Longtime Republican Clint Eastwood is pulling support from Donald Trump in the 2020 election. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the actor-director signaled that he thinks a different candidate would be the better choice.
“The best thing we could do is just get Mike Bloomberg in there,” he said.
After endorsing Mitt Romney and famously delivering a speech at the 2012 Republican National Convention to an empty chair that represented Barack Obama, Eastwood never officially backed Trump. In a 2016 interview, he expressed displeasure with Trump.

Neil Young blasts President Trump as a ‘disgrace to my country’ and will support Bernie Sanders’ candidacy
President Trump has been a fan of Neil Young’s music for years, although that may change after Young’s latest broadside against him

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Neil Young hasn’t written a scathing song about President Trump yet, but that may be only a matter of time.
The Canadian-born music legend became an American citizen in late January, specifically so he could vote in the 2020 presidential election, but he isn’t wasting any time sharing his thoughts.
On Tuesday, Young posted an “open letter” to President Trump on his Neil Young Archives Times-Contrarian website. Young’s missive blasted Trump, while also announcing his strong support for Democratic party presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
As he did in his in his 2006 song “Let’s Impeach the President” and in his classic 1970 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young protest anthem “Ohio” — which excoriated then-President Nixon and mourned the deaths of four anti-war protesters at the hands of the National Guard — Young does not hold back.
“You are a disgrace to my country,” Young, 74, writes to Trump, 73.
Intriguingly, as far back as 2008, Trump had declared himself a big fan of Young, saying at the time: “I’ve met (Young) on occasions and he’s a terrific guy.”
As of this writing, Trump has not used his widely read Twitter page to acknowledge or respond to Young’s open letter attacking him.
“Bragging about the U.S. economy does not disguise the fact that the numbers today are what you inherited 4 years ago,” Young continues. “Your mindless destruction of our shared natural resources, our environment and our relationships with friends around the world is unforgivable. Your policies, decisions and short term thinking continue to exacerbate the Climate Crisis. Our first black president was a better man than you are.
“The United States of America, my country, is not a green on one of your branded golf courses that you can ride around on and damage so that other players cannot shoot straight.”
Young, who in 1984 voiced his support for then-President Ronald Reagan, also uses his open letter to take Trump to task for his use of Young’s 1989 song, “Rockin’ in the Free World,” at Trump’s rallies.
“Every time ‘Keep On Rockin’ in the Free World’ or one of my songs is played at your rallies, I hope you hear my voice. Remember it is the voice of a tax-paying U.S. citizen who does not support you. Me.”
Young concludes by letting Trump know exactly which candidate Young is supporting. “One of your opponents has the answers I like,” Young writes. “He is aiming at preserving our children’s future directly. He is not pandering to the industries accelerating Earth’s Climate Disaster, the end of the world as we know it.
