While Robert De Niro has never made it a secret that he is no fan of President Donald Trump, it’s more so now than ever before. The Hollywood actor recently slammed the President for not conceding his loss to President-elect Joe Biden in a new interview. What’s more, he also seemingly criticized the over 71 million people who voted for Donald Trump in the Presidential election. Here’s what he has to say.
In an interview with Ari Melber on MSNBC, De Niro certainly had a lot to say about the topic. He started off his interview by making a claim that he’s made several times in the past, in which he thinks the Trump administration’s relationship with the public is like being trapped in an abusive relationship. De Niro also called Trump a “wannabe dictator.”
Robert De Niro Goes On The Record To Slam Donald Trump
He said, “It’s the same playbook as Mussolini, as Hitler, as wannabe dictators. It’s what they’re going to do for the people, make Germany great again, make Italy great again, make America great again. It’s all appealing to the worst prejudices, the worst weaknesses of the public and instead of leading them and guiding them and being someone that they can look up to. And when the public is not right, you have to be [there] to do the right thing and set an example for them. And if you don’t, then we’re going to be where we are today.”
He added: ”Thank God we’re out of this. We’re going to be in other things but thank God with Biden… he’s going to bring us into calm waters.”
De Niro certainly didn’t stop there, as he also questioned the millions of Americans who decided that it would have been a good idea to give Trump another four more years in the White House.
“I’m an actor, I do those parts, I enjoy them, but I’d like to even think in all of those parts there‘s a certain dignity somewhere buried in there that I don’t think a person like Trump, I know he doesn’t have,” De Niro explained. “There’s no center. You have to have a center no matter who you are… It’s like somebody defying gravity. They’ll never do it. That’s why we have rules, that’s why we have laws, that’s why we have judges, that’s why we have structure. If we don’t have that, we have nothing. We have chaos, we have anarchy.”
