'I mean, it's a tough voice to listen to for four years. It could be a tough one,' Eastwood said of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton
'We're really in a p***y generation. Everybody's walking on eggshells,' the 86-year-old said.
'We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff. When I grew up, those things weren't called racist. Secretly everybody's getting tired of political correctness, kissing up.'
Eastwood, who spoke at the 2012 Republican convention and was widely criticized for speaking to an empty chair, went on to say Trump says what he is thinking.
'What Trump is onto is he's just saying what's on his mind,' he said.

'I mean, I can understand where he's coming from, but I don't always agree with it.'
When asked if he had to choose between Trump or Clinton, Eastwood said it was 'a tough one'.
'I'd have to go for Trump … you know, 'cause she's declared that she's gonna follow in Obama's footsteps,' Eastwood told Esquire when asked who he would choose between the two
Eastwood did not go as far as to endorse Trump in his interview, saying: 'What Trump is onto is he's just saying what's on his mind... sometimes it's not so good. And sometimes it is'
'I'd have to go for Trump … you know, 'cause she's declared that she's gonna follow in Obama's footsteps,' he told Esquire.
'There's been just too much funny business on both sides of the aisle. She's made a lot of dough out of being a politician.'
Continuing to discuss Clinton, the actor said: 'I mean, it's a tough voice to listen to for four years. It could be a tough one.'
