Donald Trump delivered a foreign policy speech today that got a thumbs-up from Newt Gingrich for these reasons:
Washington elites mock Trump for mispronouncing Tanzania. They don't get it. He said the most important word correctly: America. He gets it.

This was a serious foreign policy speech by Trump. It is worth reading and thinking about. It will be ridiculed by Washington elites.

Elites have to attack Trump's foreign policy speech because he is challenging their core values and failures. To them it is dangerous ideas.

Trump was appreciative:
Thank you Newt! https://t.co/FOh7qEnKUF

Many, however, found Gingrich’s singling out of “Washington elites” as somewhat ironic:

Maybe the best part of Trump's fake "outsiders" campaign is the insiders pretending to be outsiders. https://t.co/epM4AUl7fl
