During an interview with Piers Morgan, Actor Dennis Quaid revealed that he was planning on voting for Donald Trump in November, and cited the "weaponization of the justice system" against him as the main reason why. This comes as many pundits debate whether or not the optics of the so-called "hush money" witch hunt trial against Trump will ultimately help or harm him in November.
"I think I’m gonna vote for him in the next election. 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," he told Piers. "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.
Quaid admitted that he cringed at some of Trump’s past rhetoric, but only cared about his record; "As president, the only thing I liked about Trump was everything he did… What he did with Korea, with Rocket Baby, the way he defeated ISIS in three weeks. You know, people don't even remember it happened so fast. How he stood up for us overseas. The way he responded to China. He stands up to people and that's what makes him a leader. Rather than, what I kind of compare it to, what was going on in Jimmy Carter's administration, where we're trying to be everybody's friend and pal," he said. "And there's some evil people and bad actors in this world and so, you know, people might call [Trump] an a--hole but he's my a--hole," Quaid said.
