Robert De Niro slams Donald Trump in new interview

Robert De Niro has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump since his first term as President. The Taxi Driver star, who is also one of Hollywood’s greatest ever, has often used his platform to advocate for progressive causes and has vocally opposed several right-wing agendas.

During his latest appearance at the MS NOW podcast, The Best People, hosted by Nicolle Wallace, De Niro once again opposed the current developments under the Trump regime and asked Americans to come together.

“Trump is the enemy of this country, let’s not kid ourselves,” De Niro said, “It’s that simple. Everybody has to stick together to get them out and get back on track. We can all argue and fight about our little differences and all that. This is the big problem.”

This was followed by a discussion on the polarizing effect the current President has had. Wallace even reminded De Niro of his speech after he won Best Actor at the 1981 Oscars.

“You have to lift people up,” De Niro said with tears in his eyes. The actor continued, “You have to bring them together, period. You can’t divide people. You can’t win that way.”

Wallace suggested that people seek to understand “the human side” of the Trump era, but De Niro dismissed this, saying that “a great director will do a great story on this time. Someone will play Trump, and they’ll understand what it is, and much more that’s been learned in those years that can be done. But right now, it’s a survival thing with this country.”

De Niro further asserted that this was a “no-win” situation for the Americans at the moment. “It’s almost like destiny to have this thing there, attempting to destroy this country, and maybe not even understanding why. So it’s up to us to protect the country… We have to save the country,” he added.
