The indignities of Chris Christie will never end, or perhaps he likes to play into that reputation. The anecdote at hand will certainly distract from a judge’s Thursday finding of probable cause to charge Christie in the lamest scandal ever (Bridgegate), and — as if by magic — Christie has revealed a distracting story. He says that during a recent trip to visit Donald Trump at the White House, the president forced him to eat meatloaf for lunch.
This sounds like a strangely believable tale. Ever since Christie wore a hostage face to support Trump on Super Tuesday, the winning guy has had the upper hand. Soon enough, we heard about Christie serving as Trump’s McDonalds-fetching manservant, and now Trump is telling him exactly what to eat. Christie uttered the confession on a New York sports-talk radio show, via the Boston Globe:
“This is what it’s like to be with Trump,” Christie said. “He says, ‘There’s the menu, you guys order whatever you want.’ And then he says, ‘Chris, you and I are going to have the meatloaf.'”
Trump said “I’m telling you, the meatloaf is fabulous,” according to Christie.
Well, Christie didn’t say that the meatloaf isn’t fabulous, so he’s not exactly complaining, but of course, what Trump says goes with Christie. He even endured Oreos jokes when Trump decided to humiliate him that way, but that’s probably better than the world learning about his “savage” M&M habits. Still, it really does seem like he sets himself up for the weirdest jokes.

So, he was his bitch, is what I’m getting.
“No no Chris, you’re food is over there. Yes, in that dog bowl. Yeah that’s right, you eat like that now. You eat like a good little doggie.”
haha. That, or I’m picturing the scene from SE7EN where the glutton was tied up to a chair at the table. /Baldwin Trump voice… “Eat it til you explode dough boy”.
Nobody has more respect for meatloaf than Donald Trump, ok? Nobody.
Sad.
I find it hard to believe Chris Christie was forced to eat anything.
i bet trump doesn’t realize he is just as GD fat as christie. I say this because of the inevitable fat joke he is going to tweet in response.
The headline makes it sound like Trump had a gun on him or something. You guys are starting to sound like Fox news with Obama.Yea Trump sucks but seriously you guys are reaching here.
I would be very concerned if I woke up one morning and Uproxx considered a political piece with a fair open mind
Early contender for “Article of the Year 2017”
For a second, I was going to say “yeah, it would be, only if Ricci had written it” …
/scrolled up to check headline/
FUCKING HELL. lol

Chris Christie is basically meatloaf in a suit so I imagine there was no real issue here.
Cannibalism is a real issue and I appreciate you not making light of an epidemic.
It’s like Trump read, or had read to him, 1970’s power moves. It explains the ordering for other people and the absurd handshakes.
