Newt Gingrich

It made him much more bold, much more determined, I think, than he would have been if he'd gotten reelected. And the other thing I would say is that they really underestimated his capacity. So you both had the American people who were increasingly fed up with the left,

And you had this extraordinary charismatic leader who I think is captured best by giving out French fries at McDonald's and then getting on a garbage truck and putting on a garbage collector's vest and walking into a 50,000 people arena and saying, they tell me this makes me look thinner. Maybe I should wear it for the rest of the campaign. I mean, the ability to connect with humans.

Remember, 87% of the country goes to McDonald's at least once a year. And 40 million Americans, including Jeff Bezos, have actually worked at McDonald's. So Trump's instinct for being where the American people are, not where the Harvard professor is or the Yale or Princeton professor, but where the American people are, has been astonishing. It's a remarkable thing.

Well, let me point out, by the way, we're speaking during a week when the Trump endorsed candidate just won the presidency of Poland in a very divisive election in which the European Union and Brussels had poured billions into trying to help reelect a left winger. And he lost and he had with the direct support of the Trump team. For the conservative populist.

So there's something very big going on planet wide. Trump does make a big difference. And I think you have to start with me just ask yourself, as you point out that this is a billionaire, who I think owns like 18 or 19 golf courses, he could go home, spend the rest of his life being happy.

He gets assaulted viciously for four years, loses what I think is absolutely a rigged election, is at his low point after January 6th, with everybody pounding on him, including a number of Republicans. And he ends up, you know, getting his act together, looking in his heart, deciding that he owes it to America.

And I really think he believes that, that this is an act of citizenship and of patriotism. And then, having already been investigated, impeached twice, had four different efforts to put him in jail. Then he has two assassination attempts. And I remember when Calista and I made movies about John Paul II and about Ronald Reagan, they were both shot by an attempted assassin.

And when they first got together, they compared notes and why did God spare them? And they concluded God spared them to defeat the Soviet empire, which they did in the following eight or nine years.

Well, I think Trump, and I know this in part from Speaker Mike Johnson, who was with President Trump in Mar-a-Lago the day he was told about the second potential assassin who had been caught literally on the golf course, trying to get ready to shoot the president while he was golfing. And as Johnson told me, that really broke through.

And he and the president went to a private room and prayed for two hours. And I think that's why you see in the inaugural address and in later speeches that I think Trump really does think he was spared, because as you'll remember at Butler, if he had turned One second later, he'd have been dead.
