Robert De Niro’s disdain for Donald Trump is no secret. The two-time Academy Award winner has been an outspoken critic of Trump since his candidacy in the 2016 election. De Niro has used his platform to denounce Trump’s policies and behavior, often in harsh and unfiltered terms. From public speeches to interviews, De Niro has never held back in expressing his disapproval.
In 2018, during the Tony Awards, De Niro famously declared “F*** Trump” on live television, a moment that quickly went viral and cemented his position as one of Hollywood’s most vocal Trump detractors. His comments were met with both applause and backlash, reflecting the deep political divide in the country.
De Niro’s latest vow to leave the country if Trump returns to office was made during an interview with a prominent news outlet. “If the 45th president returns to the White House, I will leave this country for good,” De Niro stated unequivocally. “I cannot stay in a place where such a person is in power. It’s a matter of principle and moral responsibility.”
