After Trump delivered a panicked, fear-drenched rant from the White House for eighteen minutes on his disastrous economy, Fox News immediately came to his aid to bail him out.
Newt Gingrich was the first to mumble sweet nothings in Trump’s ears and gush over Trump’s (well put by Tom Nichols) “unnerving display of fear.”
Newt has been handsomely compensated for his blustering, supportive rants since Trump made Gingrich’s wife an ambassador to the Holy See at the Vatican, and now Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
This one takes the cake.

Digby writes, “It’s true that Ronald Reagan knew how to read a lot of words on a teleprompter. But he didn’t feel the need to speak it at 5X normal speed.”
Gingrich then predicted Trump would be so successful he would keep the House and the Senate after the midterms. Not one political pundit, prognosticator, or MAGA cult member has made a statement like that.
