Speaking to the New York Times, Christie, who was head of his state during the “BridgeGate” scandal, told the outlet that Trump is one of the “most unskilled politicians I’ve ever met.”
“I don’t think he’s ever gone up against somebody who knows how to do what he does. He’s never run against somebody from New Jersey who understands what the New York thing is and what he’s all about,” Christie said.
“For people like me, who’ve grown up here and lived my whole life in this atmosphere, he’s just one of a lot of people I know who have that personality. He knows I know what his game is,” Christie warned.
Christie’s tough guy persona, however, has not appeared to resonate with voters thus far.

Forty-six percent of Republican primary voters have an unfavorable view of the former governor. Further, he garners just two percent support, compared to Trump’s 57 percent in the crowded field.

“I think that he’ll show up at the debates because his ego won’t permit him not to,” Christie said of Trump’s participation in the Republican primary debates.
“He can’t have a big TV show that he’s not on,” the former governor said. “He’s on Truth Social going bonkers, and no one’s paying attention? He won’t deal well with that.”
