Dennis Quaid recently rallied on behalf of Donald Trump, as verified by HollywoodUnlocked.com. Quaid stressed that Americans must decide whether to uphold the Constitution or be swayed by social media trends. “God bless you. God bless America. I’m here today to tell you that it’s time to pick a side,” Quaid said. “Are we going to be a nation that stands for the Constitution? Or for TikTok? Are we going to be a nation of law and order? Or wide open borders? Which is it? Because it’s time to pick a side,” Quaid pressed. Drawing parallels between the current political climate and the issues faced during Ronald Reagan’s presidency, Quaid praised Trump as his favorite president of the 21st century. “It’s amazing how the issues of the 1980 election are very similar to what they are today,” he said, recalling the record high inflation back then, as well as the Iran hostages. “We were a nation in decline. That’s what they told us. Ronald Reagan came along and said, no, we’re not a nation in decline. We’re going there. And we followed him,” Quaid said with his finger pointing toward the sky. “The same with Trump, with President Trump. My favorite president of the 21st century.” Quaid noted past economic strengths, such as energy independence and low inflation during Trump’s administration, and contrasted them with the current situation. “I’m gonna ask you a question that Reagan asked America back then, and I think it’s the question that got him elected. Are you better off than you were four years ago?” Quaid said. “Four years ago, under President Trump, we had energy,” Quaid said. “We were an energy independent nation. We had cheap gas. We were actually exporting oil to our allies and our friends. Today, Putin is making money hand over fist, selling oil that he uses to pay for his Soviet-style comeback war that he has with Ukraine, and while we’re shutting down our pipelines over here and capping our wells, and begging Saudi Arabia and Venezuela to ‘pretty please, will you please sell us some oil? We’re kind of short right now.'”
“Iran was bankrupt,” Quaid said. “They weren’t able to give weapons to Hamas and Hezbollah. And look at where we are today. We basically funded that war. Four years ago, we had a secure border. We were on our way to even doing more and having a wall. That’s what a nation is. It has a wall.… But I guess it’s like voter I.D. you don’t need it in this country for some reason.”
He recounted a personal story about his housekeeper, Josie, who was undocumented but became a citizen after Trump took office.
“I told her, I said, ‘Josie, no, you’re not [going to be deported]. That’s not what he’s talking about. He wants people to come here the right way, I’m going to become your sponsor,'” Quaid recalled telling Josie of Trump. “And so we started it. Right now she has her green card today, and she so wants to get her citizenship before so she can vote for Donald Trump.” Quaid concluded by urging the audience to make their political choice clear, saying, “It’s time to pick a side.”
