Megyn Kelly didn’t hold back when it came to President Donald Trump‘s personal life during the Wednesday, April 22, episode of The Megyn Kelly Show.
During a wide-ranging conversation with actor and comedian Russell Brand, 50, Kelly, 55, offered a blunt assessment of the 47th president. “He’s not a moral man. He’s obviously not the greatest husband in the world,” Kelly said, adding that Trump, 79, is “extremely petty and thin skinned.”
The president has been married three times. He wed his first wife, the late Ivana Trump, in 1977, and the pair had three children — Donald Jr., 48, Ivanka, 44, and Eric, 42— before divorcing in 1992 amid his highly publicized affair with actress Marla Maples, per People.

Trump married Maples in 1993, two months after the birth of their daughter Tiffany, 32, but that union also ended in divorce by 1999. He married his current wife, first lady Melania Trump, 55, in 2005. The couple shares one son, Barron, 20.
Kelly’s remarks come as she’s become increasingly critical of the president in recent weeks, particularly over his handling of the Iran conflict and what she sees as his alienation of dedicated supporters.
“There’s no loyalty in return ever from Trump. Ever,” Kelly said, arguing that anyone with a “principal disagreement” gets treated as an enemy.

Despite her sharp words, Kelly made it clear she hasn’t given up on the president entirely.
“There’s still, in my view, a lot to like about Trump,” she acknowledged, but said his “darker demons” are front and center right now, comparing him to “a cornered animal” as his approval ratings on Iran have dropped to around 30 percent.
Kelly said she prays nightly that Trump will “get back on track” and reconnect with the agenda his supporters elected him to enact, rather than being driven by what she called a “money-driven agenda.”
