United States Headlines News

United States Latest News, United States Headlines

Photo: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic Funding all of those absurd meme accounts may have actually paid off … for now. Michael Bloomberg has secured the coveted Clint Eastwood endorsement for his presidential campaign, with the actor and director telling The Wall Street Journal that the former New York City mayor is now his top choice to infiltrate the White House. “The best thing we could do,” he explained, “is just get Mike Bloomberg in there.

” While Eastwood self-identifies as a libertarian, he has historically voted Republican, and previously stated his intention to vote for Donald Trump in the 2016 election. “The politics has gotten so ornery,” Eastwood said in the interview, adding that he agrees with “certain things that Trump’s done.” He wishes, though, that Trump would behave “in a more genteel way, without tweeting and calling people names. I would personally like for him to not bring himself to that level.

Soo nothing has changed then?

Weird I wonder what changed!!

getting interesting....

Breaking news, a republican endorses a republican

Isn't Bloomberg a Republican?

Bloomberg is a Republican.

ClintEa14308916 He is a very successful person. He is wasting his time endorsing Bloomberg for president. Bloomberg will never be the president of the United States. Bloomberg and Eastwood wouldn’t qualify for a pet monkey 🐒

ClintEa14308916 YOU MR EASTWOOD JUST HAVE STABBED EVERY AMERICAN GUN OWNER IN THE BACK AND KILLED THE 2ND AMENDMENT FOR THE USA THE JOHN WAYNES OF HOLLYWOOD ARE ALL DEAD!!!

Amazing the ignorance of the left who say Bloomberg is a Republican. Bloomberg is pro abortion, anti 2A, pro open borders, pro government overreach, etc. Merely “SAYING” a jackass is an elephant, doesn’t make a jackass an elephant. MiniMike produces the rotten fruit of the Dems.

Nooooooo Clint not him!!!! I dont like trumps mouth either but not that asshole!

ClintEa14308916 $$$%$

ClintEa14308916 like your I media account pages I won't no more😡

ClintEa14308916 It's like New York Magazine has credibility?! Lol🤔😛🤔 FAKE NEWS!!!!

ClintEa14308916 Sooo disappointed, good grief..

ClintEa14308916 Because the 2nd Amendment is not worth it and he wants Sanders?

So, he endorsed another Republican. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

ClintEa14308916 What if he’s not running smart guy? Between Bernie Sanders & Donald Trump who would you vote for? Do you really think it matters which Democrat Candidate runs against Trump if Dems win policies will be those of Progressive Socialism KAG2020

ClintEa14308916 Traitor

TheBadDadder 👎🏻😡👎🏻

ClintEa14308916 How can you support Bloomberg who thinks we are deplorables and is of the party of Nancy and Schiff. Just because he has the big bucks does not give him the right to think he is smarter and better then the rest of us. Genteel my tail!

Clint Eastwood must be senile

ClintEa14308916 How much did he pay you?

ClintEa14308916 Mike Bloomberg says not nice things about American people, that's hypocricy

1st its bloomie, today it was bernie, and now back to bloomie

ClintEa14308916 FAKE ACCOUNT

That’s because BLOOMBERG IS A REPUBLICAN!🤦‍♂️

ClintEa14308916 Very disappointed Clint Eastwood.

ClintEa14308916 I don't believe it

ClintEa14308916 And just like that Dirty Hairy wants gun control and hates minorities and women. Finally senile maybe?

ClintEa14308916 YOU WILL FOREVER BE KNOWN AS AN ENEMY OF THE STATE MR. EASTWOOD AND I NOW YOU WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT...

ClintEa14308916 I guess Mr.Eastwood doesn’t like: economy, lowest unemployment for blacks, Mexicans and women, stock market, prison reform, protecting our boarders, being prolife,tax cuts for middle class, killing 3 head terrorist, conservative justices, etc.. guess Trump didn’t make your day!

ClintEa14308916 Trump2020

ClintEa14308916 Why? realDonaldTrump is tough and has the guts to do the hard work. Makes no sense.

ClintEa14308916 Eastwood, why would you do that? I too think our POTUS shouldn’t continue with the name calling, but he has to tweet because the media is so biased. Trump/Pence & a Republican Supermajority in Congress. Saving our Republic.

He was hostile to President Obama, who cares.

ClintEa14308916 You've lost it

So what

Bloomberg is a républican of course

ClintEa14308916

that’s crazy, considering bloomberg is a republican

Don't fall for this fake news. Clint Eastwood is a Trump supporter. Don't believe anything WSJ says. If you hear it straight from Clint, then believe it.

ClintEa14308916 Mr. Eastwood would 'WIN' if he ran, and would make a better POTUS than ANYONE running on Dem's side....

soooooo... Still endorsing Republicans?

