We might as well get used to it.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich praised the style and substance of Donald Trumps suggestion for a new nuclear arms race, calling the president-elects 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 Trumps 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, its how hes going to operate ― whether its brilliant or stupid.
