On yesterday’s edition of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” actor Robert De Niro was refreshingly direct regarding the confirmed Republican presidential candidate. He quickly called Donald Trump a “damn idiot.”
Which rightly may not be the most constructive contribution to the discussion regarding the coming election. But De Niro quickly followed up by saying that Trump was not just an idiot, but a dangerous idiot and that everyone should therefore use their voice.
He also said that he would never play Trump as an actor because he doesn’t see any positive qualities in him.

The background
Robert De Niro has often been critical of Trump in the past and has never shied away from using unpleasant expressions.
The dispute between the two picked up steam once more last November. The film “Killers of the Flower Moon,” in which De Niro starred, was honored at the Gotham Awards.
De Niro then gave his acceptance speech, but following a short time he realized that the entire text might not be found on his teleprompter. Apparently the organizers had deleted the political positions shortly beforehand.
But De Niro pulled out his cell phone and read out the entire speech. In the deleted part, criticism of Donald Trump was particularly loud. He said, among other things:
“The former president lied to us more than 30,000 times during his four years in office and he is keeping up the pace with his current revenge campaign.”
Trump’s response to the speech didn’t take long to arrive. On his Truth Social platform, he called De Niro a total failure.

Trump alludes to De Niro’s damaged reputation in his post. He himself came under criticism when a former employee of his sued him in a civil lawsuit.
Robert De Niro recently appeared once more on various late night shows to promote his new film “Ezra”.
Trump became the topic once more on “Real Time with Bill Maher” four days ago:
“If you vote for Trump, you’ll have the nightmare. If you vote for Biden, we will soon be back to normal.”

In yesterday’s edition of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” De Niro finally didn’t mince his words, but you already know this part.
