Clint did not say that.
What he said has been bent, twisted and manipulated to hurt Donald. Like ALWAYS.

I do NOT believe it for ONE SECOND even.

we need to drive these liars OUT of journalism.
What else could they do for a living... I know, they could learn to write code... in stead of lies.

They would soon learn that lies, in code worlds, do not compile. do not build and cannot be successfully be deployed.

as a matter of fact that is exactly where the dems and the lying press are today... they do not compile, cannot build anything useful and fail to work whenever they attempt to deploy.

a quote attributed to CLint was this “IF you could reason with a liberal, there wouldn’t be any liberals”

He must not know very much about Bloomberg if he actually said that.

Since it’s the WSJ, and I will look up the writer, I would prefer to hear what Clint Eastwood has to say directly.

When I see an “off” article by an unknown writer, I do a search. Here’s a bit of what I found, don’t have much time right now. Tunky is a weirdo...He hates Trump, and Indian nationalism.

India Turns West but Away From Western Values
The country’s first pro-American prime minister also stands for intolerant Hindu nationalism.

Imvho, MOST of the so-called “media types” would be “out of their depth” in a mud puddle. = IF they got fired, a goodly percentage of media “talking heads” would be best employed in a position where they would routinely say, “Do you want fries with that?”

If he simply meant get Bloom in the dem’s race for a candidate to mix things up, that is one thing. If he meant get bloom in the White House, then Clint is nuts.

Trump is like a young Sandy Koufax. The hitter standing at the plate doesn’t know if the next pitch is going to be the deadliest, most un-hittable curve ball on the planet, or a bat-poop crazy wild pitch.

That makes the pitcher very effective.

When you've got this urge to run for your life, it isn't conducive to
planning and attacking the ball. You're on your heels trying to survive.

Maybe the Leftists are in fear of having to run for their lives, and
are thus on their heels most of the time.

I love Clint Eastwood....but if he is serious in backing and supporting “Butt Wipe” Mike Bloomberg for POTUS....then sadly the great “Dirty Harry” has lost his marbles....SAD!!!

it’s being reported, without any further context, elsewhere; there’s a huge difference between whether what he says means in the race, or in the White house:
