Hollywood star Robert De Niro is back to slamming Donald Trump in public, calling support for the former president “insane” during a press conference Sunday at the Cannes Film Festival.
De Niro also compared Trump to the murderous villain in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.
In the new movie, which had its world premiere this weekend at Cannes, De Niro plays William Hale, a cattle baron who was convicted in 1929 of murdering a member of the Osage nation over oil rights.
The actor told reporters that evil still exists in the world, and former president Trump is a manifestation of it.
“We see it today, of course. We all know who I’m going to talk about but I won’t say the name — because that guy is stupid. Imagine if you’re smart. Even Hale was smart in many ways. It’s something that is systemic, and that’s the scary part about it.”
Later, he reportedly added: “Look, with Trump, there are people who still think he can do a good job.
Imagine how insane that is.”
Killers of the Flower Moon, which was co-financed by Paramount and Apple, is set to open in cinemas in October before a streaming debut on Apple TV+ whose date has yet to be announced.
The movie, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Lilly Gladstone, is based on the non-fiction bestseller by David Grann that recounts the murders of Osage Indians in Oklahoma during the 1920s over control of their oil rights.
During the Trump administration, Robert De Niro frequently expressed his personal hatred of the president, often using profanity.
As Breitbart News reported, the actor yelled “Fuck Trump!” multiple times on stage at the Tony Awards in 2018.
His verbal harangue elicited a standing ovation from the audience.

Uber-liberal Deniro is a moron… or a communist. Pick one.
President Trump did do a great job for the American people. but when you hate America as much as this piece of schiff does you say a lot of hateful stupid things.
Whatsdamatter deNiro – afraid you won’t get any more parts? With this attitude, even if you do, you’re sunk so enjoy the rest of your ride down.
DimWitt-DinEar-O is starting to believe his own ‘tough guy rolls’…but IF this guy ever met a REAL Murderer, he’d cry like a baby. He has Little Intelligence to speak his OWN words, and thus, must repeat those who a guy writes for him. POTUS Trump IS an intelligent, businessman who DID turn around this Republic, that was crumbling under the Obama Regime of
his corruption and hatred of ‘Arrogant(his words) America’…This, is going to continue as they are getting ready to SHOVE Michelle into the picture to continue ‘America’s Downfall’…..Ready for that DeNiro, with ALL your kids who will inherit ….ZILCH, and NO FREEDOMS THAT THEY ARE GOING TO ERODE UNDER THEIR MARXIST AGENDA?
BTW: We who DID vote for ‘The Outsider Trump, KNEW that D.C. Was/IS
a ‘Cesspool of Corruption’ and we were circling the drain under Obama, and his Corrupt Adm. but it was POTUS Trump who DID ‘MAGA’ and if you want to Bash us, you may also, be “Thanking us for at least HIS four years of success for ALL Americans, including your liberal ash!

The arrogant, self-important actor who has too much ego, and irks me with his preaching, confirms my opinion of him.
What’s insane is how these actors, once held in esteem for their acting abilities have trashed themself, their movies and industry by opening their big pie holes about politics; which only makes people resent them and hate them. asshole
Why does a has been feel the need to demean half the country, or why would we care what he thinks?
