Trump's visits to New York neighborhoods after the historic Bronx rally are greatly appreciated by Dennis Quaid.
Trump's human qualities have been exposed by the events that have conspired against him, according to Quaid.
Dennis Quaid, who stars in the upcoming biopic "Reagan," expressed his admiration for Donald Trump after observing the former president's visits to minority communities in New York City.
On "Jesse Watters Primetime," Quaid appeared after Trump's rally in the South Bronx on Thursday, where thousands gathered to support the 2024 presidential candidate.
"Quaid told Watters that he admires Trump for visiting neighborhoods and that people connect with this approach. Despite the events working against him, Trump has become more relatable to people due to his human qualities."
Quaid stated that Trump's talk of "cleaning house" does not mean becoming a dictator, but rather starting over with what the American people want.
In 1980, during the summer, Ronald Reagan visited the South Bronx and criticized Jimmy Carter for not focusing on urban revitalization. He compared the area to post-World War II London. This visit occurred before Reagan won the 1980 general election in New York by almost 3 percentage points.
Since Reagan's landslide win in 1984, no Republican president has won New York during a general election.
The veteran actor remembered Reagan's visit to the South Bronx as highly significant, having personally experienced that time period.
"He had the courage to go there," Quaid stated. "He might have ended up with a red face."
Reagan was the first president that Quaid ever voted for, according to Quaid, who described him as a "man of the people" and a "great communicator."
In the upcoming biopic "Reagan," Dennis Quaid will portray the 40th president of the United States.
"Quaid stated that the movie is a great reminder of how America used to be and what it can become. He added, "It's kind of a tribute to Reagan, a great human being, and I'm proud of the film.""
Quaid replied to Watters' question about parallels between 1980 and the present day by affirming that he still holds true to the slogan, "Are you better off than you were four years ago?"
"Reagan" is set to release in theaters on August 30.
