Chris Christie reportedly took time out of his 30th wedding anniversary trip in Florida to coach Donald Trump in the last GOP debate, prompting speculation that the New Jersey Governor is positioning himself as the candidate's vice president.

Christie was slammed for 'political opportunism' when he endorsed Trump in February and relentlessly mocked after he appeared on stage with the business tycoon after Super Tuesday with a glazed look in his eyes.

Despite vicious attacks against each other before Christie dropped out of the 2016 presidential election, the two have since buried the hatchet.

Christie has become a key figure in Trump's campaign, serving as a coach, adviser, and fundraising figure, NJ.com reported.

While the two launched vicious attacks against each other when Christie was still in the running, the two appear to have buried the hatchet

According to a member of Christie's inner circle, the governor was on his 30th anniversary wedding trip to Florida when he helped Trump prepare for the last GOP debate in Miami on March 10, NJ.com reported.

'Christie is clearly making the transition from endorser to enabler and positioning himself to be a major player in the Trump camp,' David M. Kennedy, a presidential historian told the website.

Christie avoided answering questions about his involvement with the debate coaching, while his spokesman Kevin Roberts simply told NJ Advance Media that he was 'on vacation with his family'.

If the claims about Christie's debate prep are true, the governor may indeed have had a positive effect after Trump defended the size of his manhood on March 3.

During the debate in Detroit, Rubio suggested Trump has small hands, only for him to retort: 'I've never heard of this one. Look at those hands. Are they small hands?'

'And he referred to my hands – if they're small, something else must be small.'

The following debate on March 10 was noted for its surprising civility.

Sources close to the governor also said Christie was drumming up support among policy makers and donors as Trump gets closer to securing the Republican nomination.

Social media was abuzz with memes when Chris Christie stood behind Trump on March 1 with a glazed look in his eyes

The governor threw his support behind Trump just two weeks after he dropped out of the presidential race in February.

Trump said: 'Generally speaking I'm not big on endorsements. This was an endorsement that really meant a lot.'

Governor Christie added how proud he was to be on the 'Trump team,' and said he believed Trump 'will do what needs to be done to protect the American people.

When Trump took to the stage to address his Super Tuesday wins on March 1, Christie stood behind him as social media was abuzz with jokes that he had been taken hostage.

The GOP establishment also criticized Christie for being 'opportunistic' with his endorsement.

The governor also refuted claims that he was being stepped on by the Republican frontrunner.

He said: 'When you’re there to help them, you’re not the show. They’re the show. And if you try to make yourself the show, you’re not helping them.

'I'm more than happy to take a back seat to someone if that's the role that I'm supposed to be playing. But I don't feel like his sidekick.'

The two had attacked each other when Christie was still in the running for president.

In November, Trump wrote on Twitter: 'How is Chris Christie running the state of NJ, which is deeply troubled, when he is spending all of his time in NH? New Jerseyans not happy!'

Christie meanwhile attacked Trump just last month for his attitude after one debate, saying; 'What’s that tell you about what we can expect if things go sideways when you go into the Oval Office? What are you going to do? Go upstairs to the residence and say I’m not playing?

'You know, Vladimir Putin isn’t being nice to me, I’m not going to return his call? The press isn’t being nice to me, I’m not going to hold any more press conferences?'
