Robert De Niro has given Donald Trump quite the X-rated epithet.
On Tuesday evening, while introducing Meryl Streep at the National Board of Review Annual Awards Gala, the A-lister launched into a profanity-filled tirade about the Cheeto-In-Chief. YASSS. Speak your truth, Bobby!!

According to the transcript provided by The New York Times, the 74-year-old dropped:
“This fucking idiot is president. It’s The Emperor’s New Clothes – this guy is a fucking fool.”
PREACH. De Niro didn’t stop there, as he continued:
“Our baby-in-chief – the jerkoff-in-chief, I call him – has put the press under siege, ridiculing it through trying to discredit it through outrageous attacks and lies. And again, just like in 1971, the press is distinguishing itself with brave, exacting journalism…”
Hear! Hear!
Robert was inspired to get political in his speech as he was presenting Meryl with the best actress award for playing Katharine Graham in The Post, a film about how a newspaper took on President Nixon and his administration during the Pentagon Papers scandal.
The Taxi Driver star further roasted the reality TV star turned politician as he quipped:
“The movie gave us glimpses of President Nixon as delusional, narcissistic, petty, vindictive, nasty and batshit fucking crazy… Ah, the good old days.”
HIGHlarious. Bob’s words clearly resonated with several people as fans have since weighed in on Twitter:
Sees Robert De Niro is trending. Is he dead, or is he a sexual harasser?
Neither, he’s a f**king legend.

“No one cares what celebrities like Robert De Niro have to say about politics!”
– people who elected a celebrity to run their country

The people that say Robert De Niro should “stick to acting” are the same people who voted for a reality TV star with zero political experience

The irony of course is that Robert De Niro didn’t say anything about Trump that his own cabinet members, Rupert Murdoch and his rich supposed friends don’t reportedly say about him. He just said it in De Niro-ese (with lots of cussing).

This isn’t the first time Robert’s laid into the Trumpster during a high profile speech as, prior to the 2016 election, the celebrated actor called the then-Republican nominee “insane” while at the Hollywood Film Awards. He has since gone on to label POTUS a “flat-out blatant racist” and has dubbed Donald’s presidency as “a horror.”
In all seriousness, bless De Niro. He’s doing a public service!!!
