Even Chris Christie doesn’t want the job of White House chief of staff. Hmmm…maybe Kim Davis? She has some experience as a county clerk and she’s between jobs.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) declined the White House chief of staff role on Friday, making him the latest high-profile candidate who’s no longer in the running for the influential post.
Christie and President Trump reportedly met Thursday evening to discuss the role of replacing current chief of staff John Kelly, who will be departing by the end of the year.
“It’s an honor to have the President consider me as he looks to choose a new White House chief-of-staff,” Christie wrote in a statement shared by Maggie Haberman of The New York Times on Friday. “However, I’ve told the President that now is not the right time for me or my family to undertake this serious assignment. As a result, I have asked not to be considered for this post.”
The story revealed that Trump’s very own transition team had raised several million dollars to pay the staff. The moment he saw it, Trump called Steve Bannon, the chief executive of his campaign, from his office on the 26th floor of Trump Tower, and told him to come immediately to his residence, many floors above. Bannon stepped off the elevator to find Christie seated on a sofa, being hollered at. Trump was apoplectic, yelling: “You’re stealing my money! You’re stealing my ■■■■■■■ money! What the ■■■■ is this?”
This is like someone from high school who got rejected, meeting that person later in life… but no, they did not suddenly become great looking or successfull (in fact, they got WORSE)… but they saw weakness and threw the rejection right back at them. LOL!
I can’t for the life of me picture Christie taking orders from anyone much less Trump, at least not day in and day out. He just isn’t cut out for that job. They’d be at each others throats in short order.
