Christie on ABC says Trump is like your 72-year-old relative

[kpete]

Christie on ABC says Trump is like your 72-year-old relative: “When people get older, they become more and more convinced of the fact that what they’re doing is the right thing and it becomes harder to convince them otherwise."

1. When the elderly get dementia, they tend to regress and become child-like ...

Regardless, Trump is a sick man

[tavernier]

2. Bullshit.

He’s always gotten his way. Age has nothing to do with it.

[Autumn]

3. Then put your sonofabitch relative in a home where the rest of us don't

have to deal with his bullshit. Take care of your problems, don't foist them off on us.

[Brainstormy]

4. I resent that.

and hope Christie remembers he said it when he's 72.

[Mme. Defarge]

18. Thank you.

[brush]

22. WTF? Christie is not that far behind trump. Hasn't his even fatter ass been screwing around in...

government for several decades now?

25. +1

5. sorry no lots of elderly people read and are intellectually curious.

I don't like this crap.
trump is who he is PURE EVIL. My 72 yo relatives had faults as do I. But, they weren't PURE EVIL.

6. Being 72 years old is not what causes Trump to make these horrible decisions.

Trump is convinced that he is a god and he gets to decide what is the right thing. If you are blaming his disastrous Presidency on his age, you are admitting that he is unfit for the job.

[NCjack]

19. Christie is a horrible person. On a personal level, meaner than Trump.

I'm so glad that Christie is sitting on the sidelines instead of installed in a gov't job, with authority of employees and private citizens.

[tblue37]

33. Yet he did just slam Trump's fitness for the job on national TV, so that part at least is a plus. nt

[delisen]

35. He did it by attacking other people. It is like Christie's attacks on teachers.

Both of these characters are just bullies.

[area51]

23. "... you are admitting that he is unfit for the job."

This is what they should have said to Christie.

26. +1

7. I'm 72

and I question everything, and I hope that I'm doing the right thing.

[Arkansas Granny]

20. I'm 72 myself. I have enough sense to know when I need to consult someone

with knowledge and experience before I make important decisions. Blaming Trump's attitude and actions on age is just a cop out.

[JenniferJuniper]

8. Ageist BS...

Trump has always been a stupid piece of shit.

[ProfessorGAC]

9. Being 72 & Stubborn Does Not Equal Stupid

Or being a punk!

[KentuckyWoman]

10. Christie can go fuck himself.

Age doesn't have crap to do with it. Trump was an ass from the cradle on.

[janterry]

11. Makes no difference, Christie - you have one job

and that's to denounce him. Otherwise, stuff it.

[Golden Raisin]

12. Ageist bullshit. Generalization bullshit. Christie bullshit.

Consider the source.

[NRaleighLiberal]

13. Bullshit. n/t

[oberliner]

14. I think the opposite is true

Young people with strong political opinions are extremely passionate about their beliefs and tend to feel quite certain that they are doing the right thing to the point that it is very hard to convince them otherwise.

[delisen]

36. Jill Stein got a lot of young voters who dismissed her Kremlin connection.

I agree with you.

[TreasonousBastard]

15. I am 72 and know I don't have the physical strength or mental acuity I had years ago, but...

Trump's problems have little to do with age.

Anyone who dealt with him or remembers him over the years knows him as a shifty failure who has managed to cleverly bullshit his way out of most of the trouble he's caused.

Those days are over now-- he can't walk away from his failures or mistakes any more.

[Raven123]

16. Sounds like he is claiming age as a reason to invoke Article 25

[allgood33]

17. Except Trump has been like this since birth.

[TexasBushwhacker]

24. Yeah, Christie acts like Trump used to listen to people

That he used to make informed decisions. He NEVER has. He's always been my way or the highway, and when things blow up, he blames someone else.

[UniteFightBack]

21. Those sound like the words of a rump future chief of staff.

[Grasswire2]

27. trying to humanize malevolence into dementia

That's beneath Christie.

Or so I would have thought.

[MyOwnPeace]

28. "That's beneath Christie."

It might be - but he can't see down there.

[Grasswire2]

34. well played nt

[MyOwnPeace]

37. Glad you liked it.........

I was gonna' include the beach photo but thought that took away the ability to create your own 'visual!'

[50 Shades Of Blue]

29. What a steaming load and insult to everyone 72 and over!

[Stinky The Clown]

30. Fuck you, Christie . . . . . from a very lucid geezer

[UTUSN]

31. What an ignorant stereotype! What's *CHRISTIE's* excuse for his piggishness?

[NewJeffCT]

32. Trump has been an ignorant lying bully his entire life

it has nothing to do with his age
