Hollywood’s Leftward Shift and a Trump Reappraisal

Dennis Quaid, known for his roles in National Treasure and The Fugitive, took a stand on Pastor Greg Laurie’s podcast, asserting that Hollywood has drifted too far left and that former President Donald Trump is often misjudged.

Hollywood’s Shift

• Quaid highlights a trend where actors now brand anyone who identifies as a traditional Democrat with extremist labels.
• He points out the misuse of the term “Nazi” to describe individuals who are not on the far right, illustrating how language is being stretched.

Quaid’s Political Stance

• Calls himself a “common‑sense independent”.
• Admits to leaning conservative in his thinking.
• Emphasizes a preference for practical solutions over partisan slogans.

Praise for Trump

• Describes Trump as personable, funny, and approachable—qualities he feels Hollywood fails to capture.
• Argues that Trump’s genuine nature won him votes and brings a unique energy to politics.
• Recounts spending a weekend at the White House during the Clinton era, giving him firsthand experience of presidential life.

Vision for America

• Hopes for a “spiritual revolution” that bridges party divides.
• Believes such unity could bring conservatives and liberals together for the nation’s benefit.
