President Trump believes that the government knows more than they’re letting on about the weird drone sightings seen hovering over states like New Jersey these past few weeks.
During a press conference earlier today, President Trump said he decided to cancel his weekend plans to go golfing at his Bedminster, NJ golf club due to the unidentified drones.
He also said that, “The government knows what is happening…And for some reason, they don’t want to comment. I think they’d be better off saying what it is. Our military knows, and our President knows.”
“For some reason, they want to keep people in suspense,” President Trump added, but he doesn’t think the drones are coming from an enemy nation.
“I can’t imagine it’s the enemy because if it were the enemy, they’d have blasted it out,” he said, “Even if they were late, they’d blast it. Something strange is going on.”

For those who prefer to read, here’s a transcript of President Trump’s remarks:
The government knows what is happening. Look, our military knows where they took off from. If it’s a garage, they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went. And for some reason, they don’t want to comment. I think they’d be better off saying what it is. Our military knows, and our President knows.
For some reason, they want to keep people in suspense. I can’t imagine it’s the enemy because if it were the enemy, they’d have blasted it out. Even if they were late, they’d blast it. Something strange is going on. For some reason, they don’t want to tell the people, and they should because the people are really…
I mean, they happen to be over Bedminster, one after another, too. They’re very close to Bedminster. I think maybe I won’t spend the weekend in Bedminster. I’ve decided to cancel my trip.
During the past few weeks, several mysterious drones have been spotted flying near President Trump’s Bedminster golf course in New Jersey.
Here are some of the clips, for reference:

NBC News reported:
President-elect Donald Trump said Monday that he had canceled an upcoming trip to his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club due to the recent drone sightings in the area.
At his first press conference since winning the presidency, Trump criticized the Biden administration for not sharing more information on the drones, which were first spotted in New Jersey in November and have since become a national topic for concern and conspiracy theories.
“Something strange is going on,” he said. “For some reason, they don’t want to tell the people.”
“They’re very close to Bedminster,” he added. “I think maybe I won’t spend the weekend in Bedminster. I’ve decided to cancel my trip.”
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Residents of New Jersey have reported seeing drones in the sky nearly every night since Nov. 18, a senior official briefed on the drones told NBC News last week. Residents in other states, including New York and Connecticut, have since then reported similar phenomena.
