Former Speaker Newt Gingrich said President Trump needs to make “serious changes” if he wants to have a stable presidency.

The Trump ally said in a Fox News interview with Bill Hemmer Friday that Trump has taken a “good first step” in bringing in John Kelly as chief of staff, but that other changes are necessary.

"You don’t get down to 35 percent approval and have people in your own party shooting at you and conclude that everything’s going fine," he said.

Gingrich added that Trump is in a “qualitatively different position” now than when he endured previous controversies. "If he wants to get his agenda enacted that if he wants get things done and have a presidency that is stable, he is going to have to have a couple of serious changes."

1. And you helped put him in that position, Newtie.

Gingrich is a sleazy, lying, bellicose SOB who supported SCROTUS every inch of the way and every way he did or said anything. He's complaining now because it's backfired.

[thbobby]

2. A couple of serious changes?

How about the president and vice president?

8. That was what I was thinking

The only serious change possible would be removing the abscess at the top. Trump isn't going to change, aside from probably getting more erratic and extreme. Newt needs to shut up and go away. He's never had anything worthwhile to say.

3. But Trump's an expert at "branding"

and a "Master manipulator of the media"

4. Has Gingrich's wife become Ambassador to the Vatican yet?

Nothing like an adulterer,
married to a divorced man,
as Ambassador to the Vatican.

9. Oh my god

I hadn't thought of that!

[trof]

5. Well, we know that there won't be serious changes so i guess that's that.

6. Heh. Mr. Little Piggy Giraffe Hunter speaks. "Ooh! Ooh! Over here Mr. President! Pick me!"

[Botany]

7. Why do i get the feeling that Trump's run as POTUS is coming to an end?

BTW Newt Trump all the changes in the World will not stop Mueller's investigation.

10. This bastard sings a different tune everyday depending on wind direction and speed. nt.

[BigmanPigman]

12. And we hear more of his BS whenever he is promoting a self interest

or money making product/project.

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

16. I want to know why. . .

I don't understand why every time that bloated, grifting, adulterer changes his tune, he gets airtime to play it. He is totally irrelevant. . .

[Initech]

11. We need to do to Trump what they did to Clinton.

Turnabout is fair play, Newt.

[workinclasszero]

13. FO Newt

Don't you have a dying wife on her deathbed to dump for a third trophy wife or something you miserable hypocrite?

[Javaman]

15. Newt! What happened? Your Fearless Leader was perfect last time you opened your stupid

pie hole. The rats are finally leaving the sinking ship.
