Kelsey Grammer sounded curt this morning when he brusquely told a BBC Today program interviewer that he still supports Donald Trump but, according to his interviewer, this curtness doesn’t tell the full story.

Grammer’s interviewer Justin Webb said the Frasier star was “perfectly happy” to go on talking about his support for the former POTUS, “the Paramount+ PR team, less so.”

Grammer has previously expressed support for Trump – a relatively rare position for a TV and movie star to take – and he also used his BBC interview to back Roseanne Barr, another self-confessed Trump supporter.

    His sister was murdered in the most conservative town in Colorado. Maybe conservativism doesn’t work Mr. Grammer?

      To them conservatism can never fail. It can only be failed, because you didn’t conservative hard enough. There is no introspection, no critical thinking. Only doubling down. Because otherwise all the suffering would have been for naught.

        I know you’re joking, but at the same time I know you’re really not.

        Republicans do not believe that they do not make mistakes, they merely believe that admitting a mistake would in itself be a mistake

          But they never take it to the next logical step I’ve noticed. They do dumb things all the time, but then what they don’t seem to do is preemptively work out if the thing that they’re going to do is dumb or not, and then if it is dumb not do it. It’s like they don’t have a strategist.

          I think it’s a problem with the right wing groups in general. They’re so completely blinded by self-belief that reality doesn’t get a look in.

          Look at Trump right now, he cannot possibly think things are going well for him, but there he goes carrying on.

            I’m just baffled that his defense team seems to have the strategy of directly antagonizing law enforcement. In no world does,

            " go ahead, take me to jail, you’re too much of a pussy, I bet you won’t do it."

            Ever actually play out, it’s either amazing 7D chess, or the more realistic option. He legitimately thinks he is invincible and nothing he ever does will have any consequences
