In a recent interview on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” actor Dennis Quaid expressed his intention to vote for Donald Trump in the next election, citing a belief that the former president is working for the American people. Quaid stated that he initially was not going to vote for Trump until he felt there was a weaponization of the justice system and a challenge to the Constitution that concerned him as an American. Quaid dismissed the ongoing hush money trial in New York as irrelevant to Trump’s electoral chances and questioned the validity of the charges against him, stating that Trump has been extensively investigated without any significant findings of wrongdoing.
Despite acknowledging that some people may view Trump negatively, Quaid described him as “my asshole” and expressed admiration for Trump’s actions while in office. Quaid praised Trump for his handling of foreign policy issues, such as his interactions with North Korea and his efforts to combat ISIS. He commended Trump for standing up to countries like China and perceived this as a quality of leadership that he believes is lacking in other politicians. Quaid contrasted Trump’s decisive actions with what he perceived as President Joe Biden’s incompetence and tendency to say things solely to secure votes.
The ongoing legal challenges facing Trump include a criminal trial involving allegations of making payments to cover up an extramarital affair, as well as other charges related to falsifying business records. The former president faces the possibility of significant prison time if found guilty of these charges. In addition to these legal issues, Trump has also been accused of conspiring to hide classified documents, interfering in presidential elections, and attempting to overturn the 2020 election results, leading to him becoming the first U.S. president to be formally charged with federal crimes in 2023.
Quaid described Trump as a “true and sincere” man, further emphasizing his support for the former president. He expressed disappointment in Biden’s performance as president, particularly pointing out moments where he felt Biden’s statements were inappropriate or misguided. Quaid’s endorsement of Trump for the next election highlights a growing divide in public opinion over the former president’s legacy and future political prospects. The actor’s comments have sparked discussions about the ongoing influence of Trump in American politics and the potential impact of his legal challenges on his ability to run for office again.
