For Donald Trump, Robert De Niro is a "sick person with a disturbed mind"
Donald Trump criticized Robert De Niro on his Truth Social platform, calling him mentally disturbed after De Niro's comments urging Americans to resist Trump’s administration.
In a recent social media post on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump launched a sharp attack against actor Robert De Niro, labeling him a "sick person with a disturbed mind." This tirade followed De Niro's remarks on the podcast 'The Best People,' where he called on citizens to resist Trump's administration in order to "save the country." Trump's comments reflect his ongoing contentious relationship with Hollywood figures and continuing opposition from public personalities.
Trump's critique did not stop with De Niro. He also targeted other prominent political figures, including Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, implying that they too share a similar anti-Trump sentiment. His choice of words highlighted his disdain for those who express criticism against his administration, revealing potential electoral strategies aimed at energizing his base while disparaging his opponents in American politics.
This exchange underscores the growing divide in American political discourse, especially between conservative and liberal figures in the public sphere. Trump's comments could resonate with his supporters who view De Niro's outspokenness as symptomatic of a broader political and cultural battle, framing it as a narrative of cultural warfare against Hollywood elites who challenge his presidency.
