Former President Donald Trump criticized California’s liberal leaders at a large rally in Coachella on Saturday. Hollywood movie star Dennis Quaid then took the stage and urged the crowd to “pick a side.” 

“I’m here today to tell you, that it’s time to pick a side,” Quaid said, donning a red MAGA and blue t-shirt in a fiery address, “Are we gonna be a nation that stands for the Constitution or for TikTok?”

Meanwhile, Trump told supporters, many of whom stood for hours in 100-degree heat, “The radical left democrats have destroyed this state, but we are going to save it. We’re going to make it better than ever before.” He added: “We’re not going to let [Harris] destroy our country like she did San Francisco.”

“It’s a paradise lost, but we’re gonna bring it back,” Trump continued, adding, “Don’t worry about it, we’re gonna bring it back. It’ll happen fast.” He then reminisced nostalgically about the remarkable heights that California once represented.

“Through generations of American history, California stood as a beacon of what our country aspired to become,” Trump said. “It had everything. It had the weather. It had the water. The state had the best schools, the safest communities, and a booming middle class.”

“But all of it was eradicated by the very policies that Kamala Harris now wants to force upon America,” Trump added. “Today California has the highest inflation, the highest taxes, the highest gas prices, the highest cost of living, the most regulations, the most expensive utilities, the most homelessness, the most crime, the most decay, and the most illegal aliens,” Trump noted further.

“Other than that I think you’re doing quite well,” he quipped.

Trump has been showcasing a video compilation at his rallies that includes Harris’s comment, interwoven with news clips highlighting the administration’s policy failures, such as escalating home prices and the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.

“Kamala Harris got you into this mess and only Trump can get you out of it, we’re gonna get you out of it,” the ex-prez said.
