If you watched Donald Trump’s victory speech from his Maralago mansion last night, then you probably noticed who introduced him: New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. After he read a speech that had quite obviously been written by the Trump team, Christie stood behind Trump onstage and looked exceptionally forlorn. He looked like a man who had been beaten down and was now being used as a prop.
Social media noticed the way Christie looked, too, and Twitter lit up with scorn for Christie. Take a look:

Trump says "we're gonna have a wall" with Christie standing beside him.
A few weeks ago, Christie said a wall was a stupid idea.

If you mute this Trump speech, it looks like they're holding a bachelor auction but no one will bid on Chris Christie.

Don’t worry, Governor Christie: If Trump wins, maybe he’ll even let you clean the bathrooms at the White House…with a toothbrush!
