Gingrich has long known that reality need not be a constraint. Government records also show a $368,334 advance for a book with a simple working title: Trump vs China. In other words, Gingrich was cool with China until he wasn’t. Further, in such spirit of US-Sino amity, the late Sheldon Adelson funded Gingrich’s 2012 presidential run with $20m, courtesy of the blackjack tables and roulette wheels of his casino in Macau. He would have done better to check his own financial disclosures.īy 2018, Newt and Callista Gingrich – ambassador to the Vatican under Trump – had invested at least $100,000 and possibly as much as $250,000 in certificates of deposit issued by the Bank of China.įor what it’s worth, Trump maintained a bank account in China. “For many, it is because they make so much money from China.” “Many of our elites refuse to even recognize the threat from Beijing,” Gingrich writes. Its opening pages deliver a familiar beat-down of China and its financial allies. The former speaker’s new book is heavy on familiar bombast and predictably short on introspection. His subtitle – A Travelogue from the Republican Road to Hell – refers to a route many would say was partly paved by Gingrich. Now, in the footsteps of Never Trumpers Rick Wilson and Stuart Stevens, he has penned a political memoir. After Jeb Bush left the presidential race in 2016, Miller emerged as vocal Trump critic. He served in a number of GOP campaigns, demonstrating media savvy and a knack for opposition research. Tim Miller is another long-term Republican operative, if not a frontline politician. His latest book, the catchily titled Defeating Big Government Socialism, comes as his party anticipates another congressional takeover in November. The former Georgia congressman ran for the presidential nomination in 2012, seamlessly adapted to the rise of Donald Trump in 2016, and kept on publishing all the while.
