Trump suggests shooting down aircraft above New Jersey as concerns continue

I'm putting this in general discussion because TSF saying he wants to shoot something or nuke something is hardly news.

Turns out it was just a commuter flight. Everything in the air is now a "drone".

MAGAs are sure they must be something sinister,. But hey can't be too safe from well, whatever they are and well whatever malfunction triggers in Trump's brain calls for the most insane action possible. Shoot first and don't bother asking questions later.

a drone you could lose all the data controlling it and that would make it harder to figure out what is going on and/or who is up to something. Better to let authorities to spoof it and take over the control of it and land it in a way it and it's algorithms are not lost.
