'Trump never finishes what he started': Chris Christie delivers rapid-fire take down of GOP’s 'big problem'
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Sunday delivered a rapid-fire takedown of Donald Trump, telling CNN’s Jake Tapper that the former president “never finishes what he started.”
Speaking with Tapper on Trump’s hot-and-cold relationship with the Republican Jewish Coalition, Christie noted that Trump “deserves credit for” several accomplishments in his first term. But, Christie warned, “what a second Trump presidency looks like will be much, much different.”
“I wouldn’t count on anything from Donald Trump, except one thing you can always count on: he will lie to get himself ahead and always put himself first before any interest and certainly before our country and Israel,” Christie said.

“Donald Trump never finishes what he started,” Christie later added. “He said he was going to build a wall across the entire border of the United States and Mexico, he built 52 miles of new wall in four years. He said he was going to balance the budget, he added $7.8 trillion in debt. In the same way he said he was going to bring peace to the Middle East, he did not do that, because he didn't finish the job.”
“Look, if he couldn't do it in the first term with good people around him, imagine what he would do in a second term with the clowns and rogues gallery he would have around him in his second Trump term, because that’s the only people that would actually work with him,” Christie said. “We need to keep focused on one thing: Donald Trump is not going to be able to beat Joe Biden from a courtroom in Washington D.C. while he's fighting his indictment on the January 6th case. And let me tell you, that indictment got much tougher for him to beat when his own chief of staff has now accepted immunity and will testify against him about the lies he has told in the aftermath of January 6th, and what he was told by his own people about the fact that he had lost the election.”
“This is going to be a big problem for our party and we need to cut it off at the pass,” Christie said. “Get rid of Donald Trump and move on to honest, strong leadership that will tell the truth.”
