We know nothing Donald Trump says should shock us, but he still seems to find a way to always lower the bar.
On Tuesday night, the former President took time out from fighting his multiple indictments, to speak at a rally in New Hampshire. At one stage, he appeared to mock former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie over his weight.
Trump suggested Christie wasn’t around because he was “eating”. The crowd laughs. Trump then points to someone in the audience and says, “Sir, do not call him a ‘fat pig’. That is very disrespectful.”
Trump goes on to repeat the mock chastisement, and asks people not to call Christie a “fat pig.”
Trump later rushed to Truth Social to share this hilarious new gag. His eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, of course, reshared it with laughter emojis.
Trump’s tactic of trying to invent derogatory nicknames for his rivals (“Crooked Hillary”, etc), is not new. However, picking on Christie because of his weight prompted a large amount of online comments.

Christie, as governor of New Jersey, formally endorsed Donald Trump for President in 2016. Since that time, their relationship (like so many in Trump’s orbit) has turned sour. Christie is now running for the Republican Presidential nomination. He has taken every opportunity to denounce Trump and attack his record.
Asked about Trump’s latest swipe at him, Christie called Trump and “child” and laid down a challenge for him.
“He’s a child …” Christie told Fox News Digital. “You’re such a big guy, you’re such a tough guy? You’re so full of it. You want me? I’ll be on the stage in Milwaukee two weeks from tonight. I’ll be there waiting for you. You be there, I’ll be there.”
Donald Trump has already hinted he does not plan on attending the first Republican Presidential debate. He says it’s because he has such a lead in the polls that he doesn’t need to debate the other candidates.
Christie said yesterday of Trump’s potential no-show, “It shows his complete lack of respect for Republican voters. He thinks, because he won the nomination twice, that it’s his. And he thinks that these numbers actually mean they approve of what he did, when, in essence, it’s just that he’s the best-known person in the race.
“So, if he doesn’t show up two weeks from tonight, what it will show once again is what he showed throughout his presidency was complete disrespect for the people,” Christie said.
“The only good thing for me will be, I will have more time to speak, because he won’t be droning out about his three indictments with a fourth to come.”

A LOL headline. Very funny. Thank you, Mr. Hudson. xo

I’m not bored – love Christie going after Dumb Donny. Funny thing is, Dumb Donny is probably in worse shape and fatter that Christie. Can’t wait to these these two wallow in the slop even more.

Yes, leave already, but not to France. They don’t want you.
Trump claims he’s doing us a favor by running again: “I could have been relaxing at Mar-a-Lago or the South of France, which I would prefer to being in this country, frankly.”

Exile perhaps? Used to be a thing for political enemies. I’d rather see Dumb Donny in jail, but I’d settle for exile to Russia. No south of France for the mob boss.

I think these two deserve to be in a cage fight! Much like Musk / Zuckerberg, these two need to battle it out!
CAGE FIGHT!
CAGE FIGHT!
CAGE FIGHT!

It’s really sad what Trump has done to the national conversation and debate. None of this funny. None of this even comes close to the dignity and decorum the office of the presidency should demand. So now instead of having meaningful policy debates on ACTUAL issues, the whole conversation has broken down to mud slinging in a school yard.

It stopped being funny for me years ago. Failure 45 is a dangerous, lying demagogue and sociopath attempting to dismantle democracy and replace it with totalitarianism. He needs to pay for his crimes and be removed from the public stage.
Mister P
You are right ZBomb and it is sad. Trump seems to be running on vengeance and acts like there are no other issues.

I can assure you, most Republicans and a huge swath of Democrats, as well as Republicans, would watch the first GQP nutso debate just to see loudmouths Christie and Don the Con square off.
And if they got into a real fistfight, which isn’t inconceivable given that one (the Con) is from Queens and the other (the joke of an ex-governor/lapdog) is from New Jersey, and it included crashing onto the stage, knocking over podiums, and a few good slugs either way (especially if Christie popped that hideous Orange Ogre in the mouth), it would be a ratings sensation!

What does Trump see when he looks in a mirror? It’s got to be some kind of body dysmorphia.

Hey Trump, you do know that you’re no where near a “slim Jim” don’t you?

How childish when the pot fat shames the kettle.
The Count of Monte Crisco has 42% of the Republican primary voters…Christie has 6%. I don´t think Christie can turn that around in a debate. I guess maybe if he hangs in there and you know if the guy gets found guilty and you know maybe if the base turns against him and you know maybe then the failed former New Jersey governor who left office with the lowest approval rating in history, will become the darling of the 2024 Republican electorate (please no breath holding).
Can you see the two of them running as a ticket? There´d be no end to the ¨fat jokes¨¨.

Chump doesn’t piss (colostomy bags)
Christy tries to piss (but he can’t see or find his)
Game off.
