Christie said Trump asked him in 2004 about whether a New Jersey politician sentenced to 27 months in prison would go to “real prison.”
Christie responded: “He’s going go to the Bureau of Prisons.
I have nothing left to do, and if they decide where he goes, he can go anywhere in the country.”
“[Trump] reached over and grabbed my arm. We’re sitting next to each other. He said, ‘Oh, my God, Chris. I could never do that. I can never go to jail. They tell you when to go to bed at night and when to wake up in the morning and what to wear and what to do, who you can talk to and what you can eat. I could never do that.’”
“And he had this really ashen look on his face. And I said to him, ‘Well, don’t get yourself in trouble and you don’t have to worry about it.’”
“As I watch him [in court], all I can think about is that conversation because he’s trying to act like this doesn’t bother him. Let me tell you, he is sick to his stomach every day.”
“There’s two things that Donald Trump fears more than anything: going to jail or being broke.”
