Dennis Quaid is the latest Hollywood star to throw support behind Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Over the weekend, the 70-year-old Parent Trap alum took the stage at a rally for the former president over the weekend in California’s Coachella Valley.
While giving a speech there, he urged voters to “pick a side” and support his “favorite president of the 21st century.”

“God bless you. God bless America. I’m here today to tell you that it’s time to pick a side,” he said during the speech, via Fox News. “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.”
Dennis compared Donald to former president Ronald Reagan, noting that they both came at a time when the United States was described as “a nation in decline.”
“Four years ago, under President Trump, we had energy,” he opined. “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.’”
He continued, making other allegations, including that we “basically funded” the war in the Middle East and that “Iran was bankrupt” when Donald left office.
