Poor man. He never had much to say without a script. But I wonder if he isn't suffering from dementia at this point. It has gotten a bit bizarre and mono-syllabic even by Trump-hater standards.
Toasted Heretic
I wouldn't wish dementia on anyone, whether I agree with them or not.
De Niro is fine. Just speaking his mind in much the same way his nemesis does. It's a New York thing.

T clowns bringing up 'dementia' is curious given the age of their Leader :)

probably losing the plot.

Robert De Niro once again proving he has more class in his little finger than Trump has in total. And more intelligence also.

Really, people care about what De Niro Thinks? So he made a few movies, nothing spectacular, used his name from God Father success to ride through Hollywood. He reads scripted lines, what so special?
Trump is doing a good job, maybe not in your mind. But he's not a politician, and come on lets face you do not make a Billion Dollars and remain an Angel ok. You step on a lot of people to get to that peak. All you liberals who backed the Loser, should know as that Family has stepped on everyone!
Trump is doing what he promised, and that was to shake up politics, well guess what its happening! Trump 20/20 and if we happen to start a war on the way so be it, should not have gotten into the cross hairs of the military industrial complex called America, and if you don't like it, run for office and make a change! Otherwise buckle up as the ride be getting more exciting soon!

Why is any actor's political feelings news?
DeNiro can apologize to whoever he wants.
I'm sorry for much of the harm prior Presidents, CIA, military, and state dept officials have done all over the globe. Is that news?

Nobody did wish it on him. But that's not really a New York thing, it's more like a man falling into a character he played in his youth.

What's this? Telling it like is? Good for him.
Toasted Heretic
Taxi Driver, The Godfather 2, Once Upon a Time in America, Mean Streets, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Deer Hunter, The KIng of Comedy, Midnight Run, Heat... yeah, sure. Nothing spectacular.
His turn as a plumber/freedom fighter in Brazil, alone, would do it for me.

Well I'm glad somebody is telling the world that Spanky Don is not the United States. Trump is holding the USA hostage.

So no Canadians on JT then?

Not Deniro's fault. It's Trump that needs to apologize. DeNiro dropping the F-bomb about him (twice) was the truth, and how the majority of Americans feel. Canada knows it's not their fault -- Trump, after all, didn't even win the popular vote or get the vote of the majority.

Why?
Ok, so why is it, liberals with all their supposed education have to use foul language to describe someone? Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro do it in the most hilarious way without using foul language. Well, so much for liberal elitism.
Probabaly not that good. Ticket sales are going down, that should be a wise indicator...
Canada has a totally different system, our system is different. They don’t like our President and many of us don’t like their PM, even if he does have great hair and remember, it’s the EC that counts in the US, nothing else matters.

Hahaha
Any publicity is good publicity.

Gee, wouldn't it be nice if every country did that?
commanteer
It can be neither true nor false, it's just a vulgar utterance. No wonder the left and right can't agree on what's true....
wtfjapan
probably losing the plot. Id warrant a guess Trump will loose his mind long before De niro will.
Toasted Heretic
Like pssy, sons of btches, and all that?
People of all walks of life use colourful language. Have you never been to the UK or ROI?
So strange how profanities and nudity freak out the puritans but they're fine with gun violence, murder and bombing other countries.
'king Bobby De Niro. Legend.

Nan Des Uka: Trump is doing a good job, maybe not in your mind. But he's not a politician, and come on lets face you do not make a Billion Dollars and remain an Angel ok.....
Nope. It's pretty clear that however he started out, Trump is now a politician by either definition of the word.
Sam Whitte
Funny...an awfully long list of celebs who claimed they would be leaving the US if Trump won. Haven't seen any packed bags and renunciation of US Citizenship blowing up on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram over the last 1.5years.
Andrew Crisp
With the results of the Ontario election now in, and if its anything to go by Trudeau needs all the sympathy votes he can get because Trudeau and party looks like he is going to lose by a landslide.
Yuko Maeda
Interesting point, Sam Whitte. It's been awhile since many famous people stood high on that pedestal and pronounced their departure from America if Trump wins. Haven't seen any E-News, TMZ, etc articles reporting the pilgrimage of dozens of actors, musicians, etc from the USA.
starpunk
You absolutely right. I witnessed the cyberattack on election night and it disabled the whole Internet. Trump DID NOT win in 2016. And he doesn't represent the USA either. He's too immature and ill-mannered to be in a social gathering, let alone a diplomatic one.
