Lee Greenwood praised Donald Trump as one of “the best presidents we’ve ever had” during a February 16, 2026 appearance on the Newsmax program Ed Henry:
The Big Take. Greenwood said Trump “has the gumption to make change” and highlighted the construction of a new White House ballroom, claiming it “cost the taxpayers nothing.” He described the addition as a long-overdue improvement and said it would be “a presentation we’re going to be proud of.” The remarks come as Trump remains a dominant figure in Republican politics and prepares for events connected to the nation’s 250th anniversary. Greenwood also referenced his 1983 hit God Bless the USA and his related “God Bless the USA Bible” project. Reaction online was mixed, with supporters applauding Greenwood’s comments and critics disputing his assessment.
