Robert De Niro, a Democrat, was spotted at the end of May outside the Manhattan courtroom where Donald Trump was being tried for using hush money. De Niro was present at a Joe Biden campaign event.
Taking advantage of the occasion, De Niro advised people not to support Trump in the next presidential election. According to him, Trump aspires to “ruin not just the city, but the whole country.”
De Niro told reporters outside the courthouse, “We’ve forgotten the lessons from history when we didn’t take certain leaders seriously until they turned into cruel dictators. With Trump, we have a chance to stop him by voting him out.”
He continued, “I’m not trying to scare you. Well, maybe I am. If Trump stays in power, he won’t leave.”
He was not universally agreed with. De Niro was chastised by irate Trump fans for his remarks.
The “Raging Bull” actor tries to defend himself by saying, “You’re not going to scare us. That’s what Trump does, tries to scare people. We have to fight back.”
