You Trumpanzees are suckers for misattributions of authorship.
Remember, we're talking about a guy who talked to a chair at the '12 GOP convention, to truly embarrassing effect.
But even the chair talker preferred Bloomberg for president after not suffering the fat orange fool gladly for 3 years.

Clint Eastwood's 'American tragedy'
The claim: Actor Clint Eastwood authored a pro-Trump post
A widely shared post circulating on social media claims actor and director Clint Eastwood is the author of a lengthy post that praises President Donald Trump.
“I love when people call Trump Stupid,” the post begins. “You mean the multi-billionaire who kicked every Democrats butt, buried 16 career Republican politicians and continues to make fools out of once reputable news organizations...You mean the guy who won the presidency? You mean the guy with the supermodel wife? You mean the guy whose words alone put a massive slow down on illegal border crossings?”
The post concludes with, “See the spirit of Trump supporting and freedom loving Americans and just imagine where we could be as a country if everyone had the same priorities.”
Other users shared similar versions of the post, some sharing the statement along with a photo of Eastwood.
USA TODAY reached out to the users for comment
While Eastwood has previously held political office and is known as a Hollywood conservative, there is no evidence he wrote the letter.
In 1986, Eastwood was elected mayor of Carmel, California. He decided to run for mayor due to conflicts with the City Council, according to BBC.
Eastwood also made an appearance at the Republican National Convention in 2012 to endorse then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
However, in February, the legendary actor-director expressed support for former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg as president.
Eastwood told the Wall Street Journal that while he approved of “certain things that Trump’s done” he wanted to see Trump behave “in a more genteel way, without tweeting and calling people names. I would personally like for him to not bring himself to that level.”
Other fact-checking sites also previously debunked the claim in January when it first appeared.
Our ruling: False
The claim that Clint Eastwood is the author behind the viral "I love when people call Trump stupid" post is FALSE, based on our research.
An almost identical version of the text is from a letter to the editor to a local paper from a New Hampshire state representative. There is no evidence Eastwood wrote the post.
