Last week, former President Donald Trump appeared to knock Chris Christie's weight. Now, the former New Jersey governor is ribbing Trump back.
Christie, who once had a friendly rapport with Trump, mercilessly mocked him for his recent assertion that a president can declassify material"even by thinking about it" before throwing shade at Trump's management style during a convention Thursday.
Last Friday, Trump took to Truth Social to post a picture of Christie preparing a meal, in what has been widely perceived as a swipe at his weight.The former president's apparent picture-shaming of Christie came on the heels of an interview Christie did in which he argued the Justice Department had"no choice" but to raid Mar-a-Lago and chided Trump for the classified documents found at his Palm Beach estate.
Still, Trump and Christie, both known for their brash and unencumbered style of politics, maintained a relatively amicable though at times tenuous relationship during Trump's presidency. That began to change after the 2020 election when Christie became increasingly critical in public about Trump.
