Robert De Niro, who is in Martin Scorsese’s film Killers Of The Flower Moon was unimpressed when he found out that his speech which he was about to deliver at Gotham Awards on November 27 had been edited to remove some remarks against former President Donald Trump.
True to his character, Trump did respond to the actor's comments.
What did Robert De Niro do?
While reading the speech from the teleprompter, the actor realised an entire section had been omitted. De Niro then continued to criticise Trump.
“The former president lied to us more than 30,000 times during his four years in office, and he’s keeping up the pace with his current campaign of retribution," said Taxi Driver actor.
He went on to say that Trump cannot hide his soul as he attacks the weak.
“With all of his lies, he can’t hide his soul.
He attacks the weak, destroys the gifts of nature and shows his disrespect for example using Pocahontas as a slur,” he added.
What did Trump say?
On social media platform 'Truth,' former United States President said: “Robert De Niro, whose acting talents have greatly diminished, with his reputation now shot, must even use a teleprompter for his foul and disgusting language, so disrespectful to our Country.”
“He has become unwatchable both in movies, and with the FOOLS that destroyed the Academy Awards, bringing them from one of the top shows in the Country to a Low Rated afterthought. De Niro should focus on his life, which is a mess, rather than the lives of others," said Trump.
He has become a total loser, as the World watches, waits and laughs," added Trump.
