Hollywood star Kelsey Grammer, known to millions as America’s favorite TV psychiatrist, is making headlines again — this time for praising President Donald Trump in a way that has conservatives across the country cheering. Grammer didn’t mince words, praising Trump as one of America’s finest presidents — perhaps the very best.
His comments came just hours after President Trump honored the 2025 Kennedy Center recipients in a high-profile Oval Office ceremony that showcased patriotism, American culture, and leadership.
⭐ Grammer: Trump Is “Extraordinary” and Still Fighting for America
Speaking with Fox News Digital, Grammer—joined by his daughter Faith—said what many Americans feel but Hollywood rarely admits:
“I believe he’s remarkable — truly one of the finest presidents this country has ever seen, perhaps even the very best.”
Grammer applauded Trump’s determination to rebuild the country after years of chaos, noting that the president climbed “a big hill” and still has important goals he’s pushing to complete.
For many conservative viewers, Grammer’s praise is a refreshing break from the entertainment industry’s usual hostility toward Trump.
⭐ Sylvester Stallone Finally Gets His Moment — Grammer Says “About Time”
This year’s Kennedy Center honorees include an all-American lineup: Sylvester Stallone, Gloria Gaynor, George Strait, Michael Crawford, and the members of KISS.
Grammer, who served on the selection committee, said he was “over the moon” to see Stallone finally recognized.
“Stallone is a force of nature,” Grammer said. “He has captured America’s imagination for decades. It’s about time he was honored.”
For a conservative audience that loves patriotic, tough-minded icons, this year’s selections hit all the right notes.
⭐ George Strait: “A Great Honor”
Country music legend George Strait shared his appreciation on the red carpet, saying the recognition is “a great honor.” Strait continues to be one of the most respected figures in American music, especially among older, traditional, patriotic audiences.
⭐ Trump: Honorees Represent the Best of American Culture
During the Oval Office ceremony, President Trump described the recipients as:
“Incredible people” who represent “the very best in American arts and culture.”
Trump emphasized that this group’s accomplishments have uplifted and unified millions of Americans — something much-needed in today’s divided political climate.
He called the 2025 class “one of the most accomplished ever assembled,” highlighting how these figures shaped multiple generations.
⭐ A New Trump-Era Medal Design Unveiled
This year also marked the debut of a redesigned Kennedy Center Honors medal, donated by Tiffany & Co.
The new gold medallion features the Kennedy Center’s iconic imagery on one side and the honoree’s name and date on the other. The medal now hangs from a navy-blue ribbon, replacing the decades-old large rainbow ribbon created in 1978.
The updated design reflects a cleaner, more elegant, more traditional American style — something many observers credited to Trump’s influence and attention to detail.
