Chris Christie Book: Trump Surrounded By ‘Amateurs, Grifters, Weaklings, Convicted and Unconvicted Felons’

Axios has a report on excerpts from Christie’s upcoming autobiography “Let Me Finish,” in which, Christie says Trump is dealing with a “revolving door of deeply flawed individuals — amateurs, grifters, weaklings, convicted and unconvicted felons.” Christie describes these people by saying they were “hustled into jobs they were never suited for,” even as the president “trusts people he shouldn’t, including some of the people who are closest to him.”

“I did everything I could to make sure my friend Donald reached the White House fully prepared to serve. But a handful of selfish individuals sidetracked our very best efforts. They set loose toxic forces that have made Trump’s presidency far less effective than it would otherwise have been. If this tragedy is ever going to be reversed, it is vital that everyone know exactly how it occurred.”

The new portions support previous indications that Christie’s book will accuse Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, of leading an effort to undermine him. The book includes a quote from Steve Bannon that gives clout to the idea that Kushner wanted revenge on Christie for prosecuting a case against his father back when Christie used to serve as a federal attorney.

Once Steve Bannon started unburdening himself … in his Trump Tower office, he couldn’t seem to stop. “The kid’s been taking an ax to your head with the boss ever since I got here,” he blurted out. “It’s been constant. He never stops. Ancient bitterness, I guess.”

1. Trump stuck with a 'team of morons' in his White House because they're otherwise unemployable:

4. Hopefully when this is all over, he will have been surrounded by indicted criminals.

Kushner and disguise Ivanka need to be wearing orange and orange assmouth already is in the orange mode, just needs to spread to his wardrobe as well.

8. Oh, Chris. Did you ever stop to think *why* Trump is surrounded by

amateurs, grifters, weaklings, convicted and unconvicted felons? Ya think maybe it's because of that birds-of-a-feather thing? And maybe Trump was "hustled into a job he was never suited for" by BFF Putin? Haven't you figured out yet that the best thing that ever happened to you was not getting a job with that administration? You really want to be remembered as just another guy who got punked and thrown under the bus?
