that Donald Trump
would only mock a protester
or a reporter
or someone from
a minority group
be they either of the aforementioned
or merely existing
it should be known
that at a rally on Monday
with the latest former
GOP-candidate-turned-reluctant-endorser
Chris Christie
by his side
Trump used him
to make a point
about "absentee" governors
saying that “even more than Chris Christie"
Ohio Governor John Kasich
"was there”
as someone
campaigning in New Hampshire
and thereby
not governing his own state
then non-apologized to his mortified ally
by saying
“I hated to do that
but I had to make my point.”
Luckily for Trump
his "primary consultant"
told him
it was okay.
