Newt Gingrich chastises Donald Trump over Miss Universe tweetstorm

Newt Gingrich, a vocal surrogate for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, turned critical Friday, following a wildly controversial week for the Republican nominee.

“I think what Trump’s got to understand is he’s either got to sing ‘I’ve Got To Be Me’ or he’s got to learn a new song, ‘I’ve Got To Be President,’” Gingrich told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in an interview. “They’re not the same song. He’s got to become much more disciplined.”

Gingrich -- who said he had believed Trump “had really turned a corner” with his temperament -- berated the real estate mogul for his last several days, when Trump entered into a nasty feud with former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, attacking her on Twitter and urging Americans to “check out [her] sex tape.” (There is little evidence of any such “sex tape” existing of Machado, though a Buzzfeed investigation found Trump once made a cameo appearance in an adult film produced by Playboy.)

“This last week I think has been, frankly, a lost week, a week which has hurt him, which has shaken his own supporters,” Gingrich said.

Perhaps Trump will accuse Newt of being a part of the liberal establishment by not backing him 100% as he continued to attack Alicia Machado to close out the week.

1. If you haven't become "more disciplined" by age 70, I am afraid it's not gonna happen.

6. His dad knew he was a piece of shit when he sent him to military school

He's always been a spoiled brat and he always will be.

9. I graduated from a military school about the same time.

Many were there because of discipline problems. They were given a choice between reform school, join the army or military school. Others were there because the parents wanted them out of the house and a few were there because their parents thought they would get a better education than public school.

I remember one class mate that was just like trump. Rich parents and a bully. I'd bet there was a trump like cadet at every school. I had a ruff time in public school because of a ADD. Of course no one knew about that term them. At military school I finally got good grades, most likely because class size were kept low, 8 to 10 per class.

My guess is that you are close to the truth. Dad and mom couldn't deal with him.

2. Classic ! And just 2 days after Newt puts his own body

Weight into a Machado attack. Who'd have thought that it would have ignited and run this long. If Ms Machado was looking for some measure of revenge for what Trump did to her, she will get great closure to know she cleaned Donnie's clock out, and we quite likely turned the momentum in Hillary's favour.

3. The craziest thing in this development? Gingrich actually believes Trump can change . . .

That, or win or lose Newtie hopes for a huge payoff.

5. "a lost week, a week which has hurt him, which has shaken his own supporters”

Not nearly enough.

14. How many more lost weeks can tRump afford? . . . nt

7. I believe Gingrich was a founding father of the tea party—by his actions. Go to hell, Gingrich.
