Chris Christie has a message for Donald Trump as the billionaire sees his standing in the crowded 2016 Republican presidential field grow: the president doesn't get to say "you're fired!"

Christie, whose campaign slogan is "Telling It Like It Is," entered the race hoping to emerge as the straight-talking Republican in the field. Trump has surged in polls as he attempts to claim that mantle, in part through comments such as his recent statements the Mexican government is sending criminals and "rapists" to the United States.
