Gingrich: Little Trump reacts to criticism 'almost uncontrollably'

Source: Politico

One of Donald Trump’s top surrogates all but described the Republican presidential nominee as a thin-skinned candidate whose weakness is that he lashes out “almost uncontrollably.”

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich explained his Big Trump, Little Trump analogy during an interview conducted Tuesday with the Washington Examiner’s David Drucker.

Gingrich said there’s a side of Little Trump’s personality that’s “very sensitive, particularly to anything which attacks his own sense of integrity or his own sense of respectability, and he reacts very intensely, almost uncontrollably, to those kinds of situations.”

Gingrich went on to say he hoped Trump would "grow out of" this "weakness."

At 70?

What Gingrich is describing here are the symptoms of narcissistic rage following narcissistic injury. It'll be interesting to see how long Trump will accept this criticism from one of his allies and surrogates without lashing out.

He knows that it's all over but the shouting, and I predict that he's going to get very nasty between now and Nov. 8.

break him, psychologically. He won't be able to deal with it at all.

My only hope is that I have enough popcorn on hand to watch the fireworks.

Obama's "stop whining" comment got so far under the orange that he is bringing o's half brother to the debate. Like that will help in any way?

Hillary is bringing mark cuban. trump is bringing someone to bother obama; oh, and benghazzi (which he also tried at his disaster convention - didn't work there either).
