Dennis Quaid not only plays former presidents, he also campaigns for them… stepping up to the microphone during a donald trump rally in SoCal’s Coachella Valley and declaring it’s time to “choose a side.”
Fresh off his starring role in “Reagan” — which Dennis called his favorite prez of the 20th century — the actor sang Trump’s praises before the candidate took the stage.
Wearing a MAGA hat, Quaid asked the crowd: “Are we a nation that defends the Constitution or TikTok?” He also compared Trump to Ronald Reagansaying the nation is facing some of the same problems it faced during the 1980 election.
Dennis attended the rally with his brother Randy Quaidwho also openly supports Trump, and called Donald… his “favorite president of the 21st century.”
The outdoor rally wasn’t far from the site of the world-famous Coachella music festival — and while you probably think of that event as a liberal mecca, it’s held in Riverside County, California…a staunchly conservative voting area.
Quaid’s speech is noteworthy because Hollywood actors rarely show any public support for Trump. Yes, most are Democrats, but those who aren’t said they feared backlash from studios and casting directors.
In the final stretch before Election Day, Dennis is clearly rejecting that idea.
