Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich praised the style and substance of Donald Trump’s suggestion for a new nuclear arms race, calling the president-elect’s use of Twitter to make major policy pronouncements “brilliant.”
Gingrich, an informal Trump adviser, told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace that the longstanding U.S. policy of reducing the number of its nuclear weapons has “failed.” He claimed that it has enabled former Cold War foes China, North Korea and Russia to rebuild or expand their capacities.
“There are a number of steps [Russia is] taking to be a war-fighting capability,” Gingrich said. “We have to, candidly, overmatch that.”
He also defended Trump’s decision to announce the new nuclear weapons policy over Twitter.
“On the tweeting thing, let me just suggest if I might, we might as well get used to it,” Gingrich said. “This is who he is, it’s how he’s going to operate ― whether it’s brilliant or stupid.”

Yup, I saw that. But take heart. His remark today was a heckuva make-up move, don’t you think?
Newt is a foil for Trump...and he performs his job brilliantly.
RINOsaurs do what RINOsaurs do!
Yes, MenSeekingMen can’t triangulate between all the statements they can’t control or spin. And they’ve been cut off from inside baseball, permanently. Just have to sit and take it.
A dear Freeper Friend calls the media the “MFM.”
I think that’s perfect.
It is!!
What will happen if Twitter’s owner cannot find a buyer for his ailing business? Lots of media will have to find a new venue to get their message out. I, as do many others, use it for research purposes and certainly not for social reasons. Perhaps Mr Trumps friends may buy it to help him continue this method of policy dissemination.
He’s still alive, he gets to say something as much as you or I.
Trying to make it sound like he wants an arms race when all he really indicated was, if the rest decide to make it one, we will win it - again.
Cheap quick way to bypass the media and talk to the people
VIVA TRUMP
