Actor Dennis Quaid says he will vote for Donald Trump in November and blames Joe Biden’s “weaponization of the justice system” for tilting him to the right.
Quaid, a two-time Golden Globe nominee, is currently promoting a biopic about Ronald Reagan that will be released in late August.
While Quaid calls Reagan his “favorite president,” he thinks there are a lot of things to like about Trump, too.
“I think I’m going to vote for him in the next election,” Quaid, who says he has voted for candidates from both parties, told Piers Morgan. “It just makes sense.”
“I was willing not to vote for Trump, until what I saw was more than politics. I see a weaponization of our justice system and a challenge to our Constitution,” he said, referring to the Department’s ongoing legal investigations into the former president. of Justice during the Biden administration.
Actor Dennis Quaid says he will vote for Donald Trump in November and blames Joe Biden for “weaponizing the justice system” by tilting it to the right.
The actor, who once played Bill Clinton in the HBO movie The Special Relationship, said he doesn’t necessarily think Trump is a perfect guy, but that he represents him.
“There are some evil people and bad actors in this world and, you know, people may call him an idiot, but he’s my idiot.”
Quaid said that while some of the moments of Trump’s presidency were too much for him, ultimately, “As president… the only thing I liked about Trump was everything he did.”
“I’ve voted both ways throughout my life, swinging like a pendulum toward what the country needed at the time, and I think this could be an opportunity for the country to come together again.”
He specifically cited foreign policy, with Trump’s actions against ‘baby rocket’ Kim Jong Un in North Korea, the defeat of ISIS and his response to China.
‘He stands up to people and that’s what makes him a leader. Instead of what I compare to what was happening in the Jimmy Carter administration, where we were trying to be friends and partners with everyone,” he said.
Quaid even helped the Trump administration during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, arranging an interview with Dr. Anthony Fauci.
The actor, who once played Bill Clinton in the HBO movie The Special Relationship, was blunt in saying that he doesn’t necessarily think Trump is a perfect guy, but that he represents him.
When it comes to the current president, Quaid doesn’t necessarily think Joe Biden is a bad man but not entirely in control.
In April 2020, he praised Trump’s handling of the pandemic.
‘Well, to tell you the truth, I think the president is handling it in a good way.
“We see him on TV every day, he is involved and the travel ban from the beginning was a great idea, which he did despite protests about it.”
The actor continued: “I think Trump, no matter what you think of him, is doing a good job of trying to give these states – and all the American people – what they need, and also trying to keep our economy together and be prepared.” for when this is all over I don’t want to get into petty discussions about it.

‘I don’t feel like he’s in charge, I don’t feel like he’s there… I feel like he says things to get votes, not that he really believes them. And now I’m really going to get a backlash, but that’s how I feel,” he said.
On the other hand, Quaid says Trump strongly supports those he works for in the United States.
‘I’ll tell you one thing that’s true about him: I really feel like he’s working for the American people. That’s what it’s all about, and I think that’s true and sincere,” Quaid said.
Returning to the justice system, consider that the investigations into Trump have come to nothing.

“Trump is the most investigated person, probably in the history of the world, and they really haven’t been able to track him down at all,” he added.
Ultimately, Quaid wants America to come together as a country regardless of who wins.
“It doesn’t have to be the end of the world, whoever is elected,” he said.
