← Back to Donald Trump ProfileFound within a larger alphabetical listing, this quote highlights a perceived appeal of Donald Trump's "fearless attitude" rooted in his outspokenness.
“People are looking for somebody who is outspoken and who isn't afraid. And [Trump] seems to have kind of a fearless attitude.”
Clint Eastwood, known for his conservative leanings, expressed support for Donald Trump in 2016, citing weariness of political correctness and Hillary Clinton's perceived adherence to Obama's policies.
“I'd have to go for Trump ... you know, [because] she's declared that she's gonna follow in [President] Obama's footsteps. I mean, it's a tough voice to listen to for four years. It could be a tough one. If she's just gonna follow what we've been doing, then I wouldn't be for her. She's made a lot of dough out of a being a politician. I gave up dough to be a politician. I'm sure that [former President] Ronald Reagan gave up dough to be a politician. ... [Trump]'s onto something, because secretly everybody's getting tired of political correctness, kissing up. That's the kiss-ass generation we're in right now. We're really in a p-ssy generation.”
