claims actor Clint Eastwood authored a long statement in favor of President Donald Trump that starts by saying, "I love when people call Trump Stupid."
In real life, it seems Clint Eastwood has slowly morphed from the justice-loving "Dirty Harry" to his cranky old man character from "Gran Torino," complaining about today’s generation and regretting the past, especially that speech to a chair. [...] As Eastwood told it to Esquire, he was apparently hanging out backstage at the RNC, listening to Neil Diamond’s "I Am, I Said." In case you’re suffering a Diamond drought, here’s the tune: [...] He doesn’t agree with everything Trump says — "He’s said a lot of dumb things," Eastwood said — but he thinks that voters need to "just … get over it."
