Far-left actor Robert De Niro has joined a very exclusive club of Hollywood stars who have vulgarly compared Donald Trump to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and baselessly claimed the former president’s reelection is “freaking scary.”
In a recent interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, De Niro quoted himself calling Trump a “con man” and declared, “To me, he’s much more than that,” before adding that he thinks Trump is “sick.”
“He’s a really, really sick human being who somehow made his way into our system,” the actor opined. “I’m tired of bashing him. He should never be anywhere near the presidency.”
Ruhle repeated a question De Niro has been asked many times recently: “You’ve played a lot of bad guys, but would you ever play Donald Trump?” To which De Niro replied, “Absolutely not. There’s nothing about him… there’s nothing redeeming about him that I can find.”
“It’s funny, I thought he’d really become president,” he continued, without providing any empirical evidence to back up his delusional claim, before accusing De Niro of “doing good things.” [and] Instead, he had to do it all wrong. As we all know, he is very narcissistic and self-centered.”
When asked what his message would be to voters who don’t like Trump but will vote for him in the next presidential election, De Niro declared, “I don’t get it. I don’t think they realize how dangerous he would be if he became president, pray to God.”
“I don’t think they really get it,” he further argued. “And historically, as far as I can see, even Nazi Germany did the same thing with Hitler: Don’t take him seriously. He looks like a clown, he acts like a clown. Same with Mussolini.”
De Niro, who had said moments earlier he was tired of bashing Trump, went on to call the former president a clown, adding, “These people seem to be clowns for some reason, and for some reason people… that element of society sympathizes with Trump in a way, and it’s going to be a mess beyond any of us can imagine.”
“There is no mystery [Trump]”He’s on the front lines and if he becomes president he’s going to get what he says,” De Niro continued, saying that the country’s democracy would be at risk if Trump wins the election.
“I always say this [that] “Democracy is great, but people take democracy for granted. Some people don’t understand the word democracy. They take it for granted,” the actor lamented. “What matters is right and wrong. That’s all.” [Trump] He’s a monster. He’s wrong.”
He went on to make the unfounded accusation: “It’s almost as if he’s trying to do the most horrible thing he can think of to piss us off. I don’t know what it is, but he keeps doing it. It’s really horrifying.”
De Niro continued rambling, but said he was beginning to see parallels between Trump’s presidency and Nazi Germany, recalling the time when Eastern Europeans and Jews fled to the US during World War II. “When I was a kid, they said, ‘You guys don’t really appreciate this country, really. We know from experience,'” he said.
“Imagine what those people went through,” De Niro muses. “I’m only starting to understand. As a kid I said, ‘Hitler was a nightmare, it could never happen,’ but now I see it’s possible,” he adds, declaring Joe Biden’s re-election the only option left for America.
Of Biden, he said, “We have no choice. I think he’s the right person for the job. He’s trying to do the right thing. We have no choice. And I say that in a very positive way, in a good way.”
