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.”
