Robert De Niro on Thursday called on people to take to the streets to protest President Trump in an upcoming “No Kings Day” on Oct. 18.
“The original No Kings protest was 250 years ago,” De Niro said in a video shared on the Indivisible Project’s Instagram page. “Americans decided they didn’t want to live under the rule of King George III. They declared their independence and fought a bloody war for democracy.”
“We’ve had two and a half centuries of democracy since then, often challenging, sometimes messy, always essential,” the actor continued. “And we fought in two world wars to preserve it. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away, King Donald I. F‑‑‑ that!”
“We are rising up again this time, non-violently raising our voices to declare no kings,” De Niro said. “We’re all in this together, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
Across the country, 2,000 “No Kings” protests are scheduled for Oct. 18, according to one of the Indivisible Project’s Facebook accounts.
A frequent critic of Trump, De Niro called him “America’s philistine president” while at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
“In my country, we are fighting like hell for the democracy we once took for granted, and that affects all of us,” De Niro said in a speech after he accepted the Palme d’Or lifetime achievement award.
“That affects all of us here because the arts are democratic,” he continued. “Art is inclusive, it brings people together, like tonight. Art looks for truth. Art embraces diversity. And that’s why art is a threat. That’s why we are a threat to autocrats and fascists.”

Can’t walk far in lifts...
It’s such a shame because he was a good actor. But after all these totally unhinged rants, I can never watch him again without seeing the deranged person.
I don’t know of any king that gets elected.
Why are these people that constantly talk about “saving democracy” suddenly against democracy?
He should be jailed as an insurrectionist since they won’t do it for his sex crimes.
High functioning? I’m sure you have valid sources. But that’s difficult to believe.

Everyone should have. It’s working. We have no kings.
