The Republican governor of New Hampshire dismissed former President Trump as “f-king-mad” during a monologue at the elite Gridiron Club dinner in Washington, DC this weekend.
Gov. Chris Sununu first jokingly praised Trump’s “experience,” “passion,” and “sense of integrity,” Politico reported.
Then he said, “Nah, I’m just kidding!
“He’s f-king crazy!” Sununu told the political and media elites gathered for Saturday’s annual event, who traditionally appreciate politicians from both sides, as well as journalists.
Sununu said Trump “stresses me out so much” – while joking about how he planned to reject his comments later.
“The press will often ask me if I think Donald Trump is crazy,” Sununu, New Hampshire’s governor since 2017, said, according to Politico.
“I want to put it this way: I do not think he is so crazy that you could put him in a mental institution. But I think if he was in one, he would not come out. “
A crowd of about 600 journalists, poles and other Beltway insiders attended Saturday’s soiree, which featured sketches and songs performed by members of the media, as well as a performance by the United States Marine Band.
The Gridiron Club dinner was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19.
