Robert De Niro had a few choice words for President Donald Trump while the legendary actor was on stage at Sundays Tony Awards to introduce Bruce Springsteens musical performance.
Im going to say one thing, F Trump, De Niro said while pumping his fists in the air. Its no longer down with Trump. Its f Trump.
The political sentiment earned De Niro a standing ovation from the crowd at Radio City Music Hall, while CBS scrambled to bleep the audio on the live telecast. After the audience settled, De Niro got back to talking about Springsteen, who received a special Tony Award during Sunday night. The intimate show, Springsteen on Broadway or as De Niro referred to it, Jersey Boy features the Boss performing his music and sharing stories from his 2016 autobiography Born to Run. Tickets to the exclusive concert residency, which has been extended twice, are upwards of $850.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to get tickets for Bruce Springsteens show on Broadway? Its easier to get tickets for Hamilton, and thats got a much bigger cast, actual dancing and a history lesson, De Niro joked.
So when De Niro finally got the call to see Springsteen play live, he said yes without asking any questions.
Bruce, you can rock the house like nobody else, he said. And even more important in these perilous times, you rock the vote, always fighting for, in your own words, Truth, transparency, and integrity in government. Boy, do we need that now.

Kinda like Hitler used to get....EVERYBODY stands...lol
He got a standing ovation. Speaks volumes.
F Trump ... and low unemployment, a robust economy, jobs coming back to the US, a chance for peace in Korea. Yeah ... F all of that, right, DiNiro?
Pardon me, you misspelled Die-Niro. ;^}

For sure! I’m soooo tired of pompous celebrities continually giving themselves awards to stroke their egos, and using the award stag as political pulpit.
Hollywood decided a long time ago to be a major opposition party if you will. As “arteeests” (Artists) they see themselves and have always seen themselves as the Vanguard elite and as such possesses of the privilege of attacking anybody who stands in their way.
Let’s not ignore that they, and they alone provide us with obscene destruction, gun violence, doomsday scenarios, rampant sex (preferable to gun violence) and lots of “cool” behavior line smoking.
Politically active actors like De Niro and George Clooney. despite all their political associations and ravings are merely actors on this world stage and not real people at all.
~Well, of course, a standing ovation from like-minded lemmings.
Pity them all. Who remembers people who pretended to be someone (or something) else on a stage as great contributors to the world?
When DeNero’s name is a hiss in the wind and forgotten by everyone, not even a footnote in history, President Trump’s accomplishments will remain; peacemaker, innovator, and restorer of rights to individuals not only in the US, but throughout the world.
Homer, Ovid, Aristophanes, Shakespeare, Dante are all remembered and studied.
The actors who performed their works or chanted their poems? ~crickets~
Very true point!
Loved them both! Those were not only real actors, but real men.
Fortunately, it looks like all he was doing was reading lines. He didn't even begin to understand Michael Vronsky.

I just download what I want for free online.
I get the “entertainment”, they get no money.
Kidding aside, I really think he has lost his mind. This shows how weak DeNiro is as a man. Clearly he has allowed himself to be overtaken by this unjustified hatred, even to the point of soiling his own reputation while feeding off the affirmation of equally shallow and hateful people.
This is how he has chosen to spend his final years? Going on national television and dropping F bombs and spewing hatred? There’s nothing Trump could ever do to DeNiro that would harm him more than what DeNiro has done to himself.
I hope Trump chooses not to respond, he doesn’t need to.
You know what really sucks for me on a personal level? My favorite movie has always been Goodfellas. ugh
All of Hollywood must be unglued because they cheered him on.
what is that? a man or woman, or both, or neither???
Shame on DeNiro, but shame also on the classless glitterati for giving a standing O to such profanity.
FWIW:

Dilley has some pretty good intel sources.
I won’t watch the work of any actor or director who has attacked the president in a disrespectful manner.
Not even on netflix.
DeNiros nose sure looks like he has fallen into a booze barrel. Idiot.
Hollywood used to have some very good people.
Those days are gone forever.
