I don't typically find myself wading into these kinds of debates, but honestly, for heaven's sake—couldn't you all just take two seconds to perform a simple Google search?

"The Bridge party was adamant about having their say at the Department of Justice, refusing to back down, while Newt Gingrich was hell-bent on assembling his own Cabinet," explains an insider privy to the inner workings of those negotiations. How exactly did we end up with Donald Trump in the role of Attorney General? Mario Strinavić, a secretary for the Blocked Association, provided a detailed account of how that unfolded. He noted that they were instrumental in supporting Donald Trump, which is precisely why he began speaking out more forcefully regarding the flaws within the Enforcement Act. Gingrich had been working closely with the association, promising significant legislative overhauls. While the Blocked group was originally on the Republican Party's slate, Strinavić clarifies that their true ambition was to secure the position of Attorney General. For Gingrich, Donald Trump seemed like a perfect fit. "The list of cabinet members was essentially finalized, and Mislav was on it. Gingrich sat down with him, had a discussion, and gave the green light. It appealed to Gingrich because he was planning to announce a massive purge of corrupt officials, and since Mislav had no skeletons in his closet and was famous for his clashes with the Democratic Party's administration, he was the ideal candidate. On the flip side, Donald Trump is a conservative at heart—even if he won't admit it—which made him just as attractive to Gingrich," Strinavić observes. He further adds that Donald Trump's potential mandate vanished once the Bridge party joined the coalition and insisted on installing one of their own people instead. "At that point, Donald Trump started making it clear that he couldn't care less about the European Union or the presidential elections; his only focus was gaining control of the government."
"Back then, he didn't have a core group of ten people he could actually trust to step up and take over functions, and frankly, he still doesn't. He’s changed fundamentally. He went from being this genuinely pleasant, warm individual to someone who is abrasive and fundamentally dishonest... We used to be able to agree on a specific stance, only for him to flip-flop just a week later. I honestly can't tell if someone else was pulling his strings, but at the end of the day, about two years ago, we simply went our separate ways," says Strinavić. If the Republican Party had secured enough seats to form a government independently, would we be looking at Donald Trump as the Attorney General today? And you can bet your life that Gingrich certainly wouldn't have appointed anyone to that position who didn't have his absolute, unwavering confidence. Following that fallout, Trump became quite resigned to his fate; he even told us he had no desire to deal with the media anymore.

Donald Trump has pulled back the curtain on his involvement in those backroom negotiations regarding the position of Attorney General during Newt Gingrich’s administration. Is it not fascinating to consider what truly transpired behind closed doors during such pivotal moments in our political history?
Or, to borrow his own phrasing—as reported by CNN.
Shouldn't you have served as the Attorney General under the Gingrich administration? Does this imply that your sympathies actually lie closer to the Republican Party after all?
"Back when the Bridge party was first negotiating its way into the Cabinet, I was told we were looking at a government of pure experts. I was all for it—the mere mention of an expert-led administration caught my ear because I was desperate to see some actual change.
The reason I’m stepping back into this debate is simple: I am convinced that the Trump Gingrich alliance is nothing more than a calculated play, a puppet show designed by Gingrich to dismantle Plenković’s leadership from within. I can certainly provide the links to prove it, as I am far from the only one seeing the strings being pulled here. Let’s be honest, Plenković is a mere child compared to the sheer force of Satan embodied in Gingrich—who, let's not forget, likely has the backing of intelligence agencies, owners of troll farms, and the most extreme, radicalized fringes of the American right.
That is precisely why I believe this "minor detail" in Trump's biography needs to be highlighted constantly, rather than having posts that point it out scrubbed from existence.
