Dennis Quaid says Hollywood has gone too far left and thinks Trump is misjudged.
He spoke on Pastor Greg Laurie’s podcast, pointing out how some actors now label anyone who is a “traditional Democrat” as extremist.
Quaid noted that the term “Nazi” has been used to describe people who are not on the far right, showing how language is being stretched.
He calls himself a “common‑sense independent” but admits he leans conservative in his thinking.
The actor added that he values practical solutions over partisan slogans.
During the interview, Laurie mentioned former President Trump.
Quaid described him as personable, funny, and approachable—traits he says are missing from Hollywood’s depiction of the former leader.
He argued that Trump’s genuine nature earned him votes, and that his energy is unique in politics.
Quaid recalled spending a weekend at the White House during the Clinton era, giving him firsthand experience of presidential life.
The star hopes America will experience a “spiritual revolution” that bridges party divides.
He believes such unity could bring conservatives and liberals together for the nation’s benefit.
