Jack and Dennis Quaid have different opinions of Donald Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. In September 2020, Politico reported Dennis had been pegged to appear in a taxpayer-funded ad intended to promote the then-president’s response to the health crisis. Two days after the report, Jack shared his thoughts on social media. “Hey it’s 11:24pm on a Saturday and I just thought this would be a good time to say: F**k Donald Trump,” he wrote on X, previously known as Twitter.
A day earlier, Dennis denied the campaign was a Trump endorsement. “Nothing could be further from the truth,” he said in an Instagram video, explaining that he wasn’t paid to do the interview and that its purpose was to educate the public on the importance of following health protocols. Despite his denial, he had previously shared admiration for Trump’s actions during the pandemic. “To tell you the truth, I think the president is handling it in a good way,” he told The Daily Beast in April 2020, adding he was an Independent.
While Dennis has changed his tune regarding Trump, Jack has remained steady in his. Amid the attack on the Capitol by Trump supporters on January 6, 2021, Jack expressed his contempt for the former president. “I repeat: F**k Donald Trump. This is insane,” he tweeted. Jack hasn’t publicly addressed his father’s political stance, but it doesn’t look like father and son will give up their relationship over Trump.
