Remedial presidenting for dummies

This is hard to believe. But I do believe it:
When he met with Trump last week, Gingrich says, “He commented, ‘This is really a bigger job than I thought.’ Which is good. He should think that.” As president, Gingrich went on, “you have war and peace, you have enormous powers … and it all comes down to the Oval Office and it all comes down to you.”
I sure am glad he has a lot of experienced hands around him guiding him through this. Like … Reince Preibus, Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn. Well, he does have Tom DeLay’s ethics lawyer so there’s that.
Even George W. Bush knew how big a job it was. He’d spent his life around politics. And he was a callow fool nonetheless. This is something else again.
