Ace Frehley, one of the long-standing members of the iconic rock quartet KISS, has come out in support of US President Donald Trump in a recent interview.

In Frehley's own words: "I don’t think politics and rock & roll mix — in my opinion, and I try to stay away from that as much as I can. I mean, once in a while, I'll make a crack. I will say I'm a Trump supporter. All the politicians have had skeletons in the closet. But I think Trump is the strongest leader that we've got on the table."

According to Rolling Stone, Frehley has never or almost never discussed politics in public before. This makes his revelation all the more surprising, given the current strong anti-Trump bias in the entertainment industry.

Frehley's ex-bandmates have gone on the record as well on their views on the controversial president.

Gene Simmons has publicly taken a very neutral stance on the president, saying, "The only thing I can say is that, next election cycle, if people like him he'll be voted back in, and if people don't want him, he's not going to be voted back in. It's so simple. Unless he breaks the law and gets impeached, this is what it is."

Paul Stanley, on the other hand, has been very vocal in his disapproval of the job the president has been doing. "Regardless of who you support, it is incendiary and abhorrent for any candidate to say 'If I lose, the election is rigged. It's an insult to those who have fought for the free, safe elections we have and dangerously implies that citizens who don’t share your views are the enemy," said Stanley in an interview with Guitar World.

Frehley's relationship with the rest of the band has always been strained, and he hasn't been an official member of KISS since 2002, although he has made numerous cameo appearances.
