Hollywood actor Robert De Niro is back in the headlines — and not for a movie role.
The aging actor went on an unhinged tirade against President Donald Trump during an MSNBC interview Sunday, accusing the president of having “no empathy” and even calling him an “alien.”
“Trump does not understand anything about humanity or people,” De Niro ranted on MSNBC’s The Weekend. “He has no empathy. I don’t know what he is, but he’s an alien, and he wants to hurt this country.”
The 81-year-old actor — who’s become a poster child for Hollywood’s Trump Derangement Syndrome — went even further, claiming President Trump “wants to hurt people” and “doesn’t care” about America.
De Niro’s Anti-Trump Rage Hits New Level
De Niro has spent years attacking conservatives, but his latest comments may be his most extreme yet. Over the weekend, he promoted the far-left “No Kings Day” protest on Instagram, urging followers to rise up against Trump.
“The original No Kings protest was 250 years ago,” De Niro wrote. “Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away — King Donald I. F— that!”
The vulgar outburst shocked even some of his fans, who accused the actor of fueling hate and division instead of focusing on unity or real issues facing Americans — like inflation, immigration, and border security.
White House Fires Back: “He’s Washed Up”
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung didn’t hold back when asked about De Niro’s meltdown.
“Robert De Niro is washed up and hasn’t been relevant in 30 years,” Cheung told The Hill. “Now he just embarrasses himself by spewing hate speech and trying to stay relevant.”
Conservatives online echoed that sentiment, calling De Niro a symbol of elitist Hollywood hypocrisy — a millionaire actor attacking a president who’s fighting to rebuild American jobs, energy, and strength.
De Niro’s Political Obsession
De Niro once starred in some of Hollywood’s greatest films, but lately, he’s become better known for his obsession with politics. Last year, he even backed Kamala Harris’s doomed presidential campaign, appearing at rallies and tailgates urging fans to vote Democrat.
Critics say De Niro’s angry rants reflect Hollywood’s disconnect from the working-class Americans who support President Trump — people tired of being insulted by out-of-touch celebrities.
The Bottom Line
De Niro’s meltdown is just the latest example of how Hollywood elites can’t handle Trump’s comeback. While the film legend hurls insults on cable TV, President Trump continues to surge in polls, promising to restore law, order, and American pride.
And for millions of everyday Americans — that’s a show worth watching.
