“The news media will take any possible negative about Trump and maximize with, whether it’s true or not,” he said. “This is an absurdity! Can you imagine any president of the United States being dumb enough to say to somebody, ‘I’d like you to go over and lie to Congress.'”

I don't know whether it's a good idea to rest your argument on the intelligence of a man who is famous for requiring dumbed-down reports with pretty pictures and no longer than one page.

1. Stopped reading at "Trump not dumb enough..."

19. What's funny is that on "The View," Meghan McCain and Abby Huntsman

claimed that Trump is too dumb to collude with Russia.

2. Richard Nixon was a brilliant man....n/t

[Guilded Lilly]

3. We don't have to imagine it. We have lived the nightmare of it every day since the election. N/t

[unblock]

4. he's certainly arrogant enough to do that. and feels entitled enough. and is disrespectful enough.

seriously, consider the reverse.

can you imagine, if someone suggested they lie to congress, donnie stopping them and saying, "no, no, no! even though it would show tremendous loyalty to me, and even though the congressional investigation is nothing but a partisan witch hunt, there are important principles here, and we must not lie to congress, even if it helps the democrats!"


gimme a break!

[Blue Owl]

5. Oh, he's dumb enough

n/t

[standingtall]

6. sure he is

especially to a republican congress that wanted to be lied to and knew they were being lied to for as long as they could deny they were being lied to.

7. never a bad time to bring up this reminder from Newt

Link to tweet

text:
Robert Mueller is superb choice to be special counsel. His reputation is impeccable for honesty and integrity. Media should now calm down

[Jarqui]

8. Actually, one has to be pretty dumb to make a statement like that

and expect it to do much good in the wake of all the lying and deception Trump has done

[ooky]

9. Trump "not dumb enough"?

Yeah Newt, good one. Try telling your buddy Vlad that.

[bdamomma]

10. STFU Newt.

[Raven123]

11. I could be wrong, but I believe Nixon did exactly that. What's to imagine?

[spanone]

12. newt to the rescue....of course he's dumb enough, newt.

[MoonRiver]

13. Hahaha, I beg to differ Newt!

[uponit7771]

14. InOtherWords Newt is too fuckin stupid to know a dumb person when he sees one

[In It to Win It]

15. Lie! Of course he is! He's even stupider!!!!

[FSogol]

16. LOL, we'll just have to agree to disagree, Newt!

[tblue37]

17. Since Mueller has all sorts of evidence, not just Cohen's word, it's equally dumb for

Gingrich to make such an argument.

[Paladin]

18. Oh, yeah. Like Newt is who you run to, for an accurate judgement of character.

On every single day of his miserable administration, trump has confirmed that he's fully capable of issuing such orders.

[MagickMuffin]

20. Hey Newt he IS dumb enough, as is your party

Dumbo ain't got nothing over you guys.


And your party is the master of distortion. Remember your "Contract on America", however, you were calling it "Contract with America", however, it was not a contract for Americans. It was a contract for corporations.

Bugger off, Newt!!!

21. LMFAO!
