'I think in hindsight he probably will,' Kelsey Grammer said when asked if Donald Trump would go down as one of America's best leaders.
Actor Kelsey Grammer recently sparked massive backlash after reiterating his fierce support for President Donald Trump, claiming the current president will likely be remembered in hindsight as one of America's "best presidents." The Frasier star made the comments during an interview broadcast on the British radio station LBC on September 7.
Surveys of historians and political scientists frequently rank Trump near the bottom of U.S. presidents.
When asked by host Nick Ferrari whether Trump would go down in history as one of America's best leaders, Grammer replied, "I think in hindsight he probably will."
Kelsey Grammer defended Donald Trump during a recent interview.
He defended his position by arguing that "nobody really stood up for America in quite some time in the presidency," adding that he believes Trump "loves America."
"He says if somebody comes at him, if they come at him with hate, which they really have done, he just sends it right back at them," Grammer said. "And I think that throws them off."
Grammer previously called Trump "extraordinary" and "maybe the greatest" president during an interview with Fox News Digital.
Kelysey Grammer frequently faces backlash from critics for his praise of Donald Trump.
He noted that Trump had a "big hill to climb" coming back into office but is successfully pushing through his second-term goals.
Grammer's statements quickly went viral, drawing sharp criticism from detractors across social media platforms.
Many fans expressed severe disappointment, with one widely shared sentiment calling Grammer a "fantastic actor and an idiot otherwise" who fails to provide specifics.
Critics Clap Back at Kelsey Grammer Over Donald Trump Praise
Critics heavily slammed Grammer's assessment of Trump "standing up for America," pointing instead to mass casualties from a war of choice in Iran, rising inflation, and severe immigration crackdowns.
Grammer was previously blasted for his hardcore far-right views, including his belief that the U.S. education system is "deliberately" failing students by teaching them about America's shortcomings, calling such criticism "basically child abuse" and part of a "conspiracy."
"Waging a war of choice in Iran, causing mass casualties, and spiking inflation isn't 'standing up for America,' said one critic, who added that "history won't remember this as greatness, but as a disaster."
Kelsey Grammer Blamed Political Stance on Career Setbacks
Some social media users vowed to boycott Kelsey Grammer's projects because of his views.
Multiple social media users said they would no longer watch or support the Paramount+ Frasier reboot or his other creative works because of his MAGA alignment.
Grammer, a long-time Republican, has previously acknowledged that holding conservative views is considered "the worst thing you can be" in Hollywood and has blamed his political stance for various career and awards setbacks.
While Grammer claims his conservatism makes him a victim of industry blacklisting, critics counter that the pushback is a natural consequence of promoting divisive politics while trying to sell mainstream entertainment.
This friction became explicit during a BBC Radio interview, where Paramount+ PR representatives abruptly shut down the broadcast the moment Grammer affirmed his MAGA support, highlighting how toxic corporate sponsors deem his political views.

The only reason I find this even mildly noteworthy is because Kelsey Grammar is possibly Trumps most well known public supporter among celebrities, outside of Stallone and Kanye West maybe.
It bums me because Frazier is one of my favorite sitcoms.
I'm literally surprised he’s not in Trump’s cabinet.
Yet...
trmp could put him in charge of mental health!
Just because he played a brilliant psychiatrist on TV doesn't mean he has the brains to actually stand upright
They just misunderstood his words, he does spell grammer wrong, plus in school he lost the spelling C where i took this, me neither
He also does "woke" versions of the History of the US. in a series on TV.
It just doesn't add up.
... and here I thought he'd been typecast as a pompous dumbass that is of touch with reality.
Kelsey has the right to his opinion. Like any other celebrity with an opinion I really don't put much stock in it or even care.
... because he's a maga POS, while trump's detractors in hollywood get threats from the dementia poster boy now in the oval office.
No, because he is American.[✘]
Absolutely. Everyone has a right to be a fucking idiot if they want.
Personally, I like Grammer as an actor, been watching him since Cheers and one of my favorite films is "Down Periscope" which I will continue to watch despite his complete lack of sanity when it comes to politics and good judgement. I think it's supremely stupid to just throw out years, decades even of great work, all because you dislike the artists politics. People who do that kind of thing are whiny little fuck nuggets caught up in the crowd of brainless villagers carrying torches that are easily manipulated.
Also, I certainly won't be adopting his personal points of view simply because I enjoy his work. That too would be incredibly moronic and is only something those with zero brains do, they glob on to others' opinions because they're too fucking stupid or insecure to form their own.

exactly. I learned years ago that verbally mixing politics and religion into your professional life is career suicide ...
And look how many try to push their opinion as fact.
Indeed, we see them here almost every day performing mental contortions on behalf of their dear Leader Donald. It's almost sad to watch, like when someone points out to them the fact that the guy they voted for is a convicted felon, they express their opinion about some conspiracy theory bullshit reason why their opinion should be accepted over the actual facts. And that's just one of dozens of instances. I mean, it's gotten embarrassing for anyone with more than half a brain to even watch. But no doubt those conservatives deeply invested in Trump are too desperate and busy trying to sell Trump brand like a Fortune High-Tech Marketing FHTM sales representative realizing it's all been a scam but can't openly admit it for fear of losing everything and having to admit they were gullible.
funny, I haven't seen some of them around here for quite awhile ...

100% agree.
I have never once, in well over half a century of going to the movies and watching tv, sat down in a theatre or started watching a show and thought to myself "I wonder what the actor playing the protagonist thinks about politics".
With that said, I have listened to some in the entertainment business express their opinions throughout the years and enjoyed their points of view and/or agreed with them (or disagreed). But that can be said of anyone I've listened to express their opinions where I enjoyed their point of view and/or agreed with them, from college professors, coworkers, friends, family.
So, the 'celebrity' part of it is really the only difference, and if you don't give a fuck about their celebrity, you're not just listening and agreeing because it's Taylor Swift or something, then I see nothing wrong with agreeing and/or caring about celebrity causes if I share them already.
For example, Jon Stewart is a minor celebrity, Mtv, Half Baked, Daily Show, and he expressed his opinion a lot through the years and frankly I've found that most of the time I agree with him. And when he stood up and started making noise and using his celebrity for the first responders on 9/11 suffering crazy health outcomes but were getting shafted by the bureaucracy, I agreed with him and I thank him for his work because sometimes issues like that deserve as much visibility as you can give them, and that is the one thing celebrities have without even trying.
The people who whine about celebrities sharing their opinion or giving issues visibility do it because they 'take issue' with the issues expressed. So, if some conservative doesn't like what the celebrity said, they question why celebrities should be opening their mouths at all. Of course, when it's a celebrity that expresses an opinion they agree with, all of a sudden, they have no problem with celebrities expressing those opinions and start talking about how everyone has the right to express themselves.
I do think it's rather funny how conservatives seem to be almost hoping for a progressive to come out and say Grammer shouldn't be expressing his opinions. But instead, because they're not all hypocrites like their counterparts, the unanimous response seems to be "100% agree" that Grammer is entitled to his opinion.
What it comes down to is. Did you vote for Reagan because he was a movie star or because he was well qualified for the job, had good ideas and was competent in leadership roles?
Same thing today, MAGA needs to ask themselves, do they support Trump just because Kelsey Grammer does? Or because they took some meth laced with fentanyl and the raccoon on the trash can outside their doublewide told them to.
I don’t see anyone suggesting otherwise. Why rush to defend him against an attack not being made?
I bet you agree with it, though.

They meant "beast".
