Actor-director Clint Eastwood believes that Donald Trump is benefitting from a trend in American culture by saying what he believes, despite criticism from all sides. “He’s onto something, because secretly everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up,” Clint Eastwood said in an interview with Esquire. “That’s the kiss-ass generation we’re in right now. We’re really in a pussy generation. Everybody’s walking on eggshells.” Eastwood specifically cited Trump’s comments criticizing a judge who was born to Mexican parents, but indicated he was tired of the media fueled controversy “He’s said a lot of dumb things. So have all of them. Both sides,” he said “But everybody —the press and everybody’s going, ‘Oh, well, that’s racist,’ and they’re making a big hoodoo out of it. Just fucking get over it. It’s a sad time in history.” Eastwood said that he hadn’t spoken to Trump about an endorsement, and hadn’t endorsed anyone for president. He clarified that he didn’t agree with everything that Trump said, but indicated that it was refreshing to see an unfiltered politician. “He’s just saying what’s on his mind and sometimes it’s not so good,” he said. “And sometimes it’s … I mean, I can understand where he’s coming from, but I don’t always agree with it.” But given the choice between Trump or Clinton, Eastwood suggested that he would probably vote for Trump because Clinton represented more of what Obama did to the country. “I’d have to go for Trump … you know, ’cause she’s declared that she’s gonna follow in Obama’s footsteps,” he said, calling Clinton “a tough voice to listen to for four years.” Eastwood criticized political figures who were using their position to make money, citing “too much funny business on both sides of the aisle.” “She’s made a lot of dough out of being a politician,” he said, referring to Clinton. Overall, however, Eastwood seemed dissatisfied with both Trump and Clinton. “Everybody is boring everybody. It’s boring to listen to all this shit. It’s boring to listen to these candidates,” he said. He added that an ideal candidate should more understanding instead of trying to insult his way to victory. “[G]et in there and get it done,” he advised, citing his father. “Kick ass and take names.”

A uniquely truthful and apropos characterization….I really like it. And I really like old Clint Eastwood….he always speaks his mind. At his age of 86, I’ll say he is close enough to be of The Greatest Generation … God bless you, Clint … And you too, Duke …
He was 15 when WW II ended. You're pretty desperate to shoehorn a lot of extras into that WW II generation, aren't you? It seems to be eating you up.
Nah, not eating me up at all. It is just impossible not to notice the difference in the way people approached things and reacted to them in those days….compared to now. Ah. those were the good old days … [TC, I get no videos to post, using the same procedure I have always used. Please, you do a test post of this video here].
Please, you do a test post of this video here]. Okay. This is working for me. I did reduce it from a 640x360 widescreen to a more palatable 640x480.
I keep getting the following message each time I try to post a video, and I never have before. The format I am using is the same you used….and I even tried your smaller size.
I tried it using my current version of Chrome and did not get this message. I'm surprised that I'm not. In particular, they are saying that scripts are trying to run on one site and access data on another site. This is call "cross-site scripting" and it is forbidden on every good browser. However, there are ways you can sneak a few past the goalie so some extensions and some browsers (like Chrome) are extra-paranoid. It is surprising that you are getting this message at YouTube though. Both Chrome and YouTube are owned and developed by Google so you'd think they could make their top browser product work with their top social media site. But apparently not. If you really want to fix Chrome, you can make it a little less paranoid.

I'll try to look back and find it.
That was a good find....thank you. I will stick with his first suggestion....switch to IE. Faster and less trouble ... This old timer member on the fringe of The Greatest Gereration thanks you
Google will probably fix this Chrome problem in a few weeks, a month at most. It could be as soon as a few days. This is temporary.
Thanks ...
