“Sloppy” Chris Christie, the failed former Governor of New Jersey, spent almost his entire last year in office campaigning in New Hampshire for the Republican Nomination for President. Much like his term in office, where he left with an Approval Rating of just 9%, his Presidential campaign was a complete disaster. He endorsed me the following day, later recommended Chris Wray for the FBI (how did that work out?), went down in flames, and then was SALVAGED by ABC FAKE NEWS. I never wanted him!

This post exemplifies narcissistic devaluation of a former ally. Trump systematically destroys Christie's worth across every dimension — governor, candidate, advisor — while retroactively denying the relationship's value ("I never wanted him!"). This contradicts documented history: Trump publicly celebrated Christie's 2016 endorsement and appointed Christie to lead his transition team. The post reveals the transactional architecture of Trump's relationships: allies are valued only for subordination and utility; independence or criticism triggers complete devaluation and historical revisionism. The projection regarding Chris Wray is notable — Trump deflects responsibility for his own appointment onto Christie's recommendation. The body-shaming nickname "Sloppy" adds sadistic dehumanization. This pattern — embrace, utilize, discard, deny — is consistent across Trump's treatment of Sessions, Barr, Mattis, and others, representing a stable personality feature rather than situational response.

Gaslighting Detected:

'I never wanted him!' contradicts documented history of accepting and benefiting from Christie's endorsement and advisory role
Retroactive rewriting of the relationship to deny prior dependence

Reality Distortions:

'I never wanted him' contradicts Trump's public embrace of Christie's endorsement in 2016
Endorsement timeline compressed to 'the following day' (actually ~2 weeks)

Fact Checks (3)

"Christie left office with approval rating of just 9%"

Mostly True

Some polls showed Christie's approval as low as 15%, with at least one showing single digits. The exact 9% figure may reference a specific poll but is in the correct range for his historically low exit numbers.

"Christie endorsed Trump the day after dropping out"

Mostly True

Christie dropped out February 10, 2016 and endorsed Trump on February 26, 2016 — not literally the following day but relatively soon after.

"Christie recommended Chris Wray for FBI"

True

Christie is widely reported to have recommended Wray, his former colleague, for the FBI director position.

Psychological Analysis: Anti-Christie Attack Post (2023-02-05)

Context & Timing

Posted at 1:00 PM EST (Trump likely at Mar-a-Lago in February). Business hours posting, but the stream-of-consciousness style, emotional reactivity, and run-on sentence structure strongly suggest authentic Trump authorship.

Trigger Analysis

This post appears triggered by Christie's increasing media visibility via ABC News, likely offering commentary critical of Trump. The mention of "SALVAGED by ABC FAKE NEWS" suggests Christie appeared on ABC recently, prompting this attack. The post follows a pattern seen in the earlier same-day post attacking media outlets — Trump is in a combative, media-hostile mode.

Narrative Structure

The post constructs a complete contamination narrative for Christie: governor → failed campaign → endorsed Trump (implying subordination) → recommended Wray (implying poor judgment) → "went down in flames" → rescued by fake news. The final line "I never wanted him!" is classic retroactive disavowal — rewriting history to deny any prior association value.

Defense Mechanisms

Devaluation: Systematic destruction of Christie's worth across every dimension (governor, candidate, advisor)
Projection: The parenthetical "(how did that work out?)" about Wray implicitly blames Christie for Trump's own appointment decision
Denial: "I never wanted him!" disavows a relationship Trump actively cultivated

Rhetorical Devices

The nickname "Sloppy" is a body-shaming dehumanization technique. The 9% approval rating is weaponized as total delegitimization. The structure follows Trump's standard attack template: nickname → credentials destruction → association with failure → exile from in-group.
