Donald Trump stoked speculation about his potential vice presidential pick once again by giving Newt Gingrich a big shout out at a campaign event in Cincinnati tonight.
"Newt has been my friend for a long time. And I'm not saying anything, and I'm not telling even Newt anything, but I can tell you, in one form or another, Newt Gingrich is going to be involved with our government," he said. "That I can tell you."
Trump said Gingrich, the former Speaker of the House is "smart" and "tough."
"He gets it. And he says I'm the biggest thing he's ever seen in the history of politics," Trump said. "Now, Newt is going to be involved, if I can get approval from his wife. That may be tough, but that's okay."
The former Speaker of the House was on hand to introduce Trump at tonight's event, and the pair hosted a brief Facebook Live video shortly before the start of the event.
During his introduction, Gingrich said that Trump "is going to kick over the table" in Washington, should he be elected.
Trump returned the favor by saying that "Newt gets it."
"I'm not saying it's Newt, but if it is Newt, nobody's going to be beating him in those debates," Trump said.
The rest of Trump's speech touched on a wide range of issues, including Attorney General Loretta Lynch's decision not to press charges against Hillary Clinton relating to her email controversy. Trump said that decision marked another sign of how it is a "rigged system."
Trump also touched on the scandal surrounding a Tweet that his social media director shared that featured a six-pointed star that some interpreted as a Star of David, prompting accusations of anti-Semitism.
"When I looked at it I didn't think anything," Trump said.
"My boy comes home from school, Barron, he draws stars all over the place. I never said 'That's the Star of David, Barron, don't!'" he said.
