If you thought that the election campaign needed a little
comic relief, here’s the Daily Mail report of what happened right after Chris
Christie bravely stepped forward and endorsed the Donald:
Chris
Christie was left in no doubt who was boss on Saturday, when The Donald shooed
him off stage and packed him onto his private jet after a campaign stop,
telling him to 'Go home'. Just one day after taking a political risk by
dramatically endorsing the billionaire for the Republican nomination, Christie
found himself getting a figurative pat on the head and instructions to clock
out in front of 12,000 in Millington, Tennessee. While the theme music from
Harrison Ford's movie 'Air Force One' blared out over loudspeakers, Trump was
heard on a hot mic telling self-styled tough-guy Christie to 'Get in the plane
and go home. It's over there. Go home.' Pointing to his luxury private plane,
Trump's quick dismissal had the air of a man who had got exactly what he wanted
from his new political ally.

Is Gov. Christie similarly offended or buying into implied "chump" status? Perhaps one of our vaunted journalists will ask him about this. Or, if asked, whether they will believe his response. Because it's much more juicy leaving the interpretation right where it is now, creating chatter and selling advertising.
Here's a 7 second version video, with Trump saying directly to Christie "Get in the plane and go home. It's over there. Go home."

From that video, its easy to imagine Trump was being dismissive.
But here's a 33 second version, starting with Christie saying to the audience "... so do I, and that's why I'm proud to introduce to you, the next president of the United States, Donald Trump."
And it ends with Trump saying to the audience after Christie leaves "Thank you Chris, Wow, Thank you. This is one endorsement really that I wanted. He's the right guy. Thank you very much Chris."

That makes Trump appear less dismissive, and you can imagine he's offering Christie a personal jet ride back home.
