Kelsey Grammer<\/a> isn’t holding back his thoughts on how Donald Trump<\/a> is doing in the White House so far.<\/p>\n

While speaking to reporters ahead of the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors ceremony<\/a> over the weekend, the Frasier<\/a> star gave his stamp of approval on the president’s second term, even going so far as to call Trump “one of the greatest” presidents the U.S. has ever had.<\/p>\n

“I think he’s extraordinary. He’s one of the greatest presidents we’ve ever had,” Grammer, 70, told Fox News Digital<\/a>on Saturday, Dec. 6. “Maybe the greatest.”<\/p>\n

He continued to sing the president’s praises by adding, “There are some things he still wants to get done, and I think that’s terrific, but there was a big hill to climb.”<\/p>\n

“And we were left with some very interesting things going on,” added Grammer, who attended Saturday’s reception\u2014as well as the official ceremony on Sunday\u2014alongside his daughter Faith.<\/p>\n

In a separate conversation on Saturday with journalist Nicholas Ballasy, Grammer once again opened up about his political beliefs, claiming that Trump has been “kicking ass” since re-entering the White House in January<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Grammer, known for playing Dr. Frasier Crane on the hit NBC<\/a>sitcom<\/a>Cheers and its spin-off Frasier, also insisted that the economy under Trump’s administration is “actually going really well.”<\/p>\n

“We’ll see what happens in the next year or so,” he added in the video, which Ballasy uploaded to TikTok.<\/p>\n

Fans on social media have had mixed reactions to Grammer’s strong political statements, with some users on TikTok<\/a> praising him for speaking out and “being honest” about his support for Trump.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, others insisted they wouldn’t be watching Frasier and Grammer’s other shows anymore after learning about the actor’s political affiliations.<\/p>\n

“just started binge watching [Frasier] \ud83d\ude2d that\u2019s done now,” one TikTok commenter claimed.<\/p>\n
