Former United States President Donald Trump seems to mention the weight of political opponent Chris Christie every time he mentions him, and it sounds like Christie doesn’t appreciate it – and he doesn’t think Trump should throw stones if he lives in a glass house.
During a recent interview with Fox News, Chris Christie revealed that he and his family are not happy at Donald Trump for always bringing up Christie’s weight.
“They hate it. My children hate it. We’ve been friends with Donald Trump for over 20 years. My children have socialized with him.”
“It just shows you, he’s lost it,” Christie continued. “He’s so angry and so bitter, and self-consumed.”

Trump continually referencing Christie’s weight is especially puzzling, because as Christie points out, it’s not like Trump is particularly athletic himself.
“At the end of the day for him – and I have said this in return – who’s he, Hercules?” Christie said on Fox News. “I mean, we’ve seen the pictures on the golf course. I’m not going to call him the same things, but we’re not talking about an Adonis over here in Donald Trump.”
But Christie doesn’t want to call Trump any names as a result of his weight. He wants to take the high road.
“I wouldn’t say that stuff about him – even though I’ve seen the same pictures you’ve seen,” Christie said. “What I do is I let people draw their own conclusions on that.”
