“Maybe [Obama] will [punch Trump] when he sees him,” De Niro said.
De Niro, the legendary actor who played boxer Jake Lamotta in 1980’s Raging Bull, has addressed comments he previously made in the past about wanting to punch Donald Trump in the face.
In a video message encouraging Americans to vote, De Niro described Trump as “a punk”, “a dog”, “a bozo”, “a pig”, “a con”, “a mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about”, “a bullshit artist” and “an embarrassment to this country”. He went on to say: “He’s an idiot. Colin Powell said it best: he’s a national disaster… He talks how he’d like to punch people in the face… Well, I’d like to punch him in the face.”
Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live after the U.S. election result, which saw Trump beat rival Hillary Clinton to become US President, De Niro told the host that he was “not feeling good”.
Asked about his physical threats towards Trump, DeNiro said: “I can’t do that now. He’s the president and I have to respect that position… We have to see what he’s gonna do, and how he’s really gonna follow through on certain things. As we even see now, in a lot of cities, a lot of people are getting very upset and protesting.”
“Maybe [Obama] will [punch Trump] when he sees him,” De Niro added. Watch below.
