Actor Robert De Niro slammed President Trump during an appearance on The View, saying he and his family behave worse than a mob family.
“I don’t want my kids to take this the wrong way, but if my kids did what these kids did, I wouldn’t want to be related to them. I would disown them,” the actor said Monday on the show. “I’d have a serious talk with them — I’d have a serious talk with them. First of all, it’s an impossibility. My kids are not like that, of course.”
De Niro, 76, also said during the show that Trump was worse than any character he played in a movie. The actor played a young, murderous mob boss in the Godfather series. He also played a spree killer in the movie Taxi Driver.
De Niro portrayed special counsel Robert Mueller for Saturday Night Live, which he has called “my civic duty.” He said earlier this year that he wanted Mueller to put Trump in prison. “I might even be happier the day that Mueller puts him in handcuffs, takes him in an orange jumpsuit, and puts him away for a long time,” he said.
In 2018, De Niro yelled at the Tony Awards that it is “no longer ‘Down with Trump,’ it’s ‘f— Trump.'” He received a standing ovation for his rant.
