"The best thing we could do is just get Mike Bloomberg in there," Eastwood told the outlet.


quote:

Eastwood, who described himself to the outlet as a libertarian who has "respect for other people’s ideas and is willing to learn constantly," said there are "certain things" Trump has done during his presidency that he approves of.

Still, the "Richard Jewell" director still takes issue with the "ornery" state of politics in America, adding that he'd like to see the president act "in a more genteel way, without tweeting and calling people names."

"I would personally not like for him [Trump] to not bring himself to that level," Eastwood added.


Fox News

It boggles the mind on this one. I hold high regard for Clint and he is my favorite actor but I am truly disappointed with him backing Bloomberg.

He's old school when it comes to the whole "conduct befitting the office" thing.

He's picking the only avowed capitalist in the Dem field.

I think he means the Dem nomination not the presidency. But I could be wrong.

Obviously, a libertarian who supports government involvement in limiting the size of cola products a citizen can purchase.

Didn't Eastwood run for mayor because his restaurant was getting nickle and dimed by regulation?

Now he supports a guy who wants to outlaw big gulps.

Must think we can put the genie back in the bottle.
He wants to bring a knife to a gun fight.

Libertarians supporting stop and frisk because they don’t like the free speech on the internet. That’s clown world.
