Hollywood’s favorite foul-mouthed leftist, Robert De Niro, went on yet another deranged anti-Trump tirade Sunday on MSNBC, proving once again that fame and wisdom rarely go hand in hand. Appearing on *The Weekend*, the aging actor unloaded on President Trump and his administration with an unhinged rant that included multiple expletives — all while defending a disgraced Democrat currently facing criminal charges.
De Niro’s meltdown came during a discussion about the so-called “No Kings” protests that spread across the country on October 18 — a series of left-wing demonstrations denouncing President Trump’s efforts to restore law and order. Instead of condemning the radical mobs, De Niro praised them and the Democrats who’ve spent years weaponizing the system against Trump, including New York Attorney General Letitia James — who, ironically, was recently indicted for mortgage fraud.
“There’s something,” De Niro began, rambling incoherently before launching into praise for Democratic Party leadership. “I like Hakeem Jeffries. I like… Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff — they’re all great, strong.”
Then, without a hint of irony, De Niro praised Letitia James — the very same official accused of the kind of corruption he pretends to despise — for her anti-Trump crusade. “I like what Letitia James is doing,” he shouted. “She’s fighting back. She’s saying, ‘F*** you!’”
The MSNBC hosts awkwardly tried to keep the conversation on track as De Niro halfheartedly apologized for his outburst. “I’m sorry,” he said, before doubling down again. “This is where we are. It’s what she’s saying. ‘This is it. I will not be taken down by this person. I am not afraid of him.’ And God bless her for that.”
Social media users were quick to torch the once-great actor for his vulgar display. “Guy pretends to be a tough guy in films and thinks that makes him one in real life,” one commenter wrote on X. Another added, “Didn’t anyone ever think to write De Niro’s scripts with more variety in his wording? This will be his legacy — an angry old foul-mouthed man who also had an acting career.”
This wasn’t De Niro’s first profanity-laced tantrum over President Trump. The actor has made attacking Trump part of his brand — and his public meltdowns only seem to get worse. Earlier this year, he recorded a bizarre video promoting the “No Kings” protests, comparing them to the American Revolution.
“The original ‘No Kings’ protest was 250 years ago,” De Niro ranted, bizarrely linking his modern-day hysteria to the Founding Fathers. “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.”
He went on to ramble about “two and a half centuries of democracy” before unleashing another profanity-laced attack: “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, nonviolently raising our voices to declare ‘No Kings.’”
It’s yet another example of Hollywood elites completely losing touch with reality — multimillionaire actors pretending to be oppressed “revolutionaries” while cursing at the very man who put America back on its feet.
Robert De Niro might think he’s some kind of political prophet, but to most Americans, he’s become what he once played so convincingly on screen — a caricature of an angry old man yelling into the void.
