The Beef Between Donald Trump And Robert De Niro Explained

Robert De Niro attracted the ire of Donald Trump in 2018 after the A-lister bashed the then-president at multiple awards shows. When presenting Meryl Streep with the best actress award at the National Board of Review Awards, De Niro chose to use the platform to talk politics. “This f***ing idiot is the president,” he said about Trump in January 2018, per CBS News. “It’s ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ — the guy is a f***ing fool,” the “Casino” star added.

Later that year, De Niro again shared several four-letter words when speaking about the then-president. “It’s no longer ‘Down with Trump,’ it’s ‘f*** Trump,'” De Niro said while presenting Bruce Springsteen at the Tony Awards in June 2018. Those harsh words caught the attention of Trump, who shared a theory about De Niro on X, formerly Twitter. “Robert De Niro, a very Low IQ individual, has received to many shots to the head by real boxers in movies,” Trump tweeted in June 2018. Trump added that De Niro had missed how well the economy had performed with him in office. “Wake up Punchy!” Trump wrote.

The following year, the “Heat” star shared his fears about Trump doing anything to stay in power. Speaking to The Independent in November 2019, De Niro suggested that if Trump were re-elected, he may start a war to remain in office. Even when Trump was out of office, De Niro continued to bash him.
