Donald Trump Forced Chris Christie To Get The Meatloaf At A Dinner Event
So this story just broke. At a dinner event, Trump let everyone order whatever they’d like, except Chris Christie. He made Christie get the meatloaf. Obviously want to be as neutral as possible so I sourced the story from several different outlets from both sides of the political spectrum.
Huff Post — On the “Boomer and Carton” sports radio show, Christie said he had been invited to Washington with his wife for the event.
“This is what it’s like to be with Trump: He says, ‘There’s the menu, you guys order whatever you want,’” Christie said, according to audio posted online. “And then he says, ‘Chris, you and I are going to have the meatloaf.’’’
“He tells you what you’re eating?” cohost Craig Carton asked.
“Yeah, and I said we’re going to have the meatloaf?” Christie replied. “And he said, ‘I’m telling you, the meatloaf is fabulous.’”
Carton: “Did you have the meatloaf?”
Christie: “I did.”
Carton: “It’s emasculating.”
Christie: “No it’s not.”
Carton: “Another man tells you what you eat and you eat it? Not acceptable. I don’t care who he is.”
