Trump Administration Addresses New Jersey Drone Mystery
President Donald Trump's new White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, addressed the mystery surrounding the drones seen over New Jersey in recent months during her first briefing.
Leavitt, the youngest White House press secretary to date, stated that the drones were authorized by the FAA for research and other purposes, including recreational use by hobbyists. She emphasized that the drones were not a threat and attributed the increased sightings to curiosity.
This statement contradicts Trump's previous claims during his December press conference at Mar-a-Lago, where he questioned the Biden administration's silence on the drones and suggested they knew more than they were revealing.
Leavitt also used the briefing to highlight other actions taken by the Trump administration since its return to office, including securing nearly $1 trillion in US investments, deporting illegal immigrants, and restoring common sense to the federal government. She emphasized the administration's transparency, calling its media approach "revolutionary."
Leavitt focused heavily on the issue of immigration, stating that President Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border on his first day in office to address the "four-year-long invasion of illegal aliens" under the previous administration. She directly addressed foreign nationals considering entering the US illegally, stating that they would be detained and deported.

Leavitt's claim that the public's curiosity caused the increased drone sightings feels dismissive of genuine fear and concern.

Claiming drones are authorized for recreational use while people are reporting seeing them at night and in restricted areas doesn't make sense.

Leavitt is a breath of fresh air! Young, direct, and not afraid to tell it like it is.

Deporting illegal immigrants is the only way to regain control over our borders. It's time we enforce our laws!
Rotfront
Leavitt's direct and respectful approach towards foreign nationals is exactly how the issue of immigration should be addressed.

Deporting immigrants? Targeting foreign nationals? This administration's priorities are shameful.

Ignoring the drones for months and now suddenly declaring them harmless is not transparency, it's deception!

Leavitt is clearly in charge and knows how to run a press briefing. This White House is finally operating like a well-oiled machine!

It's good to know the drones are authorized and not a threat. The media is always quick to jump to the worst-case scenario.

Trump is a man of action, and Leavitt's briefing demonstrates his commitment to getting things done.

$1 trillion in investments? Where's the proof? This administration has a history of empty promises.
Matzomaster
Leavitt can call it 'revolutionary' all she wants, but this administration is using the media to push their own agenda, not informing the public.
Rotfront
This is blatant propaganda! Trump's claims change on the wind. What is the real truth behind these drones?
