His bulletin will not go this time to the current tenant of the White House. American actor and director Clint Eastwood, who had supported Donald Trump in the last presidential election, this time chose Michael Bloomberg. To elect him is "the best thing we can do".

Former mayor of Carmel

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal , the 89-year-old star said that while he appreciates some of President Trump's accomplishments, he believes he should "act more correctly, without tweeting and insulting people." In 2016, the actor had chosen to support Donald Trump rather than Hillary Clinton lest she "walk in the footsteps of (President Barack) Obama".

In addition to his extraordinary career as an actor then a director, which earned him four Oscars, Clint Eastwood was also, for two years, mayor of the city of Carmel, California. He defied the political column at the 2012 Republican Convention, which had nominated Mitt Romney for the candidacy, playing on stage a conversation with an imaginary Barack Obama, personified by an empty chair.
