Gov. Chris Christie is scheduled to have a lunch meeting with President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, two sources with knowledge of the situation told NJ Advance Media.

The meeting comes as speculation intensifies that Trump has grown unhappy with several members of his inner circle and their performance in the first month of the administration.

Christie, a fellow Republican who has been a longtime friend and confidant to Trump, is expected to discuss a broad range of topics with the president, according to the sources, who requested anonymity to talk candidly about the meeting.

MEANWHILE...

Kushner angry over talk of Christie's future with Trump, report says

TRENTON -- Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of and close adviser to President Donald Trump, is angered by reports that Gov. Chris Christie may be hoping to secure a job in the future helping Trump's administration, according to a report by Politico citing anonymous sources.

The detail is part of a story that the political news website published Friday saying Trump, a real estate mogul and former Atlantic City casino tycoon, is struggling after a few weeks in the Oval Office and is frustrated in his attempts to run the federal government like a business.

1. Lunch meeting? That should be about 6 hours.

[HoneyBadger]

9. Oh Snap!

Buy KFC stock now!

[DeminPennswoods]

13. The food has no chance...

[cloudbase]

28. Will he let Chris supersize it? n/t

[hibbing]

2. Smooooooch that behind

Well, they have their racist in at DOJ, I wonder what position he's groveling for. He's such a bully I can't stand him, and the corporate press loves him because of that.

Peace

[djg21]

34. I'll bet a beer that

Christie is being interviewed to replace Priebus as Chief of Staff.

[gordianot]

3. Trump needs a enforcer.

Christie is the man who has proven he can shut it down and walk away.

[mpcamb]

33. And we need to get Christi's fat behind in court with a Bridgegate indictment.

Keep his crooked butt out of national government.

[truthisfreedom]

4. "2nd wave"

He makes quite a splash when he jumps in the hot tub.

[bucolic_frolic]

5. Will you be Mike Pence's VP?

[elleng]

20. Thought of that last night (pre-nightmare!)

[dchill]

6. Maybe he'll be offered a position as Ambassador...

to Federal prison.

[randome]

7. Ah-ha! Now we have an applicant for the new position of...

...National Security Advisor/Chief Of Staff/Communications Director/PR Spokesman.

Dolt45...making America overwhelmed again!

8. Reince gets rinsed?

They've been clumsily telegraphing their unhappiness
with Preibus for a while through surrogates.
If he had any self-respect, he'd quit and blow
the whistle on the Trump clownshow.

[keithbvadu2]

10. It won't be a humiliation dinner? -- Like he did to Romney?

[procon]

11. Is this the death knell for Reince Priebus?

Priebus had one job and he sucks at it. Christie as White House Chief of Staff would probably up to the task, but he brings his own set baggage that could easy blow up and create more problems for Trump and his gang of inept Keystone Kops.

[Friend or Foe]

12. Careful Chris!

You might wake up Wednesday deported to the backwaters of Guatemala.

[Renew Deal]

14. Kushner's father is a crook that Christie locked up

That's not Christie's fault.

Charles Kushner (born May 16, 1954) is an American real estate developer and convicted felon. He founded Kushner Companies in 1985. In 2005, he was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering, and served time in federal prison. After his release he resumed his career in real estate. He is the father of Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of and senior advisor to President Donald Trump.

15. Is Romney's leg twitching yet?

He really should be able to get some kind of job if he wants it.

[2naSalit]

16. It IS Valentine's Day on Tuesday......nt

[Bengus81]

17. Oh come on Jared,just because he threw your CROOK dad in jail for a stretch....

is no reason to still be mad at Christie Creme!

[not fooled]

19. Christie vs. Kushner!

Mano a mano!

Don't hold back, boys.

Fisticuffs in the White House?

[KPN]

18. Maybe 45 just needs advice on how to nip a pesky scandal in the bud ...

he's got a lethal one with the Flynn-Russia tie. Does 45 just cut Flynn loose? Who better to share experiences and tell him what not to do than the fat man himself?

[louis-t]

21. Don't do it, Chris!

He just wants you to pay for lunch. Then he will humiliate you in front of everybody.

[DFW]

22. Could there be a new cabinet position in the making?

Now that the Ministry of Soviet Affairs has been given to Tillerson and Tom Price is looking to head up the newly designated Department of Ill Health and Inhuman Disservices, while Governor Oops seems to be content with thinking the Energy Department's main concern is his endurance on the dance floor, I hereby nominate Chris Christie for Secretary of Weight. We might as well have at least ONE cabinet member who is well versed in the subject of the Department he about to lead.

[Laffy Kat]

26. It would have to be a kitchen cabinet.

Sorry. That was beneath me.

[DFW]

29. Oh, I thought it was pretty good.

Don't sell yourself short!

[Laffy Kat]

30. It was body-shaming and that is wrong. Even if it's Christie.

I just couldn't help myself.

[DFW]

37. I wouldn't feel bad about it

Christie is not normal circumstances. He has repeatedly shown himself to be mean-spirited in the extreme, and indicated in no small degree that he is corrupt as well. I think there are several degrees of slime to penetrate before we are close to sinking to his level.

[Cha]

41. Secretary of Bridge Affairs

[DFW]

44. One big advantage to that:

We can bid hm One No Trump!

[VWolf]

23. Awwwww,

on Valentine's day and everything. Isn't that special!

[Danascot]

24. Too bad Trump already picked

Elaine Chaos as Transportation Secty, Christie would be perfect!

[NastyRiffraff]

25. I love the crunching sound

of Republicans eating their own. This should be good.

[Cha]

40. lol

[matt819]

27. Bend over, Chris

He's gonna get fucked again.

He's like Wiley coyote and that damned wall he keeps running into. Never learns. Loser. Sad.

[tavernier]

31. Please Master, Please (in Boris Karloff accent)

More lashes, Master!

[Sunlei]

32. Kushner the only one with a sick look on his face the day after he 'authorized' killing babies, kids

and woman. 100% a go vote hey KUSHNER? not even YOU had the spine to tell the incompetent president the first ever GROUND mission was to dangerous, not enough expert planning? Kellyanne & Bannon laughing and you with a sick look on your face.

[crazycatlady]

35. Abandoning NJ yet again....

[Yavin4]

36. Have some self respect man. He dumped you before.

He will dump you again. He doesn't love you. He's a user. This is sad.

[cstanleytech]

38. I'm wondering if he is going to announce that he has chosen Christie to take Flynns place.

If so I dont understand it since Christie doesnt have national security experience does he? Then again Trump does like to surround himself with assholes, probably because he thinks they make him look better in comparison.

[wishstar]

39. Christie can advise him how to limit fallout so just aides take the fall

Since Christie was able to escape prosecution for Bridgegate, he has some skills that might come in handy about now

Seriously though, Trump would be lucky if Christie would come to the rescue to repair the train wreck in WH, but I doubt Christie wants to be fall guy for Trump's incompetence

[laserhaas]

42. As NJ U.S. Attorney, Christie gave Ashcroft $50 million

To become a Deferred Prosecution Agreement monitor

Then Chris Christie was rewarded with Governorship; because, in this country, there's no other way or coin of phrase known to exist, to describe...

A federal prosecutor getting millions of dollars...

To ...forgo...a federal prosecution.

Correct?

43. I hope Trump holds the football out and then snatches it back once again just to...

...humiliate Christie further.

[apnu]

45. Did Trump want someone to grab him a burger?
