Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene have once again teamed up, though probably by accident, for some eyebrow-raising commentary. This time, their target isn’t their usual suspects like windmills, voting machines, or “woke” corporations, but mysterious drones — the kind that have been spotted flying over New Jersey.
Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to comment on the strange aerial sightings, suggesting that the solution was simple: transparency — or, if that fails, just shoot them down. Yes, you read that right — his idea was to start shooting at drones in the sky, even though people are walking around on the ground below. Oddly, that wasn’t even the most troubling part of his post. The real issue is how poorly written it was. Trump’s signature style — all caps and zero spellcheck — was on full display. In fact, it was so bad that even some of his own supporters wished he’d take a minute to use a spellchecker.
Enter Marjorie Taylor Greene, who always manages to crank things up a notch. True to form, she demanded action, calling for the drones to be shot down. The problem, of course, is that she didn’t provide any realistic plan for how this should happen. Are we supposed to be handing out slingshots at Walmart? And what happens when a drone inevitably crashes into someone? These are the details Greene doesn’t bother to address, but then again, logic and nuance are not her strong suits.
On the bright side, Greene inadvertently gave us some comic relief. Trump’s team must have gotten a hold of his post and told him it sounded bad — maybe even pointed out how illiterate it looked. So, Trump edited his post to clean up the grammar and spelling mistakes. But, in true Greene fashion, she took a screenshot of his original post, proudly pointing out that Trump had misspelled “don’t” as “don” and “shoot” as “shot.” If there’s one thing that can truly defeat MAGA, it’s MAGA itself.
Now, let’s rewind a bit. Yes, there have been reports of mysterious drones flying over New Jersey, including near a military research facility. Understandably, that raised some concern. But state and federal officials have made it clear that there’s no immediate danger to public safety. The FBI is investigating, and they’re asking the public to report sightings but not jump to conclusions. Seems simple enough, right? Well, not if you’re Trump and Greene.
For Trump, this is just another chance to push his favorite conspiracy theory: that the government knows something it isn’t telling us. It’s classic Trump drama — part conspiracy, part melodrama, with just enough chaos to get his base excited. Meanwhile, drone operators across the country are probably watching this unfold and wondering how they ended up at the center of this MAGA soap opera. The mystery in the skies continues, and Trump and Greene remain exactly what we’ve come to expect.
