The longtime feud between Robert De Niro and President Donald Trump has escalated once again.
Actor Robert De Niro has been very vocal about his criticism of Donald Trump and recently publicly blasted the president and his administration, calling the president “an idiot.”
During an appearance on Nicolle Wallace’s The Best People podcast, he said: “We gotta get rid of him. He’s gonna ruin the country. I don’t want everybody going around with their MAGA, the American flags, like they’re the only ones. We are Americans too,” according to VT.
De Niro criticizing Trump
While hosting a political event called the State of the Swamp, a reference to Trump’s State of the Union address earlier that day, De Niro said he had a sense of “betrayal” toward his country and argued that the U.S. needed to return to the principles he believed had made the country strong.
“It doesn’t have to be perfect, but it does need to return to the values that gave us our strength and humanity.
“If you want our leaders to be accountable, if you’re devoted to the constitution and the rule of law, if you want the United States of America to be worthy of your love, be ready to take to the streets together, and we will take our country back.”
Trump soon made it clear that he did not appreciate De Niro’s comments.
Called the actor “sick” and “demented”
The president took to Truth Social, where he first lashed out at Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib over their behavior during the State of the Union, saying they were harmful to America and should be sent “back from where they came.”
