Fridays earthquake near New York City is shaking up social media in lots of ways including inspiring mock conspiracy theories.
Turns out the epicenter for the 4.8 magnitude earthquake was near Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, and only 6.5 miles from Donald Trumps Bedminster National Golf Club.
And after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) posted a tweet suggesting the quake was a message from above to repent, many people on X (formerly Twitter) decided to ponder the real reasons for the quake.
And real as in really snarky.
Oh, and yes, the fact that Ivana Trump, the former presidents ex-wife, is buried at Bedminster did come up. Thanks for asking.
Trump Bedminster was the epicenter of the Earthquake?

Who else thinks Ivana wants the missing classified documents to be found?

Is there a reason why the #earthquake hit Bedminster today ?
After all, Ivana Trump's neglected grave is located there...
. . . on Donald's golf course.

Earthquake near Bedminster, NJ. Ground shakes. It opens. Zombie Ivana Trump crawls out of her grave pushing the classified documents that filled her coffin aside. She's angry.

NYC: that wasn't an earthquake it was just Trump landing in Bedminster for the weekend. pic.twitter.com/qwPV2Vp5Xh

Ok, so we had an earthquake in NJ. Shook the house bit. Maybe Trump was in Bedminster selling bibles again and God was like enough already.

Epicenter: Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster
(Why am I not surprised)
Either:
1) Don must have done some epic crap in his diaper!
2) The gates of hell just opened!
