When it comes to campaigning, there’s no denying that Donald Trump approaches it like no other. It was the lack of filter, so uncharacteristic for nearly every other politician in the country that endeared him to a base that was in search of a disrupter. Someone to go in there and leave these standard politicians unable to find an answer for him in more ways than one. He’s crude, obnoxious, simplistic, and — much to the chagrin of his targets — they find him relatable.

Well, the latest target is none other than former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. On stage in response to a question, Trump said:

“Christie is eating right now, he can’t be bothered. Sir, do not call him a fat pig…”

Just…everything about it. Even if you don’t see the video of him saying it, you can still almost hear it can’t you? You can hear that infamous cadence and the tone of voice, and even that trademark dramatic pause after he finished with the “do not call him a fat pig”…

Trump is proud of that 3rd grade bully in the body of a 77 year old persona, and he’s clearly never afraid to embrace it.
