Once Donald Trump was in office, Kelsey Grammer was asked to evaluate the then-president’s performance. “I think he’s doing what he said he was going to do,” the “Boss” actor said on BBC’s “Desert Island Discs” in 2017. “He’s a bit of a loudmouth, and he does shake things up,” Grammer added while admitting that Trump had disrupted the political landscape the politician had planned. While he has supported the former “Apprentice” host, Grammer agreed Trump had been prone to misbehaving. “In terms of policy I don’t have a lot of problems with what he’s doing, ah, he’s a bit of a, uh brat. I guess you could say,” he said about Trump on Radio 4’s “Today” in February 2019 (via The Independent). Grammer discussed why people who leaned on “the more liberal side” were upset by Trump’s presidency. “They’re used to being the brats,” he added. That interview did not go unnoticed by fans, and Grammer did catch some flack online.

Later that year, Grammer was asked if he believed his vocal support of Trump had affected his acting career. “I’m not aware of taking a hit for [supporting Trump], but now, certainly passions run high, and certainly he has touched on an extraordinarily passionate response,” he told PBS in May 2019. In that same interview, Grammer described the politicians in Washington over “the last 50, 60 years” as “the same bunch of clowns.” Grammer had issues with politicians but supported the Republican party before Trump showed up.
