Trump thrives on 'chaos and turmoil' when it's on his terms, Chris Christie, a former federal prosecutor, says. But an indictment 'never helps anybody.'

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said on Sunday that an indictment won't help Donald Trump, countering the former president's claims that it'll only make him more popular.

While discussing Trump's possible indictment for hush-money payments to adult actress Stormy Daniels, Christie said on ABC's "This Week" that Trump thrives on conflict but only when he's behind the narrative reins.

"The circus continues. I mean, look, he only profits and does well in chaos and turmoil. And so he wants to create the chaos and turmoil on his terms," Christie said. "He doesn't want anybody else's terms … He wants it on his terms."

However, Christie, who is also a former district attorney, added: "But look at the end, being indicted never helps anybody. It's not a help."

~snip~

"I don't think that the American people will probably see this as a huge crime," Christie said. "But the vision of a former president of the United States being processed, fingerprinted, mug shotted ... What else do you expect Trump to say ... than to say that it helps his campaign?"

Wanting chaos, though ... Ugh.

Isn't that what the WEFtards are doing on a global scale? How does one fight the 4th reich plutocrats unless they adopt their tactics, as Trump has done? The Happy Warrior and all that.

Definitely. If they can make us feel we’re living our lives in a blender every single day they assume we’ll turn to them for relief. I won’t.

If they're trying to instill fear, be brave. If they're trying to make you hate, love. If they're telling you what to think, think otherwise. It messes up Schwab's flimsy house of cards.

This is only supported by the Rob Reiner level of Leftist brain derangement.

Christie is wrong and so are you. We all know that most will realize that is nothing but a “targeted prosecution” as Dershowitz and Turley (both democrats) have even said.
