Piers Morgan tried to sell Donald Trump as some sort of foreign policy mastermind – but former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (right) had none of it.
The former president boasted of his close friendships with dictators and autocrats, including North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Morgan said on “Fox News Tonight” that the United States never went to war under Trump and that no dictator “did stunts” during his presidency.
“Was there a bit of method to Trump’s madness in the way he treated these people to the extent that people thought he was mad, but in fact maybe Trump’s unpredictability kept things going. people like Putin and Kim Jong Un in their clubs?” said Morgana.
Christie — who is challenging Trump for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination — stepped in with a reality check.
“I don’t think by calling Kim Jong Un a great guy he stopped him from continuing to develop the missile technology that now allows those missiles to reach the United States,” Christie said. “It happened on Donald Trump’s watch.”
Putin, he said, continued to build up his military in anticipation of a strike on Ukraine.
“He doesn’t answer for that either,” Christie said. “And he’s not answering for withholding military aid from Ukraine to try to smear Joe Biden.”
