I HAVE FIVE KEY MESSAGES I WANT TO GO THROUGH BRIEFLY AND THEN TAKE QUESTIONS. FIRST, PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP IS A UNIQUE, HISTORIC FIGURE WORTHY OF STUDY IN HIS OWN RIGHT. SECOND, THE TRUMPISM IS A BOLD AND PROFOUNDLY DIFFERENT WAY OF THINKING THAT NEEDS CODIFICATION AND DEVELOPMENT THROUGH ACTION. THIRD, THE COMBINATION OF INERTIA AND RELENTLESS HOSTILITY OF THE LEFT WILL CHALLENGE THE VERY SURVIVAL OF TRUMPISM. FOURTH, MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WILL HAVE TO WORK FOR TRUMPISM TO SUCCEED. FOR US TO BE ABLE TO DEVELOP THE IDEAS, WHEN THE ARGUMENTS AT CITY COUNCIL AND COUNTY COMMISSION, SCHOOL BOARDS ACROSS STATE LEGISLATURE, ALWAYS THINGS ARE POSSIBLE, BUT IT TAKES AND NORMA'S MOVEMENT. FINALLY, I WANT TO TALK THE FLEA ABOUT US. WHAT DO PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTIVISTS IN THIS MOVEMENT AND AROUND ....
Just watch the video.

What a waste of my time this was. Here we have a very meaningful video by one of the country’s best speakers and most of the responses are from are from nitpicking morons. The smarter folks are busy watching the video.
bump for later
Video not working for me...
WHY ARE YOU YELLING?
I recommend you read the only unauthorized Trump biography that has been around since 1985. It’s done very well without all the propaganda for or against..
Trump: The Saga of America’s Most Powerful Real Estate Baron Hardcover – June 14, 1985
by Jerome Tuccille
This book was an unauthorized attempt to chronicle Trump’s life. The author met many roadblocks in writing this book. I thought that this book would be a hatchet job and a fairly negative look at Trump. However, Tuccille admits where there is a conflict and I felt did a very good job writing about Trump, his family, and business. Despite the fact that Tuccille only got one chance to talk with those close to Trump there are many interesting details. Interestingly, Trump’s book The Art of the Deal, seems to be an answer to this book.

An excellent speech. Witty as per usual. Deeply insightful. The whole thing is informative and highly entertaining.
A quibble on his comment on the Ayn Rand cabinet. The characterization of Trump’s cabinet as an Ayn Rand cabinet reflects that he has brought together many “men of the mind,” meaning creative men who accomplish things. Newt’s comment is that unlike in the novel Atlas Shrugged, where John Galt and his men of the mind go on strike, Donald Trump and his men of the mind are going to work.
Newt is of course absolutely correct. But, Ayn Rand wrote Atlas Shrugged as a forewarning, so we could change direction and avoid that scenario. Same thing with 1984 and Brave New World.
Having mentioned Ayn Rand, I thought of Howard Roark, in The Fountainhead, a brilliant architect. When he couldn’t design buildings expressing his creativity, he choose to work in a quarry as an honest laborer rather than sell out. (Later, he got work in which he could express his creativity, he did great for his clients and gained increasingly more meaningful work.) I thought of this because of the respect Trump - the blue collar billionaire - has for those who do the actual work of their enterprises.

A C-Span video; Newt Gingrich at the Heritage Foundation Newt Gingrich on the Principles of Trumpism.
Transcript Excerpt;
I have five key messages I want to go through briefly and then take questions. First, president-elect trump is a unique, historic figure worthy of study in his own right. Second, the trumpism is a bold and profoundly different way of thinking that needs codification and development through action. Third, the combination of inertia and relentless hostility of the left will challenge the very survival of trumpism. Fourth, millions of americans will have to work for trumpism to succeed. For us to be able to develop the ideas, when the arguments at city council and county commission, school boards across state legislature, always things are possible, but it takes and norma’s movement. Finally, I want to talk the flea about us. What do people who are activists in this movement and around ....

Thank you so much for this link; it worked!!
That speech from Newt, as well as the question-answer session afterwards was WELL worth the time to see it.
I think Ayn Rand deserves some criticism for all the hard work she had the main characters do, only to retire them to their own echo chamber. I think after spending so many years writing the novel, it came to a point where she decided to take the next possible exit.
