Governor Sununu Unleashes Sarcasm After Trump's 'Absolutely Comical' Memory Flub

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, known for his straight talk and dry wit, delivered a masterful comedic jab at former President Donald Trump this week, responding to what he described as an "absolutely comical" memory lapse from the former commander-in-chief. Trump, during a campaign rally, bizarrely confused Chris Sununu with his father, former Governor John H.

Sununu, claiming the younger Sununu had "begged" him for a job – a claim Chris Sununu vehemently and humorously denies.

The incident unfolded as Trump addressed a crowd, launching into an attack on various political figures. In a moment that quickly went viral, Trump asserted, "Chris Sununu, the current governor, you know, he begged me to give him a job.

Begged! I said, 'Chris, you're not qualified. I can't give you a job.'" The only problem? Governor Chris Sununu has repeatedly stated he never sought a position in the Trump administration, nor did he ever "beg" for anything from the former president. The gaffe highlighted a clear confusion between father and son, two distinct political figures with differing relationships to Trump.

Sununu, a prominent Republican figure, wasted no time in setting the record straight, albeit with a heavy dose of sarcasm.

Taking to social media, he quipped, "I love that he thinks I'm my dad and that I ever begged him for a job. It's truly comical." He further elaborated during interviews, stating, "I've never even applied for a job, never interviewed for a job, never asked for a job... The whole thing is just absurd." Sununu's unvarnished response not only corrected the record but also underscored the perceived flimsiness of Trump's recollection, turning a potential political slight into a moment of public mockery.

This isn't the first time Trump has been accused of memory lapses or mixing up political figures, and it adds another layer to the complex relationship between the two Republicans.

While both are part of the GOP, Sununu has been a vocal critic of Trump, particularly after the 2020 election and the January 6th Capitol riot. He has previously referred to Trump as "crazy" and has made it clear he believes the party needs to move beyond the former president.

The exchange quickly became fodder for political commentators, highlighting not just Trump's propensity for gaffes, but also Sununu's willingness to directly challenge and poke fun at the former president.

In a political landscape often dominated by carefully crafted statements, Sununu's blunt, sarcastic dismissal resonated with many, providing a moment of levity and a sharp reminder that not all Republicans fall in line with every word from the former president. The incident serves as a microcosm of the ongoing internal dynamics within the Republican party, where loyalty to Trump is often tested by those seeking to chart a different course.
