Former President Donald Trump called Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro a “wacko” after he made an appearance at campaign event for President Joe Biden outside the Manhattan courthouse where Trump’s “hush money” case continued on Tuesday. And that’s pretty much the same thought we all had about De Niro after beholding his irate and unhinged behavior at the event. I think the “The Godfather II” star needs to get some therapy because he was definitely off his rocker with a number of the comments he made.
According to The Daily Wire, De Niro made the claim that American freedoms “will perish from the earth” if the former president gets a second term in the White House. That is a rather extreme statement. If we make those same claims about Biden the left throws a fit. If you’re a liberal hack like De Niro you can say and do anything you want.
“Under Trump, this kind of government will perish from the Earth. I don’t mean to scare you. No, no, wait, maybe I do mean to scare you. If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted,” De Niro stated during the speech, “And elections? Forget about them. That’s over, that’s done. If he gets in, I can tell you right now, he will never leave. He will never leave. You know that. He will never leave.”
The actor, who is 80, went on to say that “we don’t have a choice” but to cast a ballot for Biden “to preserve our freedoms and hold on to our humanity.”

Trump took to Truth Social that same evening where he said that De Niro “looked so pathetic and sad out there.”
“I never knew how small, both mentally and physically, Wacko Former Actor Robert De Niro was. Today, De Niro, who suffers from an incurable case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, commonly known in the medical community as TDS, was met, outside the Courthouse, with a force far greater than the Radical Left – MAGA,” Trump said in the post. “Robert, whose movies, artistry, and brand have gone WAY DOWN IN VALUE since he entered the political arena at the request of Crooked Joe Biden, looked so pathetic and sad out there. Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio!!!”
De Niro got into a bit of a back and forth with a few of Trump’s supporters outside the courthouse on Tuesday as well.
“You are gangsters!” De Niro reportedly shouted to which one man responded by telling the actor he was “washed up.”
“F*** you!” De Niro yelled in response.
The press event featuring De Niro marks an increase in the Biden campaign’s focus on Trump’s ongoing criminal trial and could preview a new strategy from Biden as the trial nears its end. The president has stayed quiet on Trump’s hush-money case throughout the campaign, but a report from POLITICO last week cited “four people familiar with internal deliberations” in the Biden administration who said the president is planning to address the trial from the White House once the jury reaches a verdict.
De Niro is your typical left-wing hack, a man who has ingested the Kool-Aid and is coming back for refills. It’s a sad way to wrap up a historic acting career.
