Kathie Lee Gifford Expresses Confidence in Trump’s Commitment to His Promises

Kathie Lee Gifford, the iconic talk show host, has maintained a long-standing friendship with President Donald Trump, spanning several decades. As Trump embarks on what many expect to be a pivotal second term, Gifford expresses unwavering faith in his ability to deliver on his promises to the American populace.

Gifford shared her thoughts in an exclusive interview, stating, “He is an ever-evolving human being, and this man will not rest until he has fulfilled every promise he has made to the American people. That I do know about Donald.” As Trump continues to navigate the complex landscape of the presidency, Gifford believes his intentions remain steadfast.

She added, “A lot of people are thinking he’s ruining America. I know Donald. This man does not need this, like a hole in the ear or a hole in his head. He just does not need this. He could be living any kind of life he wants. He’s earned it. That man built the skyline of New York, you know, he just did, and more. He’s just, I mean, he’s not a perfect man by any means, but he’s a different man now. He’s a different man than the man I met in 1981. He’s a different man than he was last year in Butler, Pennsylvania.”

Gifford elaborated on a significant moment in Trump’s life, describing how he feels the “Lord saved him from being killed” during an assassination attempt when a bullet narrowly grazed his ear. The former president himself stated during his inauguration speech, “I was saved by God to make America great again.” Gifford echoed those sentiments, revealing her deep understanding of Trump’s personal convictions.

Trump’s Resourcefulness Shines Through

Gifford reminisced about a historic accomplishment of Trump’s from many years ago when he took on the project to fix Central Park’s renowned Wollman ice skating rink. At the time, the project faced significant challenges as numerous individuals struggled to reach consensus on how to proceed.

She recalled, “Everybody was fighting about it. And back in 1981, nobody could do it. He said at the time, ‘Give it to me. I’ll fix it in this amount of time and under budget.’ And within weeks, it was up and running. That’s who Donald is. And I wish people would just let him be. Give him a chance.” This reflection illustrates Trump’s ability to tackle problems head-on and produce results, a quality that some believe is crucial for a leader.

Facing Adversity with Determination

Gifford also addressed the reality of threats against Trump, noting, “He’s already had two assassination attempts on his life.” She emphasized that this highlights how deeply Trump cares about America and its citizens. “He is proving how he cares about America and how he cares about people. He’s going to make mistakes. And you know, Elon Musk is going to make mistakes. We’re human. But their purpose is right. Too many people have made promises to the American people year after year without any intention of keeping them,” she remarked.

In a gripping recollection, Gifford shared a harrowing experience from over three decades ago when Trump intervened during a dangerous situation in her life. She described a chilling incident involving a man who had previously committed heinous crimes and appeared to be targeting her. Gifford noted that the FBI had become involved once they discovered the extent of the threat.

The FBI assured Gifford’s husband, Frank, that they were on top of the situation. They advised him to keep Kathie Lee’s schedule under wraps to prevent the suspect from learning her whereabouts.

Aiding in Moments of Crisis

In response to the looming threat, Frank reached out to Trump, who reassured him, saying, “Don’t you worry, Frank. I’ve got your girls. I’m not going to let anything happen to them.” Gifford later discovered that Trump arranged for a helicopter to transport her to an event, ensuring her safety during a time filled with uncertainty.

“Nobody ever told me until that day of the pageant, when I realized what was going on. I never wanted to live in fear of this kind of madness. ‘No, you guys will take care of me. I know you will, Donald will. I’m going to be fine,'” she said. This anecdote illustrates the protective nature that Trump exhibited, affirming Gifford’s belief in his character and intentions.

Reflections on Leadership and Trust

Gifford shared her hopes for figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who now leads the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. She offered a perspective on trust in leadership, acknowledging the disillusionment many Americans feel toward established authorities. “He’s not a doctor. He’s not a scientist, but he has been family to me. We’ve been let down by those we should have been able to trust, so I’ll put my faith in Bobby until he disappoints us,” she remarked.

Embracing a Natural Approach

The 71-year-old Gifford also discussed her approach to health and aging, focusing on maintaining a natural appearance. She believes individuals instinctively understand what their body needs and what it does not. By adhering to a Mediterranean diet and following natural methods, she aims to retain a youthful look without invasive procedures.

“I think we innately know what our body likes and what our body doesn’t like. And unless you’re celebrating something, you try to avoid what your body doesn’t like,” she explained. Her dedication to staying authentic while aging has allowed her to remain relatable to her audience, reflecting a growing trend towards natural beauty.

Setting the Record Straight

Throughout her career, Gifford has faced claims regarding cosmetic surgery. However, she has consistently denied having undergone any surgical procedures, including facelifts. “I’ve never had a facelift,” she asserted, stating that she seeks alternative treatments such as stem cells and lasers while avoiding surgery. “You can come look; I’ll show you my scars, and I don’t have any. I’m not putting down people that do, but I just don’t like them. I want to look as good as I can look at whatever age I eventually end up,” she shared.

In addressing misconceptions, Gifford recounted an incident involving Rosie O’Donnell, who once accused her of having cosmetic enhancements. Gifford approached the situation with confidence, inviting O’Donnell to inspect her for any surgical scars.

“There’s just not. And not that anybody that does it is wrong. That’s their choice. It’s not mine. So, I’m going to take it as a compliment that I think I look good,” Gifford concluded.

Looking Ahead

As Gifford continues to navigate her career and personal life, her experiences with Trump and the insights she has shared provide a unique perspective on loyalty, trust, and the human capacity for resilience. Through her reflections, she emphasizes the importance of authentic leadership and staying true to oneself, creating a narrative that resonates with many.
