he actor is known to strongly dislike the president, as back in March he bashed Trump at a Fulfillment Fund fundraiser, \u201cA college education is important, but education without humanity is ignorance. Look at our president. He made it through the University of Pennsylvania, so he was exposed to a quality education, but he\u2019s still an idiot. And he lacks any sense of humanity or compassion,\u201d he said, according to the Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n

De Niro slammed Trump again in April during the opening night of the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival. \u201cAmerica\u2019s being run by a madman who wouldn\u2019t recognize the truth if it came inside a bucket of his beloved Colonel Sanders Fried Chicken,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

If #RobertDeNiro<\/a> wanted to say something edgy, he should have pointed out that our country is deeply divided, and that through theatre they have an opportunity to unite the us, even for just a few hours.<\/p>\n

But no, it was easier for him to remind 1\/2 the country they hate us. Weak.<\/p>\n
