Best Frenemies: Chris Christie and Donald Trump


In addition to blaming him for getting him fired from the Trump transition team, he claims Kushner and Ivanka Trump kept him from being Trump's running mate and charged Kushner with being a political lightweight.

While critical, Christie says all is not lost for Trump.

To this, Christie reasoned his "change of heart" occurred because he knew Trump was "going to win" the election.

Toward the end of the eight-minute segment, Christie admitted to Colbert that Trump had indeed "turned the Republican party into something different" than what he felt it was when he started to run for president.

Chris Christie told Newsmax TV he feared retired Gen. Michael Flynn would get President Donald Trump in trouble if he was hired as national security adviser, a role in which he served for just 24 days before being fired and wrapped up in the Russian Federation investigation.

Christie, who was reportedly considered for several positions in Trump's Cabinet, did not mince words when discussing the people who have been giving Trump strategic and legal advice.

'I mean it's one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted when I was United States attorney, ' he told PBS Tuesday night, adding that he was the federal attorney in New Jersey 'so we had some loathsome and disgusting crime going on there'.

But let me say this: There is simply no one more influential in the White House on the president than Jared Kushner.
