'Grifters, weaklings and felons': Chris Christie burns down Trump's entire inner circle

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie doesn’t just have his knives out for Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner — he also has unkind words for President Donald Trump’s entire inner circle.

Axios has published a new excerpt from Christie’s book, called “Let Me Finish,” that’s due to be released later this month. In it, Christie slams Trump for surrounding himself with multiple criminals and other hangers-on who know how to flatter the president’s ego.

Specifically, Christie claims that the Trump White House is staffed by a “revolving door of deeply flawed individuals — amateurs, grifters, weaklings, convicted and unconvicted felons — who were hustled into jobs they were never suited for, sometimes seemingly without so much as a background check via Google or Wikipedia.”

He still doesn't seem to have figured out that the real problem is that Trump himself is an amateur, a grifter, a weakling and an unconvicted felon who was hustled into a job he was never suited for. And of course Trump surrounds himself with those sorts of people, whom he eventually humiliates and fires when they no longer seem useful to him. Christie really needs to be pooped on by the Bluebird of Reality.

Did anyone ever go to jail behind that traffic tieup; or did Christie pardon everyone?

If he really spills the beans he might make a few bucks, otherwise look for it in a bin at the dollar store.

Chris Christie will ever have in politics--taking aim and undermining the Trumpster and his odious inner circle.

Vengeance is sweet.
