Former Speaker of The House Newt Gingrich said President Donald Trump hit a “home run” during his State of The Union address, Wednesday on “Fox & Friends.”

Gingrich thinks Trump has to be careful not to oversell his victory and must continue to act presidential.

“I also think [Trump] understands, and this is something Reagan came to understand, last night was a home run. You don’t need to go out and also sell popcorn and also go down and sell beer. You need to be the star,” he said.

“I think he has got to drive these themes. But I think he ought to stay presidential,” Gingrich continued. “He was very good in Davos at being President of the United States. He was very good last night as President of the United States. He doesn’t need to revert to being candidate Trump.”

When Gingrich was asked what his favorite line from the speech was he said it was when Trump said American are dreamers too, and then he slammed Democrats for their views on immigration.

“Oh I think Americans are dreamers, too. I think it was the best line,” he concluded. “Some Democrats are so idiotically out of touch with reality, that the idea of describing all of us collectively as dreamers is offensive to them because then they would have to be pro-American.”
