Donald Trump’s controversial social media post is not going over well. Robert Mueller’s death had the President in a jubilant mood. He said that he was “glad he’s dead,” on his Truth Social. The former FBI Director died at the age of 81.
You can add Chris Christie’s name to the list of politicians outraged by Donald’s post. The former Governor of New Jersey called the President a “self-serving mirror hog.”
Robert was a decorated war veteran who served in Vietnam.
Chris Christie says President Trump is “self-consumed”
Chris’s previous support for Donald appears to be dead and buried. After dropping out of the Republican nomination race ahead of the 2016 election, Chris lent his support to the real estate mogul. It’s a move he looks back on with regret.
The former Governor is far from Donald’s biggest cheerleader nowadays, denouncing his online tirade against Robert. Speaking on This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Chris said that he believes the President is “self-consumed,” claiming all that matters to Donald is his personal interests.
Donald’s bad blood with Robert dates back to his first term as President a decade ago. The sixth Director of the FBI previously investigated alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 Presidential Election. He was looking into any possible involvement that Donald’s campaign may have had with Russia at that time. Donald defeated Hillary Clinton to become the President.
The President previously went on a rant following the death of famed Hollywood director/actor Rob Reiner. He called him “delusional,” among other things.
Chris did not forget Robert’s years of service. The ex-Governor called Donald’s words online “reprehensible.” Chris adds that Robert chose to to to Vietnam, volunteering for the assignment. He later received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star during his time in the military.
Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush paid tribute to Robert for his years of service following his death.
