Speaking with Fox News Digital, Quaid says there is a double standard when it comes it politics and President Donald Trump.
"There's either 'F Trump' from the other side or 'I love Trump' from a few of us who speak about it," he told the outlet. "Of course, there's a double standard, but there's a double standard on everything. You've got common sense, and then you've got like some kind of whipped-up scenario where, you know, it might be true, you know, that I could compete in women's sports or, you know, that I could, whatever, vote twice or whatever it is."
Icon Talks Trump
Beyond starring as President Ronald Reagan, Quaid more recently appeared in the Netflix military film War Machine with Alan Ritchinson. For the film, Quaid spoke with Trump about it.
"He said, 'What do you got coming out?' I said, 'War Machine.' He went, 'Oh yeah, I can't wait to see that. We need that kind of movie. What's it about?' I said, 'It's aliens versus humans.' He said, 'You know I'm going to release the file,'" he laughed. "So, we may have a prequel by the time he does it, you never know."
The actor also flew with Trump on Air Force One.
"It was pretty amazing," he said. "There's everything you really kind of thought it would be. With the, you know, the military guys, they're at their radar screens or whatever. The nuclear football's just sitting there, and it was something else."
According to the icon, he had been with Trump prior to the attacks against Iran. He overheard Trump talking about the situation.
Quaid said, "'What are we going to do about Iran, you know?' He didn't want to do it. And you could tell that it weighed heavy on his heart, because he knew sending any of our service people into harm's way, it's probably the biggest, hardest decision that I think the President of the United States could make. And it weighed heavy on him, but, you know, he had quite a poker face at the same time because he wasn't really giving anything away, but you could feel his heart. That's what it was."
