Accepting a lifetime achievement award during Sunday's annual Screen Actors Guild awards, actor Actor Robert De Niro took a veiled jab at US President Donald Trump.

Stepping onto the stage to a rousing standing ovation and cheers at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Sunday evening, De Niro said, 'there´s right, and there´s wrong and there's common sense, and there´s abuse of power, and as a citizen I have as much right as anyone else ... to voice my opinion.'

'And if I have a bigger voice because of my situation, I´m going to use it whenever I see a blatant abuse of power. And that´s all I´m going say about that tonight,' the actor added.

>>And if I have a bigger voice because of my situation, I´m going to use it whenever I see a blatant abuse of power.

So when is he going to call out Nanzi Peelousy about the Democrats’ fraudulent impeachment.

Will Bobby give any specific ways that Donald Trump has “abused” his power?

Did he ever call out Obama for his “I’ve got a phone and a pen and don’t need congress” style of rule?

De Niro: “I have as much right as anyone else ... to voice my opinion.” And I have as much right as anyone else to not give a dang what your opinion is.

Robbie and people like him are the reason the founding fathers added the 2nd amendment to the US Constitution. Robbie thinks he can use his wealth and bully pulpit to control the rest of us. He will inevitably want us killed but since he can not pull the trigger himself, he will work to get a government to do it for him. He already has the government protecting baby murdering concentration camps throughout this country.

This little clown, who is a high school drop out, is very jealous of President Trump.

President Trump is everything De Niro wish he was. Tall, married to a beautiful woman intelligent woman, successful Billionaire out of New York. President Trump is the real deal.

Little De Niro with his Napoleon syndrom of trying to be a mafia tough guy at 76 years old is a total joke.

Oh well I saw all his movies many times in the past. So I will not be missing anything. I could careless about “The Irishman” about the murder of Jimmy Hoffa. I never found that story very intriguing. That was a mafia at one time in America.

Have you seen the series “Narcos” on Netflix. The Latin American mafia is a lot more bloody and ruthless. So when you see shows like Narcos, and then go back to say to the old school. They do not seem so shocking.

Yeah Those shoes make him look like Bobby bandbox. All those guys you pattern your acting over bobbyyare all old gone or incarcerated. Most were nothing more then degenerate bums whom you seem to admire. My parents told me notice whom you hang with because you are known by the Company you keep. You are the paragon of that advice.

It’ so sad to see the affects of mental illness in the elderly take it’s toll.

Why doesn’t he get angry about Joe Biden’s abuse of power to make millionaires out of 5 of his family members?

As they say: Donald Trump lives rent-free inside Robert’s head.

Talk about an abuse of power. How about you clean your house first and then worry about the rest of the country.

What is ironic that he had one of his wives in Trump Tower before all this got started.

De Niro is not an American. He is a New Yorker

Funny how piles of government oversight, regulation, and control wasn’t abuse of power. But try to let citizens have more control of their own situations...look out.
