In response to Donald Trump's statement about not wanting to participate in debates, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said that he was the toughest candidate to lead the country. He also plugged his own website for donations.
This isn't the first time that Chris Christie has criticized Donald Trump. During an interview with Bill Hemmer, the former governor got into a bit of a meltdown after the anchor noted that Trump was "crushing it" in the polls. Hemmer then asked if voters would want to see a Trump critic like him in the primary election. After trying to ignore Trump, Christie focused his attention on Joe Biden.
According to Christie, Trump's policies did not improve the situation at the border. He noted that the president did not keep his promise to build a border wall with Mexico. The former governor also criticized Trump for not passing any immigration legislation during his first two years in office.
Trump says he doesn’t “think it’s fair” for him to have to debate.
Crybabies and losers say life isn’t fair. And Trump is both.
