“50,000 is absurd,” Christie instructed Bream. “However I’m not going to get in an argument about that. Right here’s why he doesn’t care concerning the American individuals. He droned on for an hour and a half yesterday in Iowa.”
“He lied concerning the farm cope with the Chinese language,” Christie continued. “They haven’t even complied with 1 / 4 of what they agreed to Donald Trump to do when it comes to shopping for soybeans and different issues from the farmers in Iowa. And he spent the remainder of the time speaking about his personal indictment. This isn’t anyone who’s combating for the American individuals and their future. That is all about his ego.”
Christie, who’s difficult Trump within the 2024 election, has been a pointy critic of the previous president regardless of the actual fact they was once allies. Christie has repeatedly stated that Republicans will lose the White Home in the event that they nominate Trump once more within the major. He stated Sunday that Trump’s marketing campaign is for “himself and himself solely, and never in it for the American individuals.”
“What he cares about essentially the most is making an attempt to undo the loss he needed to Joe Biden in 2020,” Christie stated. “However since he’s a 3 time loser, having misplaced in 2018 the Home of Representatives, misplaced the White Home and the Senate in 2020, and in 2022 he winds up shedding two extra governorships, one other seat within the Senate and we barely received the Home by 5 votes.”
