Chris Christie, former Republican presidential hopeful, He is convinced that the attack on former President Donald Trump that occurred over the weekend, when a high-caliber rifle bullet only pierced his right ear and not his brain, does not change his toxic essence.

“Two things can be true at the same time. I feel sorry for him that this happened to him. I wish it had never happened.

From the Republican perspective opponent of the former president of the nation, most of what happened at the event where the Republicans gathered It was designed to sell the idea that Donald Trump has strengthened his campaign in the final stretch of the election, and the polls, as well as some media outlets, were impressed.

He’s not going to change.
He is as unenthusiastic, as lacking in energy as I have ever seen him. Why? Because he hated what he was saying. I hated it. He doesn’t believe it, but he knew he had to say it.“, he concluded.
