Christie gave Trump a boost by endorsing his 2016 candidacy, while Trump passed Christie over for the roles of VP and attorney general. Now, they have entered a new chapter: open hostility. The long history of the Christie-Trump relationship:

Their last exchange was in August 2021, according to a person briefed on the matter, when the former president had an aide send Christie a testy message. That May 2002 introduction over dinner came through an intermediary, Maryanne Trump Barry, Trump’s older sister, who was a federal judge in the state at the time and described Trump to Christie as “my little brother.” In Christie’s 2019 memoir, “Let Me Finish,” he wrote about his first impressions of Trump, who in two years would begin his run as the star of the reality TV show “The Apprentice.”“Donald was opinionated,” Christie wrote. “He was bombastic. He was entertaining.
Their relationship began to be tested. Two months after Trump’s entrance into the race, Christie told Fox News that the New York businessman didn’t have the “temperament” or experience to be president. Trump taunted Christie for being absent from New Jersey, where he was still governor. “I am proud to be here to endorse Donald Trump for president of the United States,” Christie said at an endorsement event in Florida in February 2016, as astonished reporters watched him praise Trump’s candidacy. After Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, Christie was one of the first prominent Republicans to endorse Trump at a time when the party’s leadership was still trying to stop his ascent.
Christie led Trump’s preparations for the general-election debates against Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee. But after the October 2016 release of a recording in which Trump described grabbing women by their genitals, Trump privately griped that Christie had not more vocally backed him. Christie took himself out of consideration to succeed John F. Kelly as Trump’s chief of staff at the end of 2018 after Trump had offered the job to Christie. By then, it had become clear that Trump was cycling through staff members and firing them at a rapid clip.
