Actor Dennis Quaid made headlines on Tuesday when he announced his support for former president Donald Trump in the upcoming November elections. The surprising revelation came during an appearance on Piers Morgan’s show Uncensored, leaving the host startled.
Quaid, known for his roles in films like The Parent Trap and The Rookie, admitted that he had previously voted for the Republican Party in both the 2016 and 2020 elections. Despite sometimes disagreeing with Trump’s statements, Quaid stated that he admired the way the former president conducted himself during his administration.
The actor boldly declared, “As president, the only thing I liked about Trump was everything he did.” He also expressed his readiness to face any criticism that may come from his public endorsement of Trump, stating that it “just seems to make sense” to him.
During the interview with Morgan, Quaid discussed Trump’s ongoing legal battles, including the hush money case involving adult film star Stormy Daniels. The actor questioned the validity of the accusations against Trump, asking, “What is the crime? I still can’t figure it out.”
Despite the controversies surrounding Trump, Quaid praised the former president for his achievements, including his handling of international relations and the economy. With Trump leading in national polls against incumbent President Joe Biden, Quaid’s endorsement adds another layer of intrigue to the upcoming elections. Voters have expressed dissatisfaction with Biden’s handling of inflation, leading to increased confidence in Trump’s ability to manage the economy.
As the election season heats up, Quaid’s public support for Trump is sure to spark further debate and discussion among voters and political analysts alike.
