Megyn Kelly has had a complicated relationship with President Trump.
The two have feuded, but Kelly also campaigned for Trump in 2024.
But now Megyn Kelly was forced to make one startling admission about voting for Trump.
Kelly was among the conservatives who split with Trump over the decision to go to war with Iran.
In addition, Kelly had some other gripes with Trump.
Kelly admitted on her podcast that stories about how Trump earned over $1.4 billion from crypto deals or how Middle East entities paid $300 million to Trump’s businesses last year made her uncomfortable.
However, Kelly said she had no regrets whatsoever about voting for Trump because Trump came through on sealing the border and banning men from playing women’s sports, two issues Kelly cares passionately about.
“But having said all that, it’s a binary system. There’s no question Trump is reams better than that lunatic Kamala Harris would have been. The birthright citizenship, at least he tried. At least he tried. No one else tried. Trump did close the border. That counts for a lot. We’re not deporting everybody, but we got some. Again, overall it’s probably a fail on the deportations, but it’s a h*ll of a lot more than Biden tried to do,” Kelly stated.
Kelly went on to say that some of the disappointments suffered by Trump supporters, such as not following through on aspects of the MAHA agenda, were the result of the swamp’s maneuverings to thwart Trump.
“So you can’t put too much stock in any one politician is one of the lessons here. The system, the blob kind of moves them where it wants to move them and unless you get a truly, like, irreverent, don’t give an f candidate who cannot be bought — it’s not that Trump was bought, it’s just that you can’t win the presidency without being somewhat beholden to large interest groups and Trump is not ideological, which you would think is a bonus and in some way it is, but it also allows him to be like, yeah let’s get rid of [Dr. Marty Makary] at the FDA because he won’t approve flavored vapes, which teenage kids are not supposed to be having access to. It makes them want to smoke these vapes and gets them hooked on these vapes and MAHA moms across the country are against it — Make America Healthy Again — but he doesn’t care because he’s like, they paid a bunch of money to me, so I’m going to give the cigarette companies that make these vapes a break” Kelly added.
Kelly explained that the swamp insulates itself from change due to the amount of money candidates need to raise to win the Presidency.
Having to raise over a billion dollars from special interests means politicians owe donors and lobbyists favors.
Trump’s status as a billionaire who didn’t need anyone’s money represented one of his strongest appeals to Americans like Kelly.
“You need somebody who’s like independently wealthy and doesn’t give a flying f. Like, that’s who has to do it, but I have my own doubts about, would they let such a candidate win? Could he ever get past… Big Pharma and the military-industrial complex and AIPAC for that matter. You know, there are these huge constituencies that only let us think we’re in charge and it’s, you know, a downer,” Kelly concluded.
Trump’s Presidency has had its ups and downs like all presidencies.
But Kelly doesn’t regret her support for Trump at all, a feeling that tens of millions of Americans likely share.