Meaningless. Eastwood lost perspective years ago. Whoever he endorses doesn't carry much weight with the electorate.

ClintEa14308916 No he didn't. This is all BS.

Well how much to Bloomberg throw his way from the marketing department? Inquiring minds want to know.

Did he think he was a chair?

Because Bloomberg IS A REPUBLICAN ... duh

Wonder how long until realDonaldTrump comes after Dirty Harry clinteastwood and gives him his own elementary school level nickname

ClintEa14308916 WTF?

marilumerg Poor Clint Eastwood is in the beginning stages of Alzheimers ! :lol

So he’s still voting republican?

Great, will he talk to furniture at the convention?

Bloomberg’s really a Republican so this isn’t really news.

ClintEa14308916 Who cares what this old misogynistic man does? He treats women like shit and he talked to a chair.

Republican endorses Republican

ClintEa14308916 Bloomberg is no way a democrat. Mr. Eastwood is entitled to his choice. Move along...

ClintEa14308916

1. Bloomberg was a Republican. 2. Clint Eastwood talks to chairs.

ClintEa14308916 Poor Bloomberg.

He can vote for whoever he wants. Not something you Democrats relate to. You want everyone to fall in line with the Communist Democrat Party

ClintEa14308916 i can not understand you, why would you vote for that ass!!! i really looked up to you these last 3 years, vote for trump, he has done so much for this country!!!

So, he can't quite admit he was wrong about Trump in 2016, but obviously even he is experiencing buyers remorse.

ClintEa14308916 Oh no! Why

suzannekeith71 He’s a loon. Don’t care who he picks.

In the words of Dirty Harry..'make my day!'

sunshinek67 Another crazy as a loon dude. Didn't he like an empty chair or something once

So in other words, he’s still voting Republican.

Smart move Clint.

This means *both* people who care what clint eastwood thinks are now gonna vote for Bloomberg

ClintEa14308916 so

Why?

ClintEa14308916 Did you have a stroke?

Let me check...how many fucks do I give about who Clint Eastwood endorses? Nope.. not even one.

What's important in this (to me) is that there is one less Trump supporter

ClintEa14308916 I’m with you Clint😉👍🏾

ClintEa14308916 Odd how you would endorse a nanny state fascist who wants a ban on guns, is pro abortion, believes in climate change and is worse than Bernie. At least Bernie doesn't dictate what to eat, drink and how long to sleep.

ClintEa14308916 Ugh!!

ClintEa14308916 Apparently, his dementia is very advanced and is easily swayed by money. Sad, but no one needs another false patriot.

So nothing changed

Bloomberg sitting behind a desk could have the appearance of an empty chair.

ClintEa14308916 Hey Clint take your meds bud you get crazy without them. You have like Joe Biden syndrome you're 110 years old and no one really cares who you're voting for. It doesn't matter anyway. TrumpLandslideVictory2020

MikeBloomberg is a DINO.

ClintEa14308916 Very disappointing to hear that. Trump has done so much good for us in just 3 years. I guess he succumbed to the Hollywood left’s pressure.

He realizes that the Republican Party he once knew no longer exists. After watching recent Trump rallies, it would be accurate to say all that remains now is a political cult.

ClintEa14308916 Embarrassing

ClintEa14308916 I wouldn't doubt Clint being strategic about this since Bloomberg is the easiest to win against

At least it's not Bernie Sanders. That's all I have to say. So all of you Clint fans can put the torches & pitchforks away, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Well so he continues supporting republicans?

I... is Clint the ultimate troll?

I'm shocked!

So a republican is scared of Bernie so comes out to support Bloomberg? Zero percent chance Eastwood does not vote for trump he is wingnut as they come

ClintEa14308916 He is Romney's guy and they are campaigning to get MittRomney in as running mate of little Mike. Utah paper proclaimed it a unifying ticket. Public unified in not wanting either. Eastwood will lose many supporters over this ridiculous/transparent campaign.

ClintEa14308916 He went fu€king crazy.

ClintEa14308916 Bloomberg is a Nazi wanting to control every aspect of your life including telling a woman to kill her baby who worked for him. Sorry but this is where I ditch Clint.

So, he's endorsing another Republican. Why is that big news?

That just proves Bloomberg is secretly still Republican.

PuppyResists So he’ll still be voting republican 😏

ClintEa14308916 🇺🇸🇺🇸KAG 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘❤️👍

ClintEa14308916 I was actually hoping your acct was hacked, backing Bloomberg a racist, a union hater & a bully, you got to be kidding me!!!!!!!!!!

ClintEa14308916 Oh man. Say it ain’t so. Come on Clint.

ClintEa14308916 Sucks

He’s still voting for a Republican...

Let’s see how Trumpy reacts 👶 🍼

Yeah, because Bloomberg’s a Republican.

DonaldTrump

because he’s basically a republican. they keep switching sides just to grab power and don’t actually believe in anything.

A sad, washed up liberal, hollywood elite. No one watches his movies. Bridges of Madison County, what the hell was that? With that Streep woman. Blood coming out of her whatever. Can we just have Gone With The Wind? ClintEastwood Trump

truthglow Eww, David

So he’s not really changing which party he votes for, then.

Lol duh cause Bloomberg’s actually a Republican just slithering by all the fools by registering as a Dem

So, Bernie is the empty chair?

He is senile

So, exactly like Bloomberg then?

Michael Bloomberg the mayor of New York in that city is a flipping disaster violent zone where the police can't do nothing you want this guy for president I'm really disappointed now

Bloomberg is Republican just not Trump republican

Clint Eastwood tells Consul General of Israel, Ido Aharoni, 'I'm a big supporter of Israel'

Could it be that his movies aren't doing good?

Judge Judy now Clint?

So... still voting Republican then?

Clint still talking to empty chairs?

So nothings changed

Which is why we should all think twice about the ‘Democrat’ Bloomberg.

Who’s going to break it to him?

Bloomberg vs. Trump? What the hell is the difference? EXCLUSIVE: CLINT EASTWOOD SAVES AMERICA BY TRADING HIS COKE FOR A PEPSI... 🙄

So, no change.

so he's voting republican

freddyatton Thought we didn't care about the Hollyweird 'elite.'

so he's endorses a republican, so what

he then had a nice back-and-forth with an end table.

Bloomberg IS a Republican!!!!

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

That's because Bloomberg is a fucking Republican!!

same thing lol

ahhh the Trump to Bloomberg voter, nobody more principled than those guys

The Republican who talks to empty chairs? I'm sure the media will say this endorsement is more important than aoc's.

who gives a shit

KyungLahCNN Who cares? When he talked to a chair, he lost me forever. I do not care what these old men think!

Makes old Clint another Hollyweirdo! C'ya Clint!

So he continues to vote Republican than?

So he endorsed a Republican. How is this news?

So he’s still voting republican?

Yep, he's endorsing a republican.

Thx for your endorsment and valuable input Clint I mean Mr Eastwood. Oh and on behalf of ALL campaigns we're ALL your friends here. LOL

Will he talk to an empty chair? I was done with him after that!

Same difference

Bloomberg was the Republican Mayor of New York.

Bloomberg is a Republican

GOOD, suck those votes away from Trumper

Correction: Clint Eastwood, who has historically voted Republican, just endorsed Michael Bloomberg, a Republican.

He’s....still supporting a republican

Oh, like we don't know celebrities want Bloomberg. Hollywood is a bunch of bipartisan capitalists who don't like the way Trump talks.

Nice!

WhistlingBatter So...he's endorsing another republican...

😉

So no change

I’m sure Mitch McConnell is rooting for Mike as well.

wait what?

Eastwood drops trump for Republican light.

ah, so he is continuing to vote Republican

DanielleDCRebel The Good and the Ugly join forces to defeat the Bad

NDAs for sexual harassment; Racist policies Party-switcher Mega-rich and now Clint Eastwood. How exactly is Bloomberg different than Trump?

keeping the streak alive, then

Bloomberg is a republican

Clint how could you?

He endorsed the candidate who is so hated by most Democrats.

Will James Woods be next?

so no change there

Bloomberg is a Republican so he’s still good

So. He's still voting Republican.

A Republican.

So his party affiliation hasn’t changed...

Because Bloomberg is basically a Republican

Hes a Republican

So, he's still a Republican, right?

MikePoopberg is BlueMAGA

This 'news' helps no one.

So he’s still backing a Republican?

So, still a republican then? Got it, thanks

I guess Soros got to him too . Good riddance Clint Eastwood. I never dreamed you be bought by communist.

lmao

Paid actor?

Why do both of them look like zombies?

Is this the same guy that had the chair he talked to in 2012?

💪🏼

doradw1 I can see the debate- Bloomberg shows up and Trump is represented by an empty chair, with Eastwood talking to it.

Is this the result of an argument with an orange chair that he thought was Trump?

😂 Nominate Bloomberg Democrats. 🤣

'Bloomberg, a former Republican, running for some reason as a Democrat.' 😐

Republican like republican

Suddenly liberals like Clint Eastwood lol

Bloomberg. Aka: Donald Trump in a blue tie. Next story.

You misspelled “ruined Bloomberg’s primary chances”

The same Bloomberg that berates us commoners and sexually harnesses women employees? THAT Bloomberg?

Real Republicans are far and few between. And real conservatives are almost non existent at this point. We have Trumpism and Trumpist.

