Dennis Quaid says he’s voting for Donald Trump in next US election

Dennis Quaid has revealed he will vote for Donald Trump in the upcoming United States presidential election, which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 5 November.

Trump served as the 45th US president from 2017 to 2021. In 2020, Quaid was rumoured to have been paid to feature in a $300m (£233m) pro-Trump coronavirus ad campaign, which he denied.

The actor, 70, claimed Trump, who is on trial in Manhattan for allegedly corruptly influencing the 2016 presidential election, deserved a second incumbency because he is “sincere”.

Speaking to Piers Morgan on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Quaid claimed Trump’s hush money trial has been unconstitutional and is “a weaponisation of our justice system”.

The actor is set to star as the 40th US president Ronald Reagan in an upcoming biopic directed by Sean McNamara. He has previously also played Bill Clinton in HBO movie The Special Relationship.

“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 claimed.

Prosecutors have said Trump attempted to “hoodwink” American voters in the build up to the 2016 election using a “catch and kill” scheme to buy up stories about his alleged sex scandals and keep politically crushing stories away from the public.

The former president is accused of directing his then-attorney Michael Cohen to pay adult film star Stormy Daniels $130,000 just weeks before Election Day to buy her silence about her story about having sex with Trump 10 years earlier.

Trump is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide reimbursing his lawyer for paying off Daniels. He has pleaded not guilty and denied ever having sex with Daniels.
