Christie made the remarks while discussing the new White House director, Mick Mulvaney, and the challenges he faces in serving Trump.
"I was encouraged to hear that he was not going to try to lead the president. "Christie told ABC News." I think one of the mistakes – a very well-intentioned mistake made by General Kelly, is that he tried to direct the president. I do not think you can do that. "
Kelly is currently Trump's chief of staff, but leaves at the end of the year – with Defense Secretary James Mattis.
" Manage everything that you can handle, "Christie told ABC News." And if Mick does that, I think he'll succeed. Otherwise, it will be difficult. "
