Christie mocks Trump’s absence: ‘Donald Duck’
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie Calls Out Trump’s Absence at Debate
“You’re not here tonight,” Christie boldly declared, directly addressing Donald Trump. “because you’re afraid of being on the stage and defending your record. You’re ducking these things. And let me tell you what’s going to happen. You keep doing that, no one up here is gonna call you Donald Trump anymore. We’re gonna call you Donald Duck.”

The former president, who currently leads in most polls, has justified his decision to skip the Republican primary debates by citing his front-runner status.
Among the candidates on the debate stage, Christie finds himself ranked third to last in the polls.
What is Christie’s opinion on Trump’s absence from the debate, and why does he believe Trump is avoiding it?
However, Christie made it clear that he believes Trump’s absence is not due to his front-runner status, but rather his fear of defending his record. He called out Trump for avoiding the tough questions and avoiding accountability for the rising crime rates in the country.
The increasing crime rates have become a major concern for Americans, and it is an issue that needs to be addressed by all candidates. Christie argued that Trump, as a front-runner, should be held accountable for his plans and strategies to tackle this issue. By not showing up to the debate, Trump is avoiding the discussion and avoiding the responsibility that comes with being a presidential candidate.
Christie’s bold statement calling Trump “Donald Duck” sends a strong message about his opinion on Trump’s absence. It suggests that Trump is not taking the debates and the issues seriously, and is instead avoiding them like a cartoon character. By using this analogy, Christie highlights the lack of substance in Trump’s campaign and his unwillingness to engage in serious debate.
The question now is whether the other GOP debaters can pressure Trump to show up. With Trump leading in the polls, he may not feel the need to engage in these debates. However, as Christie pointed out, being a front-runner comes with the responsibility of defending one’s record and plans for the country. If Trump wants to be taken seriously as a candidate, he should be willing to face the tough questions and participate in the debates.
In conclusion, Chris Christie’s bold call-out of Donald Trump’s absence at the Republican debate highlights the importance of accountability and engagement in the electoral process. By not showing up, Trump is avoiding the tough questions and shirking his responsibility as a front-runner. It remains to be seen whether the other GOP debaters can pressure Trump to participate, but Christie’s statement serves as a reminder that all candidates should be held accountable for their records and plans for the country.
