Hollywood star (and now father of seven) Robert De Niro is back to slamming Donald Trump in public, calling support for the former president “insane” during a press conference Sunday at the Cannes Film Festival.
De Niro also compared Trump to the murderous villain in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. In the new movie, which had its world premiere this weekend at Cannes, De Niro plays William Hale, a cattle baron who was convicted in 1929 of murdering a member of the Osage nation over oil rights.
The actor told reporters that evil still exists in the world, and former president Trump is a manifestation of it.
“We see it today, of course. We all know who I’m going to talk about but I won’t say the name — because that guy is stupid. Imagine if you’re smart. Even Hale was smart in many ways. It’s something that is systemic, and that’s the scary part about it.”

Later, he reportedly added: “Look, with Trump, there are people who still think he can do a good job. Imagine how insane that is.”
Killers of the Flower Moon, which was co-financed by Paramount and Apple, is set to open in cinemas in October before a streaming debut on Apple TV+ whose date has yet to be announced.
The movie, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Lilly Gladstone, is based on the non-fiction bestseller by David Grann that recounts the murders of Osage Indians in Oklahoma during the

This guy is a loser AND INSANE.
When this guy takes a Booster Nose Dive, I hope I don’t read our side offering thoughts and prayers.
“Robert De Niro Smears Trump Supporters as ‘Insane’ at Cannes Film Festival”
The only people who are ‘insane’ are the Conservatives who sit out elections (letting Democrats win) thinking that somehow the Republican Party will stop running RINO-types if they do that.
What is worse: insanity or derangement?
DeNiro suffers from both, so, he is hopeless.
Less than five minutes with de niro, he’ll be crying like the infantized adult he actually is.
So what?
People who live in cities think people who live in the country are stupid and insane...and vice versa.
That's life.
All that said, actors aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer. Everyone knows that, including people in the movie business.
Trump gets under his skin. I like that.
Oral projection from a mentally deranged sociopath.
Isn’t this the guy that keeps getting chased out of the park by angry parents for filming the little boys playing???
Bobby can stop catcalling Donald Trump, because Donald is already married to Melania!
That is correct.
Never an explanation, just orange man bad. If he could elucidate one point, just one, then he might not sound like such a moron. As it is, I can not extend any credibility to him.
DeNiro believes that a human male can magically turn into a human female just by saying so and he thinks we are insane?
L
I know several De Niro die hard fans that no refuse to watch any of his movies anymore over his comments about Trump. Before that, De Niro was their favorite actor.
Performers should just perform. That’s their job. No matter what they say politically, they will angry about 50% of their audience.
Crazy Bob went over the edge a long time ago. Typical extreme left-wing celebrity.
Melania would TOWER over that little shrimp.
Excellent actor. Despicable human being. A not uncommon mix in Hollywood.
Yeah we’re insane and those Biden supporters are perfectly logical.
