Actor Robert De Niro went on an extreme tirade against former President Donald Trump during Tuesday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View.”
Beginning with a comparison of Nazi dictator Hitler, De Niro said that a second Trump presidency poses danger to the United States. According to him, enough people are not aware of the extent of the danger Trump poses if he gets reelected as president the second time come November.
“I don’t understand why people are not taking him seriously because you read about it historically in other countries that they didn’t take the people seriously. I think of Hitler and Mussolini,” he stated.
“Who does not think that this guy is going to do exactly what he says he’s going to do? He’s done it already. And then what? We’re going to sit around and say, what, we told you so — or whoever, I told you so. It’s going to happen. If he gets elected, it’s going to change this country for everybody. And they might think that it’s going to make their life better and they just want to — excuse my French —” he continued before the mic was cut for a while.

The sound came back on at some point while De Niro had shifted to Trump’s supporters, saying that they are only about “anger and hate.”
He later went back to his attack of Trump himself, saying, “He’s done everything. What more do you need?”
“It’s almost as if he wants to do the worst he can possibly do to show this country —” he added but his mic got cut again.
As seen in a video of the interview, the actor can be seen mouthing words even though he cannot be heard.
Later, host Whoopi Goldberg also made an unproven claim about Trump, saying that he plans to get reelected and stay in the White House until he dies.
Agreeing with Goldberg, De Niro stated, “It’s over. We’re going to have such civil strife.”
This would not be the first time the “Analyze This” star would go on a tirade against Trump and his supporters, as he said earlier in the month that there was “not one redeeming thing” about the Republican presidential candidate.
Trump fired back at the actor for that attack, calling him “a total loser.”
“Robert De Niro, whose acting talents have greatly diminished, with his reputation now shot, must even use a teleprompter for his foul and disgusting language. So disrespectful to our Country. He has become unwatchable both in movies, and with the FOOLS that destroyed the Academy Awards, bringing them from one of the top shows in the Country to a Low Rated afterthought,” Trump wrote in a post to Truth Social.
“De Niro should focus on his life, which is a mess, rather than the lives of others. He has become a total loser, as the World watches, waits, and laughs!” he added.
