Newt Gingrich’s ‘Gaslighting’ Spin On Trump Speech Has Critics Saying ‘OMFG’ | EUROtoday

Critics on Wednesday puzzled whether or not former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) had seen the identical speech by President Donald Trump that everybody else had.

“To watch President Trump give a 19-minute disciplined speech that covered that many facts was worthy of [former President] Ronald Reagan,” Gingrich gushed.

“That was a good speech. It was an important speech,” the longtime ally of Trump fawningly continued. “Someday people will say it was one of the most important speeches of his career because it set the table for the entire debate over the next year and laid out what [former President Joe] Biden did to make the country a disaster, what Trump has already done, and where we are going in general, and why that’s the right direction.”

“I think it’s a very, very important speech,” he added.

Gingrich later referred to as Trump “one of the most consequential presidents” ever and mentioned he may quickly “rival the top three or four presidents in American history” if the 2026 midterms go effectively for Republicans.

He concluded: “I believe President Trump showed tonight that he’s prepared to focus, to be disciplined, to communicate, and if I were a Democrat, tonight would leave me very unnerved.”

Critics on social media didn’t purchase it:
