[William769]

(CNN)Actor and director Clint Eastwood, a longtime supporter of Republican candidates, appeared to back Democratic candidate Michael Bloomberg for president and criticized President Donald Trump's behavior in office in an interview published in The Wall Street Journal Friday.

"The best thing we could do is just get Mike Bloomberg in there," the Hollywood conservative said of the former New York mayor, according to the Journal.

Eastwood told the newspaper that he approves of "certain things" that Trump has done as President, without going into further detail.

He said, however, that he wishes Trump would behave "in a more genteel way, without tweeting and calling people names," the Journal reported.

1. any support for our candidates is welcome. Dirty Harry is a life long repuke, a "I got mine, to hell

with you" old school typical selfish prick but hey I think the empty chair routine helped Obama much more than hurt.

3. You know it is really bad when Clint E. of all people critiizes rump. My ? is, what took him so...

long? I hope that this burns rump up inside. He's a want-a-be, punk a&& dictator, who is forgetting the American people and what we've all accomplished without him. Massive accomplishments and what is he doing? He is playing around in his so called Country Club, being an ignorant and worthless jerk. My grandma helping the neighbor next door pay her bills is far more of a hero in my book than this piece of garbage.

5. Oh that is priceless

after his degrading and insulting behavior during the 2012 republican convention. Why should anyone listen to Eastwood now?

6. Yes, he is a longtime supporter of Republican candidates. And now he is throwing his support

to a candidate who until recently was also a Republican.
