Accepting a lifetime achievement award during Sunday's annual Screen Actors Guild awards, actor Actor Robert De Niro took a veiled jab at US President Donald Trump.

Stepping onto the stage to a rousing standing ovation and cheers at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Sunday evening, De Niro said, 'there´s right, and there´s wrong and there's common sense, and there´s abuse of power, and as a citizen I have as much right as anyone else ... to voice my opinion.'

'And if I have a bigger voice because of my situation, I´m going to use it whenever I see a blatant abuse of power. And that´s all I´m going say about that tonight,' the actor added.

I sat through his latest movie “The Irishman” only because my family was watching it, and it was horrible. One of the worst movies I ever saw in my life, and I say that not because DeNiro was in it, but because it WAS. I could not believe Martin Scorsese directed it, it was like watching some amateur crap made by a High school kid.

First off he had 80 year old guys making pretend they were 30 and it was laughable. Robert DeNiro in a fight scene and he could barely walk never mind punch and the guy he is fighting makes pretend he is getting his butt kissed, it was hilariously fake. And then Joe Pesci acting like he wanted to be any other place than there, barely showing one ounce of emotion. But the absolute worst was Al Pacino playing Jimmy Hoffa. It was like watching Lt. Col. Frank Slade with a bizarre wig glued to the top of his head “Oooo wah! I’m Jimmy Hoffa! ooo wah!” Just a total joke and of course Hollywood is going to shower it with awards.

Robert De Niro is really worried about his being a pedophile being revealed.

Think of the lifts he would have to wear to get to Trump's heighth. That would be a dangerous fall risk.
