Gingrich: World Leaders Respect Trump; Media 'Pygmies' Don't
http://www.newsmax.com ^ | 05/22/2017 | Sandy Fitzgerald

It's "ironic" to watch world leaders in Israel and Saudi Arabia treating President Donald Trump with "enormous respect" while the "pygmies" in the media treat him with contempt, and the president and his administration should take a tougher stance against them, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Monday.

"The reporters are pygmies, they're little midgets," Gingrich told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program. "They spent their lifetime watching other people do real things."

Further, Gingrich said, the Trump administration should put out a new rule when it comes to the media.

Further, Gingrich said, the Trump administration should put out a new rule when it comes to the media.

"If you're a midget, that's fine, but you're not going to be at a press conference with me or my staff," Gingrich said members of the media should be told. "I think they need to have a tougher attitude toward the media."

That would mean, he continued, for Trump to remind members of the media that he is the president, and "'you're not. And if you're not worthy of my talking to you, I'm not going to talk to you.'"

This would make the media "begin to fall in line, because the gap between how world leaders treat Donald Trump and the American media treats him is inexcusably big," said Gingrich.

Of course world leaders are going to treat the most powerful man on Earth with respect. Come on Newt. Even if the media were right about Trump, world leaders would still treat Trump the same. They’d treat HRC with respect as well.

You could not be more wrong. World leaders treated Barry for what he was. Leaders would have treated that bitch Hillary like the pimp whoring out the our nation that she would have been.
They recognize that Trump sincerely speaks his mind and will follow through. Enemies and friends alike respect that.

Did world leaders treat Obama with respect? Half the time they didn’t even meet him at the airport.

" world leaders are going to treat the most powerful man on Earth with respect."

They certainly didn't treat Obama with the same respect they are giving Trump. World leaders treated Obama with much distain. They gave respect to his office, not the man. How many times did Obama meet with 40 Arab heads of state, all in one room?

That is an insult to half-men.
The MSM are traitorous, sociopathic, narcissistic scum.

What are the differences?

I know Obama was left at the airport a few times, but wasn’t he given the red carpet treatment pretty much everywhere?

At least on his first trip?

The Trump Administration would benefit from bringing Gingrich into the inner circle.

Obama was proverbial place holder in the Oval Office, just occupying space, much like furniture, awaiting the arrival of a genuine leader.

I still remember Obama deplaning AF-1 from the lower deck Cargo Door when he landed in China.

President Trump would have told the AF-1 Pilot to rev up the Engines and head for home if they treated him that way.
