Dean Cain, the actor famous for his role as Superman in the 1990s TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, has publicly supported Donald Trump following backlash over the former president’s recent remarks comparing himself to the soldiers of World War II.
Trump sparked outrage when he likened his legal battles to the sacrifices made by the soldiers depicted in the acclaimed HBO miniseries Band of Brothers. Critics accused him of disrespecting veterans, but Cain has now stepped in to defend the controversial statement.
‘He’s Got a Point,’ Says Cain
In an interview, Cain argued that Trump’s comparison was not meant to diminish the bravery of WWII soldiers but rather to highlight his own struggles against political adversaries. "He’s fighting what he sees as a corrupt system," Cain said. "I don’t think he was trying to equate himself to those heroes, but he’s certainly in a battle."
Hollywood Reacts
The backlash against Trump’s comments was swift, with many in Hollywood condemning the analogy. However, Cain, a longtime Trump supporter, suggested that the criticism was overblown. "People love to twist his words," he remarked. "But if you listen to what he actually said, it’s not as outrageous as some are making it out to be."
The debate has reignited discussions about the intersection of politics and entertainment, with figures like Cain continuing to voice their support for the former president despite public scrutiny.
