Kelsey Grammer Calls Trump ‘Maybe the Greatest’ President
UPDATE: Kelsey Grammer has hailed President Donald Trump as “maybe the greatest” president in a recent interview, igniting a wave of commentary across social media. The 70-year-old actor, known for his iconic role in “Frasier,” made the remarks on December 6, 2025, just before the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors dinner in Washington D.C.
“I think he’s extraordinary,” Grammer stated in his interview with Fox News Digital. “He’s one of the greatest presidents we’ve ever had. Maybe the greatest. There are some things he still wants to get done, and I think that’s terrific, but there was a big hill to climb.” This bold endorsement comes as Trump prepares for the upcoming election, adding urgency to the discussion surrounding his legacy and future plans.
Grammer, an outspoken Republican, has consistently voiced his support for Trump. Earlier this year, he told The Times that it’s refreshing to have a president who “actually means what they say.” In a May 2025 interview with PBS, he emphasized that Trump’s focus is “really on the common man,” a sentiment he believes resonates with the modern Republican Party.
The actor’s comments are drawing significant attention, especially in a Hollywood landscape often perceived as predominantly liberal. In a 2012 interview with ABC News, Grammer expressed concern that his political stance might be detrimental to his career, noting that being an “openly Republican guy” can be challenging in the entertainment industry.
“Every time you tell me the way to think, I’m bound to think the other way,” he remarked, highlighting his rebellious spirit in a creative field often resistant to conservative viewpoints.
His remarks come on the heels of a controversial moment during a BBC Radio 4 interview earlier this year, where host Justin Webb claimed that Grammer was cut short by Paramount+ representatives after discussing Trump. “Kelsey Grammer himself was perfectly happy to go on talking about it,” Webb said, underscoring the tensions between celebrity politics and corporate interests.
Grammer is not alone in his support for Trump; other stars like Zachary Levi and Jon Voight have also voiced their backing. Levi, who endorsed Trump during the 2024 election, noted that some colleagues have chosen not to work with him due to his political beliefs. “My team has let me know,” he said, revealing the impact of political affiliations on professional relationships in Hollywood.
Looking ahead, Kelsey Grammer, who welcomed his eighth child in October, is set to star in the highly anticipated film “Avengers: Doomsday,” scheduled for release in December 2026. He will reprise his role as Beast from the “X-Men” franchise, further solidifying his presence in the entertainment industry.
As discussions surrounding Trump’s presidency continue to evolve, Grammer’s comments serve as a rallying cry for supporters and a flashpoint for critics. The urgency of this discourse reflects the broader implications for celebrity influence on political narratives as the election draws near.
