Newt Gingrich didn’t hold back on criticizing Donald Trump for his latest early morning tweet.
Trump got some immediate backlash following a tweet after 3 a.m. in which he questioned if “crooked Hillary” helped former Miss Universe Alicia Machado become a U.S. citizen.
Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate?

Trump was also widely criticized for a tweet attacking anonymous quotes in news reports that were allegedly from his campaign staff.
Anytime you see a story about me or my campaign saying “sources said,” DO NOT believe it. There are no sources, they are just made up lies!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 30, 2016
But he fought back against all the criticism later that day, in classic Trump style.
For those few people knocking me for tweeting at three o’clock in the morning, at least you know I will be there, awake, to answer the call!

Gingrich unloaded on Trump, telling Fox News’ Sean Hannity, “You can’t tweet at 3 o’clock in the morning. Period. There’s no excuse, ever, not if you’re going to be President of the United States.

Gingrich warned that Trump would lose the election if he’s “gotta be himself.”

He questioned if Trump was willing to “subordinate” himself in order to become president.
.@newtgingrich: “[Trump’s] got to decide that saving America…is worth his subordinating himself to difficult process of becoming POTUS.”

Gingrich concluded that Trump needs to show a lot more discipline if he wants the victory in November.
.@newtgingrich said @realDonaldTrump has “got to become much more disciplined.” Do you agree? #Hannity pic.twitter.com/rKLuqhpHIA

Do you think Gingrich is right or is he being too hard on the candidate?
