Clint Eastwood, the 86-year-old four-time Oscar winner, excoriated the current generation of Americans as weak and overly sensitive while backing Donald Trump even though the Republican presidential hopeful has ¡°said a lot of dumb things.¡±

Eastwood, a prominent celebrity supporter of the Republican Party who appeared at its 2012 U.S. presidential nominating convention, offered a harsh assessment of Americans in an interview with Esquire magazine published on Wednesday.

¡°He¡¯s onto something because secretly everybody¡¯s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up,¡± the acclaimed actor and director said of Trump. ¡°That¡¯s the kiss-ass generation we¡¯re in right now. We¡¯re really in a pussy generation. Everybody¡¯s walking on eggshells.
