President Trump lashed out at Robert De Niro on Tuesday after the actor was cheered at Sunday’s Tony Awards for saying. “Fuck Trump,” before describing the president’s posturing over trade as “idiotic behavior.”
“Robert De Niro, a very Low IQ individual, has received to many shots to the head by real boxers in movies. I watched him last night and truly believe he may be ‘punch-drunk,’ Trump tweeted.
“I guess he doesn’t… realize the economy is the best it’s ever been with employment being at an all time high, and many companies pouring back into our country. Wake up Punchy!” he continued.
