Chris Christie, Bill Barr call Donald Trump a child: ‘Like a defiant 9-year-old kid’
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Attorney General Bill Barr both compared former President Donald Trump to a child on Sunday as Trump continues his bid for the White House.
Christie, one of Trump’s rivals in the 2024 Republican primary, zeroed in on Trump’s criticism of his former administration officials, accusing the former president of being a “petulant child.”
“I stood on the stage in 2016 and heard Donald Trump say he would only hire the very very best people, and he would know how to manage them,” Christie said on CNN’s “State of the Union” before listing out Trump’s treatment of former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and other officials.

“Either way, Republicans should listen to what he says. He’s a petulant child when someone disagrees with him,” Christie added.
It’s not the first time Christie has used the insult. He called former President Barack Obama a “petulant child” in 2016 over his use of executive orders.
