Chris Christie, the sitting governor of New Jersey, has been diminished to an errand boy for Donald Trump’s campaign, according to a New Yorker report published online on Monday.
“[Christie] has transformed himself into a sort of manservant, who is constantly with Trump at events,” Ryan Lizza wrote in the magazine’s June 20 issue. Lizza also said one anonymous Republican source told him a friend on Trump’s campaign “used Snapchat to send him a video of Christie fetching Trump’s McDonald’s order.”
The piece, which traces Republicans coming to terms with Trump as the presumptive nominee, is the latest humiliation for Christie since he became a prominent surrogate for the businessman’s campaign.
After appearing on camera with a panicked, deer-in-the-headlights look in his eyes for much of a Super Tuesday press conference with Trump in March, Christie was forced to hold a presser of his own to clarify, “No, I wasn’t being held hostage.”
During a campaign event last month in New Jersey, Trump commanded Christie, who was off camera, to stop eating Oreo cookies.

Seems apropos
Trump must be a very trusting soul if he lets Christie pick up his McDonald’s order. I’m guessing at least a few fries are mssing from the bag every time.
And that’s because Donald Trump is so wealthy he can afford to eat at only the best restaurants.
You say “man servant” but I’m pretty sure it’s “man whore.”
Personally, I don’t think Rump would care if the bag was empty.
Just the act of dominating Christie, having him get food for Rump which is clearly a sore point for Christie is satisfying enough.
