Yeah, first, this is movies, not politics.

Second, what the fuck does this even mean? Clint Eastwood doesn’t make “MAGA movies,” whatever those might be, and although he said some things in support of Trump back in 2016, he endorsed Michael Bloomberg in 2020. Also, again, none of this has any relation to his movies.

  No, he’s “both sides are terrible” center right.
  
  2016:
  
  “I think both individuals and both parties backing the individuals have a certain degree of insanity.” Eastwood said in the same interview, “I’m not on either side of the aisle. I think most Americans are going, ‘What the…? Is this all we can do?’ …When there were 17 people on the stage [in the early GOP debates], I thought, well, there are three or four people up there I could see voting for. They seem pretty good. I had a few…and then I thought, what the hell happened?”
  
  In a red carpet interview with Extra on September 8, 2016, when asked about supposedly supporting Trump, Eastwood replied, “You know, I haven’t supported anybody, really,” and jokingly suggested that Trump and Clinton constituted a modern-day Abbott and Costello, referring to the bumbling comedians of the 1940s and early 1950s.
  
  Then he endorsed Michael Bloomberg in 2020. That’s it.
