You \u2063know, \u2064look, I live in\u2062 his\u200c head. He knows that what I said last night \u200dwas\u200c true. That\u2019s why he spent most of his\u2064 time last night after the debate reacting to the stuff I said and attacking me. What he should be \u2064doing\u200b is \u2062getting out on the debate stage and \u200ddefending his record,&#8221; \u200dChristie said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s obsession with Christie was evident through three posts made during and after the debate. One post featured an image of Christie alongside\u200c then-President Barack \u200cObama in 2012 after Superstorm Sandy wreaked havoc \u200don New Jersey.\u2064 Another post showcased an altered video of Christie at a campaign event, humorously depicting\u200c him at a buffet.\u2062 The former president also took \u200dto Truth \u200cSocial to criticize Christie&#8217;s gubernatorial track record.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Chris Christie is\u2064 talking about the job he\u200d did as \u2063Governor. He had a 9% approval rating. N.J. wanted to throw the &#8216;bum&#8217; out. Also, I built almost 500 miles of Wall (not 50,\u2062 Sloppy Chris!), got Mexico to give us 28,000 soldiers (free of charge!), and had the safest \u2063and best Border in U.S. History, with\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chris-christie-dismisses-trump-post-debate-attacks-i-live-in-his-head\/\" title=\"Chris Christie shrugs off Trump's post-debate attacks, saying \"I'm always on his mind.\"\">record low drugs coming<\/a> in!&#8221; Trump wrote in a\u2062 post.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While Christie addressed Trump&#8217;s posts, he\u200c also expressed his satisfaction with\u200b other candidates who took\u2064 aim at Trump during the debate.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;And I was even encouraged last night to see those six\u200c people who all raised their \u200chands and \u2064said they defended, they support a convicted felon, even a couple\u2062 of them started to criticize Donald Trump as well. So we are moving the \u200cdebate in that\u200b direction and he should \u2064be\u2063 criticized,&#8221; Christie said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s absence from the second Republican presidential debate\u2063 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, raised eyebrows as \u2064he opted to deliver a speech in Michigan instead.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his absence, Trump maintains \u2062a significant lead over other Republican candidates according to the RealClearPolitics polling \u200daverage. However, a\u2064 recent CBS News poll revealed that in New Hampshire and Iowa, only 23% and 20% of GOP voters, respectively, are solely considering Trump.<\/p>\n<h3>Read more from The Washington Examiner:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u2062 How does Trump&#8217;s focus on Christie during the Republican presidential debate reflect his preoccupation with him?<\/h2>\n<p><span> <\/p>\n<p>Christie&#8217;s claim of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wh-press-room-contains-figurine-of-what-appears-to-be-trumps-head-beaten-up\/\" title=\"WH Press Room Displays Figurine of Trump's Head Battered\">living \u200brent-free<\/a> \u2064in Trump&#8217;s\u2064 head is a telling reflection of their\u2063 tumultuous relationship. It is undeniable that Trump has dedicated\u2064 a \u2064significant amount \u2064of time and energy to criticizing Christie, even when it may not be warranted or necessary.<\/p>\n<p>The recent Republican presidential \u200bdebate, which Trump opted \u200dnot \u2062to attend, seems to \u200dhave incited his attacks \u200don\u200c Christie.\u200b Rather \u200bthan engaging directly\u200b in the\u200b debate and defending his own record, Trump chose to focus his attention on Christie and the points he made \u2062during \u2064the event. This \u200cbehavior indicates a sense of preoccupation with Christie and a desire\u200d to\u200b counter the valid criticisms \u200draised \u200dagainst him.<\/p>\n<p>Christie&#8217;s statement also exposes the power \u200ddynamics between\u200c the two individuals. \u2064By \u200cclaiming to reside\u2062 in Trump&#8217;s mind, he asserts a level of control \u200cand influence over \u2064the former president. It suggests that Trump&#8217;s reactions and actions are dictated by Christie&#8217;s words and the criticisms he delivers. This assertion places Christie in a position of authority, implying \u2063that he has the ability to manipulate Trump&#8217;s thoughts and actions.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the mention\u2063 of Trump&#8217;s use of derogatory \u2062nicknames \u200bhighlights\u2062 the petty nature of his attacks. Rather than\u2063 engaging in substantive \u200cdiscussions and addressing\u200b the substantial issues at hand, Trump\u200b resorts to belittling his \u200bopponents with \u2062juvenile name-calling. Christie&#8217;s dismissal of these tactics is an indication of his refusal \u2064to stoop to such\u2063 levels, emphasizing the need for a \u200bmore mature\u2062 and\u2062 professional approach to political discourse.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Chris Christie&#8217;s bold claim of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/unhinged-nancy-pelosi-mentions-trumps-name-then-says-did-i-say-his-name\/\" title=\"Unhinged Nancy Pelosi Mentions Trump\u2019s Name, Then Says, \u201cDid I Say His Name?\u201d\">living rent-free<\/a> in Donald Trump&#8217;s \u200bhead offers \u2062an\u200c intriguing insight into their complex \u200drelationship. \u200bIt\u200d showcases Trump&#8217;s preoccupation \u200dwith Christie and his eagerness to counter any criticisms directed \u2062towards him. Furthermore, it demonstrates Christie&#8217;s authority over Trump&#8217;s thoughts and actions,\u200b positioning him as a powerful force in the former president&#8217;s mind. As their interaction continues to unfold, it remains to be seen\u200c how this dynamic will evolve \u200cand whether it will have \u200bany \u200bsignificant\u2062 implications in the political landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former NJ Gov.
