Gingrich: 'Of course' we can afford to have president with split personality

Source: The Hill

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) on Sunday defended Donald Trump after saying the Republican presidential nominee has two personalities — a "big Trump" and a "little Trump."

"Of course you can," the former Speaker, a top Trump adviser, said when asked on "Fox News Sunday" if the country could afford to have a president with such a split personality.
"I think we had a number of presidents who had interesting challenges in their personality."

Gingrich earlier this month called little Trump "frankly pathetic," after the Republican nominee attacked Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) for distancing himself from Trump just weeks before the election. “Look, first of all, let me just say about Trump, who I admire and I’ve tried to help as much as I can. There’s a big Trump and a little Trump,” Gingrich said.

“The little Trump is frankly pathetic. I mean, he’s mad over not getting a phone call?"

Clinton actually released pics later showing Gingrich up in the front of the plane, to boot.
