In a recent post on his platform Truth Social, former President Donald Trump responded to Robert De Niro's criticism by calling the acclaimed actor a 'sick lunatic' with a 'very low IQ'. De Niro, known for his roles in iconic films such as 'Taxi Driver' and 'The Godfather', has been a vocal critic of Trump, and during a recent podcast appearance, he urged listeners to unite against Trump and work to restore the country.

De Niro's comments came after he accepted a lifetime achievement award at the Cannes Film Festival last year, where he strongly criticized Trump, describing him as a shallow president. This exchange underscores the ongoing feud between the actor and the former president, illustrating the political divide where cultural figures feel compelled to engage in political discourse in response to prevailing governance.

Trump's remarks not only targeted De Niro but also expanded to include attacks on Democratic lawmakers such as Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. This incident reflects Trump's strategy of utilizing social media to directly confront his critics, maintaining his base's loyalty while simultaneously igniting controversy that resonates within his political narrative.
