33. He pretends to be a "Futurologist."

With the lavish amounts of spare time that the American people have provided him, Gingrich dabbles in futurology--not the cool art movement, but the supposed art of envisioning the future based upon current developments in many fields.

Notable futurologists, of which Gingrich is not a part, include Ray Kurzweil and Richard Feynman.

Gingrich even got his name on a series of alternative history novels by William Forstchen, which may someday be noted along with Mein Kampf as books people should have read before they let the author wind up in charge.

And mark my words, if Gingrich gets on the ticket, he will wind up in charge, first as Trump's Cheneyesque eminance grise, then forcing Trump out of office by hook or by crook.
