During a fundraiser to help New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) retire his campaign debt on Thursday night, Donald Trump told the governor that he was banned from eating Oreos.

While discussing trade, Trump referenced Oreos, which Trump swore off in August when Oreo’s parent company added production plants in Mexico and downsized operations in Chicago.

“I’m not eating Oreos anymore, you know that — but neither is Chris,” Trump said at the event in New Jersey on Thursday. “You’re not eating Oreos anymore. No more Oreos. For either of us, Chris. Don’t feel bad.”

Earlier in the event, Trump claimed that Christie “paid off his entire campaign debt” that night before joking about attendees not having a place to sit.

“And Chris, you can’t even give him a table and a seat? That’s terrible,” Trump said, according to the Associated Press.

  1. SNL’s Lorne Michaels really should send Donald J. Trump a Thank-You card. He works extra hard as a non-contract writer.

    Chris, is this really worth it?

    First, he has you on stage with that sh*t eating grin of yours, and now, no more Oreos.

    You still have time to bail!

  3. Dumb fat jokes pretty much reflect his level of sophistication about everything.

  4. With friends like Mr. The Donald, who needs enemies and strangers to fat-shame you?

    Let’s not forget that SNL has bent over backwards to give the Teabaggers a free soapbox to help their images by making them seem folksy and funny just like “real Americans”. The SNL 40th Anniversary Special had Palin, Trump, and Giuliani appear prominently in the show. So who cares about bigotry, hate and racism when they are just plain funny to Lorne Michaels! /s

    And how many Democrats appeared on that show? I believe the answer is close to “0”. Not even Senator Clinton from NY. But Trump? Front and center!
