Trump is about to become even more 'disoriented' as political reality sets in: ex-pal

During an appearance on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) suggested that recent events demonstrate Donald Trump is losing his power as the courts and Republican lawmakers balk at his demands and he is beginning to face a new political reality.Not long after political analyst John. Heilemann observed on MS NOW that Trump is becoming a “lame duck” as some of his key allies edge away from him, Christie, speaking from his experience as a termed-out governor, pointed out that it can make someone used to power lose their bearings.After earlier pointing out that Trump supporters who are not caught up in MAGA world are “abandoning ship,” Christie told the hosts, “Here's something that is about to happen to him: that he will be completely disoriented by being a lame duck. He of course, he didn't have to deal with it in 2020, he was running for a second term. He's never had to deal with the idea that the political gravity of the country will move away from him. And as time moves on now here, people are going to start to focus on 2028. People are going to start to focus on who the candidates are going to be in both parties to try to replace Donald Trump and be the 48th president of the United States.”“And he is going to be less significant,” he remarked. “And these pronouncements about ‘I'm going to pull out of NATO’ or ‘I'm going to build a, you know, a $400 million ballroom onto the White House’ that he makes by executive fiat, including having to sit and watch the Supreme Court debate and discuss the legality and constitutionality of his executive order on birthright citizenship.”“These things are going to happen more and more frequently when he's a lame duck, and people are not going to care as nearly as much about what Donald Trump says,” he predicted. “Imagine his world when that happens.”"I've been a lame duck,” he admitted. “I served as a two-term governor, term-limited. And those last two years are tough because you're struggling. You're the governor, you're continuing to do things that are really important, but if you don't have a cooperative relationship with your legislative body, you don't have show respect for the process, people are going to ignore you more and more. And even when you do, they begin to ignore you because you are becoming yesterday's news.” - YouTube youtu.be
