Academia, the left, and the elite media have no idea how to deal with this outsider, and, as a result, they have let loose a torrent of criticism towards Trump, his policies, and his cabinet.

Gingrich shares some perceptions gained through his personal interactions with Trump and familiarity with Trump’s life.
