Failed and multiply-indicted former president Donald Trump continues to luanch social media attacks on former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is running against the ex-president for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, suggesting that Christie should drop out of the race.
On his failing Truth Social site, Trump wrote:
“Sloppy Chris Christie, who was rated the Worst Governor in the History of New Jersey, had the lowest approval rating, 8%, had 11 straight downgrades of New Jersey Bonds, a record, was thrown out of New Hampshire after his last debate, and endlessly suffered from the horrible and never ending Bridgegate scandal, SHOULD DROP OUT OF THE RACE. HE IS GOING NOWHERE AND IS VERY BAD FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!”
But why in the world is Trump attacking Christie, who is polling in the single digits?
According to Christie, the answer is simple: Because he’s telling the brutal truth about Donnie.
During an appearance on CNN evening, Christie told host Kaitlan Collins, “He only wishes I was going away. I was laying out the truth about him.”
Christie added:
“He knows I’m not just some politician talking about his problems. I’m someone who’s done it, and done it well.
“I know how deep his problems are, and how much they’re damaging both the Republican Party and the country,” Christie said. “I’m not getting out this race. Maybe he should think about getting out of the race since he’ll be spending most of March and half of April in a courtroom in Washington, DC.”
The fact that Christie is running is also likely a reason Trump is refusing to participate in the GOP presidential debates. Trump knows Christie can eviscerate him during a face-to-face and make him look like a complete fool.
Here’s hoping Chris Christie remains in the race and continues to lob verbal artillery at Donnie. If nothing else, it should make for some great quotes and one-liners.
