Summary of Newt Gingrich's Understanding Trump

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Sample Book Insights:

#1 Trump’s candidacy was unlike anything America has ever seen before. He was a political outsider who did not care about political correctness, and he was going to enforce the law and keep Americans safe.

#2 Ignore the media and political establishment when it comes to Trump. Start with his background, which is different from normal politicians.

#3 Trump’s origin is important to understand how he was able to connect so successfully with the blue-collar workers who made up his electoral base. He grew up in a small, modest house in Queens, and his family was extremely close.

#4 Trump’s familiarity and comfort with working-class Americans allows him to intuitively understand what they care about and want. The rallies he held as president were important for him to see how much support he had, and he continued holding them after the election because of it.
