In a recent post on his social media platform Truth Social, President Donald Trump launched a personal attack against actor Robert De Niro, referring to him as 'a sick, disturbed mind'. This comment came after De Niro's public appeal urging for the removal of the Trump administration in order to 'save' the United States. Trump's remarks included derogatory comments about De Niro's mental state and intelligence, suggesting that the actor suffers from anti-Trump neurosis and lacks awareness of his statements, which Trump characterized as potentially criminal.

Trump also aimed his criticism at Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a Somali-American, and Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib from Michigan, suggesting that they are part of a larger issue that he believes undermines American values. In his post, Trump claimed that the current state of America is at its best, stating that it is 'larger, better, richer, and stronger than ever', implying that this prosperity is causing frustration among his political opponents. This reflects Trump's ongoing strategy of positioning himself as an outsider fighting against the establishment, despite being the sitting president.

De Niro’s original comments were made during an appearance on the podcast "The Best People", raising concerns over the Trump administration's conduct and urging fellow citizens to take action against what he perceives as detrimental leadership. This public clash highlights the continuing polarization in American politics and the personal animosities that play out between political figures and celebrities, often drawing significant public attention and media coverage.
