In yet another jaw-droppingly entertaining incident out of the woke Hollywood establishment, far-left actor Robert De Niro totally lost it when commenting on President Donald J. Trump during an interview with MS NOW (formerly MSNBC), during which he went absolutely ballistic over the president’s comments and even started crying about them.
As background, De Niro, while formerly well-respected and generally well-liked even in more conservative venues, has a serious case of Trump Derangement Syndrome and has totally lost it over how the president has ruled, acted, and campaigned, more or less from the beginning, becoming notorious and quite derided as a result.
So, when the rabidly and radically anti-Trump actor appeared on Nicolle Wallace’s MS NOW podcast to rant and rave about Trump, his typically hysteric and nonsensical commentary was no real surprise, even if it was absurd and disappointing to see a once-great actor reduced to clutching his pearls on a podcast.
During the podcast, for example, the woke actor went totally berserk and insisted that President Donald Trump, regarded by most who meet him and don’t become his enemies as a relatively kind and positive man, as “sadistic” and “cruel”. Not done, he went on to mock Trump as “triggered” by “real men” with “displays of actual strength.”
Adding to that ridiculous claim, the leftist actor defended Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), a frequent enemy and target of the president’s, saying that the senator is a hero because he flew jets decades ago, and President Trump is insecure about the senator because “He knows he’s never experienced or displayed anything like that in his life.”
Ignored there was that, unlike either De Niro or Sen. Kelly, President Trump has been shot in the head, and he responded with commendable bravery to the gunfire that struck him in the ear, jumping up and yelling “fight, fight, fight” while pumping his fist in response to the shocking and unexpected attack in Butler, PA.
In any case, De Niro wasn’t done there. Continuing to rant and ramble about the president and what he is doing, De Niro insisted that woke Americans need to “save” America from Trump, saying, “The story is our country, and Trump is destroying i,t and who knows what his reasons are, but it’s sick, it’s f*cked up. We have to save this country.”

Continuing, the actor got choked up and brought to tears while snapping that the president should be “lifting people up,” adding, “You have to bring them together. You can’t divide people you can’t win that way.” Given that De Niro is known for calling Trump and his supporters “Nazis”, it was a bit rich to see him crying over Trump being divisive.
But the segment continued, and when Wallace gushed that she was going to cry too, and then said that now is the time to “resist, resist, resist”, De Niro responded by saying, “I don’t know. All I know is people have to have to resist, resist, resist. There’s no easy way. It’s not going to come to you easy.”
He continued by saying, “You know, there’s a time when you know in your own life and your own survival You better do this. You better jump and run through the fire because if you don’t run through the fire, you’re not getting out and that’s what we have to do.”
Watch them here:
Robert De Niro is crying, saying that he lifts people up whilst calling Trump “that thing” and saying that Trump intentionally divides the country and is trying to destroy America.
If lacking self-awareness had a face, it would be the face of De Niro.
