Dennis Quaid to star in Trump’s $300 million ad campaign against COVID ‘despair’: report

Published 12 hours ago on September 25, 2020By Bob Brigham



Americans should expect to see more of actor Dennis Quaid during television commercial breaks, according to a new report by Politico.

“The health department is moving quickly on a highly unusual advertising campaign to ‘defeat despair’ about the coronavirus, a $300 million-plus effort that was shaped by a political appointee close to President Donald Trump and executed in part by close allies of the official, using taxpayer funds,” Politico’s Dan Diamond reported Friday.

“The ad blitz, described in some budget documents as the “Covid-19 immediate surge public advertising and awareness campaign,” is expected to lean heavily on video interviews between administration officials and celebrities, who will discuss aspects of the coronavirus outbreak and address the Trump administration’s response to the crisis,” Politico explained, citing “six individuals with knowledge of the campaign.”

“Senior administration officials have already recorded interviews with celebrities like actor Dennis Quaid and singer CeCe Winans, and the Health and Human Services Department also has pursued television host Dr. Mehmet Oz and musician Garth Brooks for roles in the campaign,” Politico noted. “The public awareness campaign, which HHS is seeking to start airing before Election Day on Nov. 3, was largely conceived and organized by Michael Caputo, the health department’s top spokesperson who took medical leave last week and announced on Thursday that he had been diagnosed with cancer.”

1. I used to like him - not any more

2. my sister will be devastated to see Garth Brooks likewise roped into this propaganda campaign

Frankly, I thought Brooks (but not Quaid) was SMARTER than this.

by keeping people alive you genius of cess pits

4. Wow.

Do you think he went to his agent and said, "I'm looking for a way to flush my career down the toilet, really destroy it, so that I can't even get commercials anymore, let alone movie roles. What have you got?"

6. LOL! n/t

5. So, the ad campaign is designed to keep people from jumping off tall buildings

instead of waiting for Covid19 to claim them as the economy dives?
How desperate can an actor be to work for tRump's propaganda efforts in taking down our country? They want us to stay calm while hundreds of thousands of us die preventable deaths.

7. They want us to

allow ourselves to be used as guinea pigs in tRump's quest to discover some relevant cure that will lead to the Nobel Prize for himself.

Not gonna happen no matter who they trot out there. Let them take the first shots. Since they suppressed the science, took charge, and made ridiculous suggestions like injecting bleach for a cure, let them try it first. See if their arms, or something else, falls off.

Dennis Quaid, you're a fool. Not a smart move at all.

8. I wonder how long it will be before Susan Sarandon jumps on that bandwagon.

Taking money away from research and treatments to launch a PSA campaign is something expected from this horribly scripted reality show.

9. For $300 million they could have made Titanic plus a Marvel blockbuster.

Looks like the reelection campaign found a new source of funds, our taxpayer dollars intended for fighting the pandemic. We would have slightly less despair if it was used for its intended purpose.

10. How much PPE and/or testing could have been provided with $300 million?

[lettucebe]

11. Where are they getting the $300 million? They cannot spend every penny, or they can't pay ongoing

But wouldn't surprise me to see them blow every cent on one idea. Typical tRump action. Spend all the $, then file bankruptcy (lose election), then walk away leaving creditors (us) to foot the bill.

12. Maybe they could resurrect Leni Riefenstahl to shoot this propaganda bomb.

After all they exhibit fascism in every other thing they do.
