Dennis Quaid Defends Trump Support, Accuses Hollywood of a Double Standard

His Air Force One visit followed by comments on Iran drew fresh scrutiny from peers and online critics.

Overview

  • In new interviews, Quaid says Hollywood treats expressions of support for President Donald Trump differently from criticism of him.
  • The actor recently flew on Air Force One, calling the experience "fantasy camp" and describing a command room and the nuclear football.
  • Quaid recounted being with Trump shortly before U.S. strikes on Iran, portraying the president as reluctant and maintaining a "poker face."
  • He described the presidential aircraft as dated and suggested a newer plane would better serve future occupants.
  • His visibility as a Trump supporter has drawn blowback from some in the industry, including a pointed comment from former co-star Lauren Holly, as he promotes his Netflix film War Machine.
