Chris Christie Dares Donald Trump to Name Him a “Fats Pig” to His Face

Say what you’ll about Donald Trump, however the man has at all times been a deeply respectful particular person who has by no means as soon as resorted to private assaults on anybody, not even on folks he views as his opponents or threats.

Simply kidding! There may be clearly nobody on earth who’s extra petty and vindictive than Donald Trump, a person for whom nobody is off-limits. He assaults youngsters, he assaults diplomats, he assaults prosecutors, and he assaults actors. He attacks airlines, he assaults immigrants, and he attacks people trying to commemorate 9/11. He even assaults prisoners of warfare, for fuck’s sake! Actually, except Ivanka, there may be principally no individual, place, factor, or inanimate object he received’t assault.

Naturally, that signifies that when he’s not threatening to intimidate authorities witnesses, Trump goes after his GOP major rivals within the crudest phrases potential. Which on Tuesday, meant calling former New Jersey governor and 2024 hopeful Chris Christie a “fats pig.”

That’s very disrespectful. I’m attempting to be good. Don’t name him a fats pig. You possibly can’t try this.” Later, he wrote on Reality Social, “I used to be extraordinarily respectful of Sloppy Chris Christie as we speak in New Hampshire. Throughout a speech in entrance of a giant crowd of Patriots, anyone shouted out that ‘Chris Christie is a fats pig.’ Relatively than acknowledging that, which many audio system would have executed, I stated, ‘No, No, he isn’t a fats pig.’ I’m positive Chris would have been very pleased with my protection of him!”

Christie responded to the remarks by suggesting Trump didn’t have the balls to say such issues to his face on the first GOP debate—or present up on the debate, interval. (The ex-president has not confirmed if he’ll seem on the stage this month, saying on Tuesday, “Perhaps we’ll do one thing else” and that “it doesn’t make sense to do it in case you’re main by a lot.”) On Tuesday, a Christie-aligned tremendous PAC took out a full-page advert saying Trump is “afraid to debate.”
