'Doesn't think of anyone but himself': Chris Christie slams Trump

Taylor Taranto, a January 6 rioter who was arrested with weapons near former President Barack Obama's home address, had made his threats shortly after former President Donald Trump posted that location as part of an article that discussed his own initial days in office.

This whole incident reveals how Trump doesn't think through anything he does, beyond whatever he feels like doing in the moment, said former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) on CNN's "The Lead" Thursday.

'"Governor, what do you make of this?" asked anchor Jake Tapper. "Empirically, President Trump put out in the world Barack Obama's home address, and a Trump superfan with guns and a machete, took that address, according to prosecutors, and went to the Obamas' house, according to prosecutors, to wreak havoc."

"For Mr. Taranto, this seems to be a pattern, from January 6th and now this," said Christie, who got his start as a federal prosecutor and is now running against Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination. "And as for Donald Trump, this is his conduct with no regard for anyone other than himself. I don't know if he meant to put President Obama's address out there or not or whether he was so enamored with the newsletters extolling of his first 100 days, when he fired Mike Flynn in the first 17 days as National Security Adviser and had a Muslim ban that didn't go into effect, so I don't know what was in that. But my guess is, he loved it so much he wanted to put it up there."

However, Christie continued, "this is the problem with someone who doesn't think about this country and its citizens first. They do things like this, whether it's intentional or inadvertent, what it shows is a lack of responsibility, accountability for what you're saying. It's like calling the special counsel a crackhead. It's like putting out a former president's address. It is irresponsible conduct."

Christie then added:

"And what I say to everybody who says he's treated unfairly, the documents case he brought on himself by refusing to give them back after 18 months after he was asked to do it," added Christie.
