Actor Robert De Niro confirmed that former US President Donald Trump should be kept out of the upcoming presidential elections in the United States, even if it requires re-electing current President Joe Biden without being able to move.
He added De Niro In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine last Wednesday, he said, “This person has become more than just a threat to the American presidency, and I hope people realize that and be careful, because his re-election will be a mistake that is not easy to address.”
The Oscar-winning American actor said that he initially thought that Trump would correct his positions when he was elected president, which did not happen.
De Niro, who has been critical of Trump since his emergence in politics, explained why he favors the president joe biden on Trump He said, “I think that if Biden is on a stretcher and cannot move anything except his eyes to nod yes or no, then that is the best.” He continued, “We need anything to get rid of Trump, and candidate Nikki Haley could be a good candidate as well. If she comes, she can at least expel him from office.” Presidential raceBut Biden is the best person at this stage.”
The actor’s comments come less than a month after his remarks at the Gotham Awards, where he took aim at the former president while presenting an award for the film “Killers of the Flower Moon,” co-starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone.
Teleprompter control
After the Gotham Awards ceremony, De Niro denounced the censorship of his speech, confirming that lines from his speech at the ceremony were “cut out” by the teleprompter at the time. Trump’s reaction came quickly, as he described De Niro as “unwatchable either in the movies or with the idiots who destroyed the Oscars.”
“His speech at the Gotham Awards was edited after he worked on it with writer Louis Friedman,” the actor told Rolling Stone, adding that a consultant “put something in the draft of the speech” about concerns about “Moonflower Killers” being taught in Oklahoma.
Martin Scorsese, director of “The Moonflower Killers,” commented in a statement to several media outlets about De Niro’s speech, saying: The Gotham Awards honored filmmakers and actors by honoring the historical icon and creator Robert De Niro, and the award acceptance speech was a space to honor our collaborators from the indigenous tribe “Osage.” (Osage), but an unfortunate misunderstanding occurred regarding the final version of De Niro’s speech.
