Chris Christie just tore into Donald Trump over a report that the former president has been using campaign contributions to pay his personal legal fees, AND I AM HERE FOR IT. I am sort of ashamed, because it is Chris Christie, after all, and we know he is no angel. He is thin-skinned and abusive toward critics, and I don't doubt for one second that he will support Trump (and his policies) if he gets the nomination. But I just love watching another Republican bite into the Orange Cheeto! Via HuffPost:
Trump is “the cheapest SOB I’ve ever met in my life,” Christie, who is challenging Trump for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, told Politico. “What Donald Trump is good at is spending other people’s money.”
The New York Times reported on Sunday that Trump has quietly increased the amount of money diverted from his campaign donations to the political action committee he is using to pay for legal fees.
[...] Christie said Trump ― a billionaire ― should be able to pay his own legal fees, and demanded that he stop sticking donors with the bills.
“He should take a pledge today to instruct his campaign to no longer spend any public money on his legal fees,” Christie told Politico. “He is the richest candidate in this race, yet he is using public money to pay his legal fees. He should be ashamed of himself.”
YES HE SHOULD. But there is truly only one thing Trump loves as much as himself, and that is Other People's Money.
