Dennis Quaid argued during a recent television interview that, rather than politics, it was the “weaponization of the justice system” and his policy record that ultimately convinced him to vote for former president Trump.
“People might call him an a–hole, but he’s my a–hole,” the Hollywood actor declared.
Quaid has been in Hollywood hits like “Traffic” (2000), “Dragonheart” (1996), and portrays President Ronald Reagan in the 2024 biopic, “Reagan,” which will premiere in August.
“I think I’m gonna vote for him in the next election,” the actor told host Piers Morgan of “Piers Morgan Uncensored” on Tuesday. “It just makes sense. I was ready not to vote for Trump, until what I saw is, more than politics, I see a weaponization of our justice system and a challenge to our Constitution.”
“Trump is the most investigated person, probably in the history of the world, and they haven’t been able to really get him on anything,” he added.
When asked by Morgan whether one has to like Trump to vote for him, Quaid replied that he cringed at some of Trump’s past rhetoric, “But as president… the only thing I liked about Trump was everything he did.”
