Chris Christie: Trump doesn't understand the world

Fresno CA

Description

Former Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey implicitly jabbed Donald Trump on Monday, criticizing unnamed people who had praised Russian President Vladimir Putin's strategy for invading Ukraine. "How can anyone with any understanding of the world call Putin's decision to invade Ukraine 'genius' and 'very savvy' as we watch him unite the rest of the world against Russia in nearly an instant?" Christie tweeted. Trump has repeatedly praised what he's described as Putin's shrewd thinking in sparking the largest-scale war involving a major European power since World War II. Christie didn't mention Trump directly in his message, but his word choice echoed words used by his former political ally. Trump told a conservative podcast host early last week that he admired Putin's brazen strategy.
