DeNiro wanting people to think he's a big tough guy
Posted on 10/11/2019 8:12:13 AM PDT by RummyChick
Robert De Niro has described Donald Trump as a 'weird twisted president who thinks he's a gangster'.
But the veteran Hollywood star said that the US president does not have the same 'honor' that is often portrayed by characters in gangster films.
De Niro, who is known for starring in a number of mafia and mobster-themed films over the course of his decades-long Hollywood career – talked about the genre's ongoing appeal.
The star of The Godfather Part II and Goodfellas, who is a vocal critic of Trump, appeared on the BBC's The Graham Norton Show.
He said: 'Today, we have a weird twisted president who thinks he's a gangster, who's not even a very good gangster.
'Gangsters have honor, you shake a hand and they have your word and you have theirs and that's it. But with this guy, it's not the case.'
The actor has joined forces director Martin Scorsese, his long-time collaborator, for new gangster film The Irishman, which also stars Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and Harvey Keitel, actors he has worked with on numerous occasions.
De Niro went on to describe how gangster films continue to captivate the public's imagination.

What is a De Niro?
Why do we give a shi...er...give an Obama what it says?
Sorry, actor, but you folks have given up all respect around 100 years or so ago.
Shove it.
Senility, Leftism and celebrity ... now there’s a fearsome trio.
What kind of idiot thinks “gangsters” have honor.
Sheesh, what a mental midget.
He buys his own fairy tales. I guess it goes with the territory. Act a role and you think you are capable of doing it. What a joke.
Time for Bobby to go yell at another woman.
It’s the only way the old pusi can release his frustrations.
sez the guy with an IQ not more then 70.
I went and saw Joker the other night. My favorite part was De Niro getting shot .
Bobby has issues. He needs professional help.
FUMidget
The clips I have seen seem to indicate Deniro is playing a character that is like him. Obnoxious.
“I’m not a mobster, but I play one in the movies.”
‘Gangsters have honor, you shake a hand and they have your word and you have theirs.
There were 5 mafiosi in my family..maybe more...all deceased.
I grew up knowing MANY...not friends...acquaintances.
I never met ONE, including family, whose word was good.
My Father was a good man. He wanted no part of that world.
YES, they were good to family, but even then I wouldn’t trust them 100 percent.
De Niro is a class A MORON
Joker shoots Murray. Surprised Youtube hasn’t taken this down yet

> Gangsters have honor, you shake a hand and they have your word and you have theirs and that’s it <
I guess that was Jimmy Hoffa’s undoing. He forgot to shake hands.
Cliche stereotypes about honorable gangsters ...
1. What does Robert Deniro know about gangsters other than the romanticized bullshyte he’s seen in movies?
2. How does he know that Donald Trump’s handshake isn’t his bond? Has he ever shaken hands with the man?
Do another line of coke, Bob, and pass out somewhere.
this is where he actually gets up and shoots Deniro again
