President-elect Donald Trump weighed in on the drone sightings Friday — arguing they ought to be shot down — after several days of reporting sightings in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and, as of Thursday night, parts of Maryland.
When writing about them on TruthSocial, however, he seemed to have trouble on his first pass — deleting the first post and reposting a revised version — leading some to ask if something was wrong.
"Was he having a medical event while typing this?" asked independent journalist Aaron Rupar on Blue Sky.
Influencer Harry Sisson told his 131,000 followers on Blue Sky, "Trump just put out this statement on the drone sightings and it’s riddled with spelling errors and mistakes. Is he… ok?"
Among Trump's suggestions was to shoot down the drones, which is a federal offense and could land folks in jail, according to USA Today.
"'Shot' down actual airplanes because MAGA doesn't know the difference between them and 'mystery drones?'" commented X Spaces host Art Candee. "Donald Trump is the dumbest man ever elected into the Oval Office."
Trump's allies agreed with him. Fox News contributor Joe Concha, for example, posted on X, "Trump is right: Shoot. These. Things. Down."
"President Trump sounds off on the drone sightings off the coast of New Jersey and New York saying he doesn’t believe the government doesn’t know who or what is behind them. “Otherwise, shoot them down now!!!” Agreed," wrote Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on X.
