In a surprising turn of events, Hollywood actor Robert De Niro has made headlines for his support of President Biden’s reelection campaign. The 80-year-old Academy Award winner appeared at former President Trump’s hush money trial, where he expressed his disbelief that Trump was elected in the first place.
De Niro, known for his outspoken criticism of Trump, described the former president as a “monster” and expressed his fear of Trump making a comeback. In a fundraising pitch to Biden supporters, De Niro emphasized the importance of preventing Trump from returning to the White House, urging donations to support Biden’s reelection bid.
During his appearance outside the Manhattan courthouse where Trump’s trial was taking place, De Niro accused Trump of wanting to “sow total chaos” and warned of the dangers of a Trump presidency. Trump, in response, called De Niro “wacko” and accused him of suffering from “Trump derangement syndrome.”
De Niro praised Biden as a “lifelong public servant with great personal integrity” and contrasted him with Trump, whom he described as a “wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics.” De Niro’s support for Biden comes after filming a campaign ad for the president and reiterating his belief in Biden’s ability to lead the country with compassion and honesty.
As the political landscape heats up with the possibility of Trump’s return to power, De Niro’s vocal support for Biden adds an interesting twist to the ongoing debate over the future of American politics.
