And I\u2019m one of them,\u201d Christie said defiantly. \u201cAnd I\u2019ve been on all kinds of diets. I\u2019ve had surgery and I\u2019ve done much better than I did when I was governor. I lost a lot of weight when I was governor and I\u2019ve kept most of that weight off, but I still have a lot more to go. I just look at him and think what a child, how small he is to be doing things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Christie didn&#8217;t stop there. He took a direct jab at Trump&#8217;s physical appearance, stating, \u201cMaybe he should look in the mirror, cause this guy ain\u2019t Arnold Schwarzenegger. Okay. I\u2019ve seen some of those pictures of him golfing. He doesn\u2019t look like a Greek god to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Christie admitted that he isn&#8217;t too offended by Trump&#8217;s comments, he emphasized that Trump&#8217;s behavior is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chris-christie-responds-to-trump-mocking-his-weight\/\" title=\"Chris Christie reacts to Trump's weight mockery.\">alienating potential voters<\/a> and perpetuating self-consciousness among those struggling with their weight.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhat he is doing by doing that is making other Americans who are suffering from this, feel even more self-conscious than they do already,\u201d Christie explained. \u201cI think it\u2019s one of the last areas of physical discrimination that\u2019s acceptable, socially acceptable in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Christie concluded by posing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/barr-calls-trump-a-narcissist-who-shouldnt-use-nation-as-a-therapy-session\/\" title=\"Barr labels Trump a 'narcissist,' warns against using nation as 'therapy session.'\">thought-provoking question<\/a>, asking if Americans would want Trump making similar remarks about their loved ones or even themselves.
