As soon as the going gets rough and Trump needs a scapegoat to blame for a bungle, that’s when the men will part company, Christie told ABC News’ Jonathan Karl Sunday on This Week. “When does this end?” Karl asked Christie of Trump and Musk’s joined-at-the hip relationship. “And no one knows how long that will take.” The “people who sit at the very center with Trump have a shelf life, and that shelf life is influenced by outside events, as Speaker Johnson is finding out right now,” Christie noted, referring to Trump cutting Mike Johnson off at the knees over the bipartisan stopgap budget bill he helped forge that went nowhere after it was attacked by the president-elect last week.
