No, I don't think so. I think if you date it from the 7th of November after it was clear he was going to be president all the way up through the first month, and I'm writing on this Friday at Gingrich 360, there is a speed, a comprehensiveness, a clarity of what he's doing, which is extended through his whole team.

If you look at who he's been picking for key jobs, starting with Vice President Vance, he has a clear sense of the entrepreneurial energy and drive and toughness that he wants throughout the whole government and of the kind of America that he thinks we have to become if we're going to be great again. So I've never seen anything like it.

I think if he can continue it for four years and if he can win the 2026 election, then I think he's going to be in a league just below Washington and Lincoln and maybe slightly above Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who created a majority that lasted for 90 years. Trump is doing stuff I wouldn't have thought possible.

Well, I think historians will look back and say the greatest mistake the left ever made was taking the election away from Trump in 2020. Because what it did is it allowed him to spend four years thinking about what had gone wrong, thinking about lessons he'd learned as president.

And at the same time, the left misunderstood the election, thought they had a mandate to go further and further left to be truly weird. And the net effect was that you ended up, I think, with a country that was madder, sicker of the left, more ready for change. And thanks in part to the America First Policy Institute,

and the remarkable work of Linda McMahon and Brooke Rollins, there were some 400 people from the Trump administration who were actively preparing for a second administration. So when he got elected on the 7th, of November, they already had, I think, 600 executive orders. They knew what they wanted to do. They knew who they trusted. It was totally different.

Remember, in 2016, Trump had never run for public office. There was no Trump organization. MAGA was a movement, but it wasn't a structure. Now MAGA, all across America, there are huge numbers of people who think of themselves as MAGA and who are prepared to go out and work and help elect candidates who belong to Make America Great Again. Totally different world than the world of 2016.

Well, I just did a newsletter for Gingrich 360. My background, I'm a PhD in European history. I've lived in France, Germany, Belgium, and Rome. So I have some general interest in Europe. I think what J.D. Vance did is sort of like your next-door neighbor being an alcoholic, and you go over and you do an intervention. He went to the Europeans, and what I think was an intervention.

Their system is failing. Their elites are so isolated from the world and so isolated from their own people that they maintain power by cheating every day. And Vance, I mean, has a very courageous speech. They actually made two speeches, one in Paris on artificial intelligence and then a speech in Munich. And they both had a similar pattern. You know, I just did some numbers a while ago.

There are 15 trillion dollar companies that are American, four that are Chinese, and then Saudi Aramco. There are no European companies that are trillion dollar companies. Well, the Europeans chose regulation rather than innovation, and it's now destroying the continent.
