'The Alligators Are Really Unhappy'

Breaking down the state of politics in Washington, D.C. – "turmoil and confusion" under President Donald Trump's leadership – former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said "draining the swamp" has led to the "alligators" being "pretty mad."

"The simplest way to think of it is: Donald Trump really is draining the swamp, and the alligators are really unhappy," Gingrich told "The Cats Roundtable" of 970 AM-N.Y.

Gingrich did admit change can be "frustrating" and "sometimes people get a little scared," especially the other side of the aisle, which stands to lose ground in Washington.

"If you think about it for a second, this guy is actually doing what he said he would do: We're getting conservative judges nominated; we are getting regulations rolled back; we're getting a real fight for a tax cut; we're getting a much more aggressive pro-American trade policy, and pro-American farm policy," Gringrich told host John Catsimatidis.

"The other side sees this as the end of their way of life. He is an enormous threat to them."

Newt is as relevant as Rove and one of the Gators as I see it. He's got some schlubby nerd Toffler " Futurist " ideas and is one of those ineffective whimps that can talk he way out of a real fight and rides whatever wave the water wings on his chubby arms carry him through.

You left out he's usually the smartest one in the room. Nuff said.
