In a recent social media post, U.S. President Donald Trump criticized actor Robert De Niro, whom he described as 'sick and demented.' This outburst followed De Niro's emotional comments during a podcast where he expressed his dissatisfaction with Trump's administration and called on Americans to take action in the upcoming midterm elections to remove Trump from power. De Niro specifically referred to Trump as 'the enemy of this country,' urging citizens not to be deceived by any illusions regarding his potential departure from office.

De Niro made these remarks in Nicolle Wallace's podcast, 'The Best People', emphasizing the necessity of mobilizing public sentiment to expel Trump from the presidency. His statement reflects a broader discontent with Trump's leadership, which has galvanized many in the entertainment industry and beyond. The actor warned that if left unchecked, Trump would continue to harm the nation.

Trump's response indicates his ongoing combative stance against critics and public figures who oppose him. By labeling De Niro as 'mentally unstable' and questioning his intelligence, Trump is not only defending himself but also attempting to undermine the credibility of influential voices in the arts community who challenge his administration. This exchange illustrates the deep political divides in the U.S. and the increasing tensions between politicians and high-profile celebrities who are willing to speak out against them.
