New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he has a good relationship with President Trump, even though sometimes Trump “yells” at him.
“He gets mad at me at times, he yells at me at times, but he respects me,” Christie said in an interview with GQ.
Christie said that he would yell back at Trump, but does it “less now that he’s president.”
Christie and Trump competed for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016. When Christie dropped out of the race, he endorsed the future president, stunning the political world at the time.
Christie was often rumored to be in consideration for several administration positions, including the possibility of being named Trump’s running mate. After none materialized, he was tapped to lead Trump’s transition team, before being dropped from that as well. He is currently leading a commission formed by Trump to combat the opioid crisis.
