Robert De Niro breaks down in tears after making bold claim about Donald Trump

For years, Robert De Niro has been an outspoken critic of Donald Trump. The veteran actor, known for his direct style, again drew attention after delivering a passionate and sharply critical message about the current president.

Speaking on The Best People With Nicole Wallace, De Niro did not hold back. He portrayed the United States as a country in serious trouble, accusing Trump of causing deep harm.

During the interview, the 82-year-old said the nation must be saved, using strong language to describe what he believes is happening. He labeled Trump an “enemy of this country” and urged Americans to unite in response.

De Niro argued that removing one leader would not automatically solve the problem. Even if Trump were no longer in office, he warned, the broader political movement behind him would continue to shape the landscape.

Host Nicole Wallace praised the actor for encouraging unity, which led to an emotional moment. Fighting back tears, De Niro stressed the importance of lifting people up and rejecting division.

Reflecting on today’s political climate, the Taxi Driver star said he finds the current situation difficult to comprehend and believes citizens must actively defend democracy.

Previously, in a video for Indivisible, he compared Trump to a monarch, referencing America’s break from royal rule. His remarks highlight the intensity of political debate, drawing both strong support and sharp criticism.