FrancesStockton Of course he would endorse t**mp 2.0.

Old Man Still Voting Republican

The nutty Republican base just lost one of their famous nuts!

So, he again is voting Republican... What's new?

So he’s still voting for a Republican then.

So he is still voting Republican

That's because mini Mike is a Republican. Simple as that.

marilumerg X

lol

Gee it’s almost like Mike Bloomberg appeals to Republicans

So, he likes money... wow, didn't see that coming.

Sooooo he’s still voting republican?

A Republican backing another Republican, who wudda thunk?

So he’s gonna keep voting Republican?

stuartenyt And DickVanDyke just endorsed Sanders, so Bernie for the win.

AliAdair22 It may be a disappointment to Trump, but this is not a point in Bloomberg's favor.

Client's views are more iconoclastic than a lot of people realize. Try checking out his movie, 'El Torino,' about the Hmong community in the US. Trump is now trying to deport some of them.

Bloomers is trying to buy the Democratic nomination & Democrats can be bought Bernie proved that when Hillary bought him out & the others would sell their own mothers🙄You’re nothing more than a FakePropagandaMachine printing nothing but vile trash fully owned by Democrats GFY🖕🏼

Wonderful that MikeBloomberg is uniting people from across political spectrum who want to see Trump expelled from White House. Let’s have more unity in United States. Mike2020

I don’t agree with Clint Eastwood politics, but he’s still one of my all time favorite actors, and The Good The Bad and The Ugly is my all time favorite movie. Separate politics from the art, and everyone has the right to their own political opinion.

Repubs are already losing it over this and it's wonderful. 'No, he said that b-b-b-b-but what he meant was, what he really meant was, the opposite, becausen I uh... I want that to be the case. So it must be.' God these people are thick in the head

If he's endorsing Bloomy all I can say is........... BE AFRAID. 😡

“... just endorsed Michael Bloomberg, who is historically republican.”

He traded in the empty chair for an empty suit.

Mike Bloomberg is a Republican

so he continues to endorse republicans

Of course he has, a Bloomberg nomination is a guaranteed Republican president.

you say this as if there's a contradiction

That’s VERY big

At least he understands the mistake he made in the past.

To Clint and the Hollywood Establishment : Goebbels oversaw the publication of all ENTERTAINMENT, literature, music, newspapers, and public events Any material that threatened the reputation of Hitler's government was immediately censored and retracted What would TRUMP save?

Because Bloomberg is a Republican

Clint Eastwood who has defended his bigotry with “I made ‘Bird’!” and “In my day (1940s, 50s, 60s,etc) nothing was racist!” has decided Trump is too mean.

nadabakos So he continues to vote republican

Republican endorses Republican

nadabakos Eewwwww Protecting his wealth by picking a BILLIONAIRE and no interest in protecting climate stability Clint got it all wrong ,sadly

So, a Republican then.

*comically exaggerated jack off motion*

That s Fake News isn't it?😂

nadabakos When it comes to national electoral politics, Clint Eastwood is one hell of a filmmaker.

Pfft

Clint's record of endorsing quality candidates is not exactly sterling. 😆

Because Bloomberg is a republican, thanks for playing

nadabakos TBF Bloomberg is as Republican as they come. DINO was an independent previously.

nadabakos Michael Bloomberg is a Republican.

A fierce NRA supporter backing a fierce gun control supporter. There is hope.

nadabakos Old, pervy, birds of a feather...

Was he standing beside a chair when he did it?

In other words, Clint Eastwood is still endorsing a republican.

Bloomberg would win just sayin’ TheDemocrats

Mike Bloomberg IS a REPUBLICAN. A racist one at that. So how is this news?

That would still be generally a vote for a (recently converted) Republican.

Republican endorses a republican. What breaking news

Whoa!

Well, that's progress! But, Bloomberg was a Republican and then he wasn't.

Bloomberg's debate performance did look like an empty chair talking

The day Dirty Harry died.

Who cares

Go talk to the chair, Clint.

0 for 2.

Same thing. 😐

What? He doesn't like Trump? Who knew? Clint Eastwood the Republican.

Michael Bloomberg, who has also historically voted Republican, welcomes his support, no doubt.

Eastwood for president.

See Dems! Bloomberg is a Republican! He's Blue Trump!

Go, mayor Bloomberg!

Why is this news?

Of course this means BernieSanders is NOT a Democrat.

Game-changer. The guy who lectured an empty chair at the 2012 Republican National Convention just endorsed a Republican running as a Democrat.

And who is surprised ... anyone?

The stool he backed before is going to be devastated.

So disappointed.

Bloomberg2020

F-ck that dude

I think he's still supporting republicans, then, right?
