Gingrich Suggests Trump Backing Off ‘Drain the Swamp’

Newt Gingrich told NPR that Donald Trump had taken a different tone as president-elect and may be leaving behind his “cute” campaign promise to “drain the swamp.”

Said Gingrich: “I’m told he now just disclaims that. He now says it was cute, but he doesn’t want to use it anymore… Maybe he feels that as president, as the next president of the United States, that he should be marginally more dignified than talking about alligators in swamps.”
