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.

I’m predicting Obama will take up Islam, hook, line and sinker....to stick it to us.
Just report the news...damn it...
Stop being political judges.
The media are intellectually bankrupt, morally conceited and spiritually adrift...
Impin ain’t easy! Great character BTW.
Possibly (maybe) 1 midget in that picture.
Just going off shoes, build, normal dimensions and no discern-able Dwarfism attributes.
My EX was 4’8” her best friend 4’ 6”
Back in the day I would probably bet that anyone that called either a “Midget” or even “Hey Shorty” would come out on the “Short End of the Stick”
(Pun intended)
I have more experience than the above, a lot more
Ron dermer is going to be in hot water for his reaction when trump said he just got back from the middle east. Very visible to all. He should have done that on the inside..not a public display
It makes sense. recognizing ability is in the eye of the beholder.
Newt has been on a roll lately.
Even if the media were right about Trump, world leaders would still treat Trump the same. They’d treat HRC with respect as well.
Not certain at all. There were numerous times when Barak Obama was not treated with respect.
Remember him crawling out of the belly of AF-1 in China?
Remember Duarte calling him a Bastard?
