Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has appeared in an interview with Stephen Colbert, downing shots of tequila as he boasted he'd have made a better president than Trump.
Christie appeared on Colbert's Late Show on Tuesday night, promoting his new book Let Me Finish, which details the backstabbing that led to his ejection from Trump's transition team.
After dropping out of the Republican presidential primary, Christie was the first major figure to endorse Trump's candidacy - but asked by Colbert if he'd have made a better president, the former governor replied simply: 'Yes.'
Colbert pressed Christie on his friendship with and support for Trump, saying, 'he'll throw anybody under the bus.'
'You think I don't know?' Christie replied to laughter from the audience. 'I got fired from the transition.'

According to Colbert, Christie 'wanted a cocktail' for the interview, and so produced a bottle of tequila and two shot glasses.
The comedian pointed out that it was Casamigos, the 'liberal' tequila brand owned by George Clooney.
'I'll tell you something, if it gets me loaded, I don't care. Liberal, conservative, who cares,' Christie replied.
Christie took three shots through the course of the interview while Colbert reluctantly downed one.
In the interview, Christie said he had personally discussed the recent government shutdown with Trump in the White House residence, and urged him not to proceed without a strategy to end the standoff.
'The president blew it,' Christie said of the shutdown.
'I said this to him, like, listen, if you're going to do this, you better have an exit plan because sometimes in politics, things don't go the way you expect. And so if it doesn't go well in the first couple of days, you gotta have a way to get it back open,' Christie said.

He continued: 'I just said to him, 'It's okay. It's a power you have and if you want to do it but you have to have a plan so you accomplish something by it and then reopen it.' And I don't think, given that it went 35 days, we had a plan.'
Trump on Friday caved on his demand for $5.7 billion in border wall funding and reopened the government for three weeks without gaining anything from Congressional Democrats.
Despite it all, Christie was adamant that he did not regret backing Trump in the 2016 election.
Pressed on the issue, Christie pulled out the bottle of tequila and poured a shot before offering a fairly straightforward explanation.
'I made a decision at the time that he was going to win the nomination after I dropped out, and that I preferred him to Hillary Clinton,' Christie said.
'And that's why I made the decision. It wasn't a whole lot more complicated than that. And I still agree with what his policies are, more than I agree with Hillary Clinton's.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
