Lawrenceville, New Jersey (CNN)When Donald Trump stepped on stage
Thursday night, the event had all the makings of a normal Trump rally,
but the podium read "New Jersey" instead of "Trump."
That's because the presumptive Republican nominee was raising money here
for his former rival-turned-supporter Chris Christie.
"So you know Chris paid off his entire campaign debt tonight," Trump
said.
The billionaire businessman also had a little fun with the New Jersey
governor. As usual, Trump was lamenting Nabisco's decision to move jobs
to Mexico, and he declared that he's not eating Oreos anymore.
He then pointed to Christie and asked, "You're not eating Oreos anymore,
are you?"
"No more Oreos for either of us, Chris. Don't feel bad," Trump said, as
the crowd awkwardly laughed.
Since endorsing Trump this spring, Christie has taken on a significant
role in the campaign. He has appeared with the candidate at election
night events and was recently announced as the chairman of Trump's
transition team.
Thursday night's event, with a ticket price of $200, was held to retire
Christie's remaining campaign debt from his White House bid. At the end
of March, the New Jersey governor had about $250,000 in debt, according
to financial reports. Trump also appeared at a smaller, private
fundraiser for the New Jersey Republican Party that had a higher ticket
price of $25,000.
Trump got in on some of the New Jersey pride, which could be felt from
the raucous audience. Though small, it was just as rowdy as any normal
Trump rally.
"There's nothing like New Jersey. Wiseguys, so many wiseguys," Trump
said, commenting on what some of the men in the crowd were shouting
about Trump's opponents. "Tell you what, if you can make it in New
Jersey, you can do just about anything you want in life."
He also threw in some tough-guy humor.
"We are not going to be the stupid country anymore. We are viewed as the
stupid country," he said. "We're like a big, big sloppy bully that gets
punched in the face and goes down. You ever see a bully get knocked out?
It's a terrible thing unless you're doing the punching -- then it's OK."
Trump spoke just hours after Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton
told CNN he was not "qualified" to run for president. Referencing the
attack, Trump pointed to some of the scandals that have dogged her
campaign and argued that it's an "absolute disgrace" that she's allowed
to run for president.
He also weighed in on the plane crash in the Mediterranean Sea, calling
it a "terrible tragedy" and definitively saying it was an act of terror.
He railed against Clinton for not using the term "radical Islamic
terrorism."
"She doesn't want to use that term, she refuses to use that term," he
said. "I'm saying to myself, what just happened about 12 hours ago? A
plane got blown out of the sky, and if anybody thinks it wasn't blown
out of the sky, you're 100% wrong, folks."
For his part, Christie defended his decision to back Trump, which he
said "shocked" the world back in March. Christie was the first sitting
governor and one of the first so-called establishment Republicans to
endorse the candidate.
"I know that New Jersey, on June 7, on primary day, with our votes and
our delegates, are going to be the people who put him officially over
the top as the Republican nominee," Christie said as he introduced
Trump, with most of the New Jersey governor's family on stage behind
him.
