Even though Trump isn’t in the White House anymore, the former businessman-turned-politician remains a controversial figure.
De Niro isn’t a fan of Trump, and he’s made that clear.
“I’m gonna say one thing.
F*** Trump,” the actor told the live audience (perThe Guardian).
“It’s no longer down with Trump.
It’s f*** Trump.”
This came after De Niro had already gotten in trouble in 2017 for threatening violence against Trump.
“He’s so blatantly stupid.
He continued: “I’d like to punch him in the face.”
After Trump won the presidency, the actor somberly retracted his statement.
Moving forward, De Niro remained outspoken against Trump throughout his term, albeit refraining from any violence.
“I watched him last night and truly believe he may be ‘punch-drunk’.”
“What he’s been saying is really totally crazy, ridiculous … he is totally nuts.”
At the time, Trump was making large claims while gunning for the presidential seat.
When Trump won the 2016 election, De Niro continued to criticize the then-president’s policies.
