Though it remains to be seen if he can possibly gain any traction in the 2024 Republican race for the presidential nomination, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is certainly making the strongest case against failed former president Donald Trump, holding nothing back when asked about the ex-president and his current legal predicament.
During an interview with Robert Costa of CBS News, Christie was asked for “the truth on Trump,” and his response was nothing short of pure gold and guaranteed to trigger Donnie in a major way.
“He’s a completely self-centered, self-possessed, self-consumed, angry old man.”
“And he doesn’t care about anyone else other than him” Christie added. And if he were ever to become president again, I’ll take him at his word. He said, ‘I am your retribution.’ Well, he’s not our retribution, Bob. He will be his own retribution.”
Christie also said that his “breaking point” was when Trump claimed without a shred of evidence that the 2020 election had been stolen by Democrats.
“That moment was the breaking point for me, and to me, there’s no turning back.”
Didn’t you used to support Trump? Costa asked. Aren’t you being a flip-flopper?
Christie replied, “I’m no different today than I was when I supported him in 2016. He’s the one who kept classified documents against the law. That lied to his lawyers and lied to the government.”
A completely self-centered, self-possessed, self-consumed, angry old man. That’s one of the most accurate descriptions of Donald Trump ever offered by anyone.
