Kelsey Grammer Makes Bold Declaration About Donald Trump’s Legacy
What To Know
- Kelsey Grammer praised Donald Trump as “one of the greatest presidents we’ve ever had’ ahead of a dinner for the 2025 Kennedy Center honorees.
- Grammer also expressed strong support for Sylvester Stallone receiving a Kennedy Center honor.
- He reiterated his conservative views, emphasizing the importance of clear right and wrong, and commended Trump for being genuine in his statements.
Kelsey Grammer made a bold declaration about Donald Trump‘s legacy — and the Frasier star didn’t mince words with his blunt opinion.
On Saturday, December 6, Trump, 79, presented medals to the 2025 Kennedy Center honorees at the Oval Office. The recipients this year included Sylvester Stallone, Gloria Gaynor, Michael Crawford, George Strait, and the members of KISS.
A dinner followed the ceremony, and Grammer attended with his daughter, Faith Grammer. The actor, 70, spoke with Fox News Digital ahead of the dinner, weighing in on Trump in the process.
“I think he’s extraordinary,” Grammer said of the POTUS. “He’s one of the greatest presidents we’ve ever had. Maybe the greatest.”
The Cheers star added, “There are some things he still wants to get done, and I think that’s terrific, but there was a big hill to climb. And we were left with some very interesting things going on.”
Additionally, Grammer said it was “about time” Stallone was named a Kennedy Center honoree. He and Stallone worked together on The Expendables 3 and the indie film Reach Me, both in 2014.
“I was on the selection committee, so I knew about it,” he explained. “He’s a force of nature. Sylvester Stallone has captured our imagination in several different roles and performed them beautifully.”
In May, Grammer also opened up about his feelings on Trump during an interview with The Sunday Times.
“It’s great to have somebody who actually means what they say,” he said, tasking the reporter to “be kind about the political thing… Some people just don’t like it.”
Grammer spoke about his conservative political views as a whole, too.
“When I was a little boy I just thought, you know, there’s a right and a wrong,” he told the publication. “This gray area thing doesn’t have a lot of value… I get you can have feelings about certain things, and I want to respect everybody’s feelings. But, you know, you learn in AA that feelings are not facts. And that’s where I think we get confused a lot these days.”

I think Frasier might be needing an MRI stat.

Grammer is delusional.

Not The Boat Attacker Murdering Trump, Is He Serious❓‼️

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. And you were ok with Biden getting thousands of AMERICANS assaulted & killed with his policies?

I, and probably he, don't like it because of a couple of facts:
-Venezuela is not a drug-producing country. Mexico, Columbia, and China are.
-Those boats are incapable of any kind of distance, and they are far too small to carry significant quantities.
-Interdict, seize the vessel, occupants, and evidence, as international law requires and prove your case.
Frankly this just looks like murder in order to provoke Venezuela and escalate, ending in invasion and the eventual seizure of oil fields.

Poor Kelsey, any 70 year old who looks 90 shouldn't be screwing around with Karma

And Kelsey has the nerve to claim that he is a devout Christian to Jesus. Considering all that has been proven against Trump, does anyone with half a brain even think that Jesus would approve of Trump? Try explaining that to Jesus when you finally meet him, Kelsey Grammer. Interesting how your new show airs on the Paramount network. Are you sure you’re not just protecting your job? What if Jesus asks if you just sold your soul for money and fame? Doesn’t sound Christian to me at all!

I think the Congress should delete Trump name because it's illegally written there

Frump doesn't even remember what he said yesterday, much less MEAN what he says. He's a rudderless narcissist seeking attention and clout, and Grammer is a credulous dupe.

Poor Kelsey, somebody definitely blew his pilot light out !

Yes there is no gray area. If you cannot see where the evil really is by now, then you are far behind. It’s mostly the “can’t catch a break” people who still think Trump is this evil dictator thing they are programmed with.
