LOS ANGELES.–Former New Jersey Gov. and GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie is back in the fake news, appearing on ABC News “This Week” with Jonathan Carl in a week where the fake news has been harping on 78-year-old President-elect Donald Trump, the only thing left for a disoriented Democrat Party. Fake news pushes the Democrat Party narrative, just like they did when they worked feverishly during 2024 to elect 60-year-old Vice President Kamala Harris. Independent voters got disgusted with the fake news for pushing Kamala down voters’ throats. Egregious media bias, largely from Democrats controlling the broadcast and print media, threatens the First Amendment and future of American journalism. Inviting Christie on ABC News “This Week” shows the desperation of the fake news to control the narrative before Trump’s Jan. 20, 2025 inauguration.
Fake news has been reeling since the Nov. 5 election, a punishing rebuke by voters to the mainstream press. Democrats and the fake news have pushed the narrative that billionaire Elon Musk is now calling the shots, referring to him as “President Musk.” Since endorsing Trump July 13, the date of the first assassination attempt, Musk and Trump have been inseparable. When it came to negotiating the latest stopgap budge deal, Trump and Musk pushed 51-year-old House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to get a better deal. But the fake news narrative is that Musk is now calling the shots. “It ends when Trump believes that something has gone wrong, and he needs someone to blame and Musk becomes the person to blame,” Christie said, continuing to stir the pot with the fake news. Christie has no excuse for why he continues, like former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.), to attack Trump.
Christie turned against Trump in 2017 when Trump passed him over for a Cabinet appointment after coordinating the transition. Fake news knows they can count on Christie, Cheney, former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-I.) to disparage Trump on the fake news. Christie wants to promote the idea that Trump will eventually turn on Musk, when he doesn’t have a clue about Musk’s relationship with Trump. Christie was never able to develop rapport with Trump because Trump knew Christie was opportunistic, only looking out for himself. “Sometimes it’s hard of folks to understand how intoxicating this can be for some people,” Christie said, thinking that Musk, the world’s richest man, is swept off his feet by Trump. Christie speaks for himself when he thinks that Musk is infatuated with Trump, when it was Christie who put Trump on a pedestal in 2017 before Trump cut him loose.
Christie is too self-consumed to recall that he was embroiled the Bridge-gate scandal at the time of the transition. What was Trump supposed to do, put Christie as Attorney General? Christie and other anti-Trump Republicans join hands with Democrats and the fake press to talk about Musk’s oversized role in Trump’s decision-making. Fake news has nothing to talk about other than Trump’s controversial cabinet picks but, now with clowns like Christie, his relationship with Musk. Christie would have dreamed of a relationship with Trump but it never happened exactly because of how self-obsessed Christie has nothing to offer Trump other than lip-service. “People who sit at the very center with Trump have a shelf life, and that shelf life is influenced by outside events, as Speaker Johnson is finding out right now,” Christie told Jonathan Carl.
How can any rational person believe the utter rubbish spewed by Christie no matter how partisan the audience? Calling Trump’s relationship with Musk inappropriate or listening to Christie’s fake narrative that Trump would blame Musk is preposterous. Musk has tremendous clout in the business community, something Trump wants to exploit for his presidency. Fake news likes to listen to Christie because he has nothing good to say about Trump. But when you judge Christie’s credibility, he has something in common with the fake news: He has no credibility. ABC News proved hosting the Sept. 10 presidential debate that it was out to get Trump, watching hosts David Muir and Linsey Davis fact check Trump when they did nothing to Kamala. Whether ABC News admits it or not, Muir lost viewership knowing how obvious his political bias came out.
News consumers are disgusted watching ABC News discredit itself more than ever, interviewing Never Trumper Chris Christie talking about Trump’s relationship with Elon Musk. Christie has nothing to say other that Trump will eventually fall out with Musk. Trump won’t let that happen because he knows Musk is a valuable asset, not just because of his enormous wealth but because he’s universally respected by voters. “The political & legacy media puppets all go their new infrastructure yesterday and are now parroting the same message to drive a wedge between@realDonaldTrump and me,” wrote Musk before the passed bill was brought forth. They will fail,” Musk said, exposing the public to another fake news narrative that he and Trump will have a falling out. When you consider the fake news humiliating defeat Nov. 5, all they can show now is sour grapes.
