Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich praised President Donald Trump on Monday for changing the “game” with his Middle East peace deal, telling Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany that the “magic” he brought is something historians will study for years to come.
“The incredible thing about President Trump… is that he can be completely focused on the moment, but the other part of him is thinking strategically years and decades ahead, and the two somehow come together almost magically,” she said during an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle.”
“This is an extraordinary moment,” he continued. “Israel has been fighting wars for almost its entire existence – almost 80 years – and suddenly Donald Trump comes along and changes the whole game. No American president has ever done anything like this…”

“There’s a moment in history where you see all these countries come together. You see Trump personally knows everyone on that stage. Here’s someone.” [Trump] Someone who can literally cover the planet with their personal friends, connections and intermediaries and represents a level of vision and resilience.”
Gingrich then pointed to Trump’s Operation Midnight Hammer, the B-2 stealth bomber mission that disrupted Iran’s nuclear program in June, and said the move showed that the United States remains “by a wide margin… the leading power on the planet.”

“Imagine how both Xi and Putin must have felt as they watched this, realizing that they had seen the true leader of the world, and saw the world voluntarily rallying around him, not out of fear, but out of hope that with him they would create a peaceful, prosperous and secure Middle East.” he added.
The debate echoed similar sentiments from others, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who cited his country’s war against Russia and said in an interview with “The Sunday Briefing” that the Middle East peace agreement gave him “hope” that the war would end soon.
