him, you’re getting nicknamed, memed, or roasted on stage. But this? This was a next-level masterpiece of pettiness and precision.
Not only did Trump highlight the “drone crisis” in New Jersey, but he also took a direct jab at Christie’s weight, a favorite target of his since their infamous falling-out. Remember, Christie endorsed Trump back in 2016, only to be booted from Trump’s transition team like an unwanted Uber passenger.
Since then, it’s been open season on Christie. Trump’s had no problem taking shots at him, even famously telling a supporter last year, “Don’t call him a fat pig.” (Gee, thanks for that one, Don.) Christie’s response? Launching a short-lived 2024 presidential campaign where he called Trump a “coward” and a “puppet of Putin” — strong words from a guy who’s been as loyal to the GOP as a cat is to a leash.
But nothing — and we mean nothing — could have prepared him for the meme of the year.
Chris Christie’s Campaign Diet Plan: McDrones to the Rescue
The image itself is a work of art. AI-generated perfection. Christie’s got that unmistakable “just-one-more-cheeseburger” look on his face as a fleet of drones descends upon him with McDonald’s bags like it’s a high-stakes aerial food drop in a disaster zone. Somewhere in the background, you can almost hear “Ride of the Valkyries” playing.
The internet did what the internet does best — memes on memes on memes. Comments flooded in with folks joking about Christie’s “new delivery service” and his “exclusive sponsorship deal with Uber Eats Air.” One commenter suggested, “Christie’s 2024 campaign slogan: ‘Make Fries Fly Again.’” Another proposed a new title for the event: “Operation Big Mac Overlord.”
If this was Trump’s way of announcing his “No Mercy” tour for 2024, message received loud and clear.
The Drone Drama: Is It Real or Reality TV?
Let’s not forget, there’s an actual story beneath the memes. Since mid-November, people in New Jersey have been reporting these strange drones in the sky. No one’s sure where they’re from, who’s controlling them, or why they’re even there. If this sounds familiar, that’s because it’s basically every “X-Files” episode from the 90s.
The sightings have gotten so frequent that New Jersey lawmakers are demanding answers. State Senator Jon Bramnick went so far as to request a “limited state of emergency” over the whole thing. Now, “limited” and “emergency” don’t really go together — it’s like saying you’re “halfway on fire” — but here we are.
Governor Phil Murphy says the drones aren’t a threat, which is exactly what you’d expect the guy in charge to say. Meanwhile, Trump’s advice was far more direct: “If there’s no explanation, shoot them down!”
Call it overkill if you want, but it’s vintage Trump. Clear. Direct. And honestly, kind of hilarious. Imagine New Jersey townsfolk with shotguns chasing drones like it’s duck hunting season. Duck, duck, drone.
Final Thoughts
This is Trump at his finest. While the rest of the political world stumbles over “messaging” and “optics,” Trump’s out here dropping memes like precision airstrikes. Chris Christie, once Trump’s ally, now finds himself as the punchline to one of the most hilarious burns of the year.
For a guy who’s tried to present himself as “serious” and “above it all,” Christie’s looking pretty small right now (metaphorically, of course). And while New Jersey’s drones remain a mystery, Trump’s meme game is crystal clear: Take shots, don’t miss, and make ’em laugh while you’re at it.
Chris Christie’s still looking up at the sky wondering where it all went wrong. Maybe the drones will tell him.
