I guess if it were truly Opposite Day I’d be able to buy a roll of toilet paper or take my dog to the beach but this is close enough. A couple of A-list celebrities have refused to drink Hollywood’s “Orange man bad” Kool-Aid and are praising President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Tracy Morgan and Dennis Quaid are telling people to stop blaming Trump and even praising his actions to keep us safe. Presumably both celebrities will be blacklisted once Opposite Day is over as this kind of thing is completely unacceptable in the liberal entertainment industry.
Tracy Morgan was on the Today showpromoting the final season of The Last O.G. when the host tried to get him hate on Trump. he refused.
“Right now we’re struggling. People want to criticize the President, but imagine being president of a country and half your country got sick, so it’s difficult for him,” said Morgan.
I rewatched this several times just to make sure that’s what he actually said. He did.
After violating the Hollywood rule of not hating on President Trump, Morgan then violated their other rule of divisiveness over unity.
“We all gotta pull together as people. Now is not the time for blame and all these other things and anger. It’s here now. We gotta just be together. We gotta all stay safe. Nobody wants to transmit it…Nobody wants to get it,” Morgan said.
I’m certain that Tracy Morgan will be getting angry e-mails from both the entertainment division of the Liberal Council and the Black Trump-Haters Association for this transgression.
Actor Dennis Quaid will also be reprimanded. In an interview with liberal-ass The Daily Beast, he too was expected to hate on Trump, but willfully ignored the mandate. Quaid was fed a leading question about how Trump’s response has left hospitals “criminally undersupplied” but he gave an unexpected answer:
“Well, to tell you the truth, I think the president is handling it in a good way. We see him on television every day, he’s involved, and the travel ban early on was a great idea—which he did in spite of protest about that,” said Quaid.
The Daily Beast thought that Quaid may have misspoken so they gave him another opportunity to fix things and hate on Trump properly:
“But partisanship aside, when we talk about the lack of medical supplies and hospitals not having the gear and ventilators they need, in February, the Trump administration shipped 17.8 tons of medical supplies to China—knowing full well that this pandemic was about to hit our shores. They’d been briefed on it. So that’s a big reason why we’re so depleted right now,” said DB.
“We were trying to defeat the virus at its source at that time, and as I heard yesterday, Arnold Schwarzenegger and a few other people are taking planes over there and shipping a lot of it back. The states are also responsible for having stockpiles of their own, according to their own needs,” replied Quaid.
The Daily Beast tried again to bring Quid to his senses, but the actor simply would not comply:
“I think Trump, no matter what anybody thinks of him, is doing a good job at trying to get these states—and all of the American people—what they need, and also trying to hold our economy together and be prepared for when this is all over,” said Quaid.
Quaid was so far gone in this interview that he wouldn’t even blame president Trump for a virus from China that the country lied about, allowing it to become a global pandemic:
“But Congress was briefed that this pandemic was coming to our shores on Jan. 24, so the Trump administration knew before then, and the Army warned the Trump administration in early February that the virus could kill upward of 150,000 people, yet we didn’t really get any stay-at-home orders or cautioning until mid-March, which is a long time to not really act on it,” DB said.
“But Trump did do the travel ban to China, and then to Europe very quickly afterward, and he was castigated by a lot of members of Congress, who were just getting out of the impeachment, that it was racist what he was doing. It’s a good thing we had that travel ban at the time. You know, the world has never experienced this, and I don’t think it’s a time to be political,” said Quaid.
And he kept going with this:
“I think it’s just time to get behind our government and have everybody do what they can. If you want to point blame after, that’s another story, but right now I think we all just really need to come together on this,” Quaid said.
And finally:
“To get back to your original question, I do appreciate that Trump is giving the briefings and on television every day giving out the information, and I think they have great people handling it,” finished Quaid.
For the record, Dennis Quaid describes himself as an independent who mostly votes for democrats.
With Tracy Morgan and Dennis Quaid bucking Hollywood tradition of hating on President Trump, it’s either Opposite Day or hell has frozen over. A third option is that someone finally found a cure for Trump Derangement Syndrome, which should fill us all with hope that a coronavirus cure is coming next.
