Have you lost respect for De Niro?


I don't live in the US. But I know Trump is the new President & saw De Niro mocking the New President.

Have you lost respect for him? Or do you support him?

reply

He is one of the most respected actors ever. Plenty of people mock Trump. Trump is a creep!

reply

"Creep" just seems inadequate to cover what Trump has done or who he is. For that one would have to resort to obscentity or swearing or some very creative insults.

It's not really about Donald, but I find Bill Maher's nickname for Eric Trump, Douchebag Von F***face very appropriate. If he could amp that up by about 30 times that might fit Donald Trump.

reply

I won't lose respect for one of the greatest actors of all time bause he made negative comment about a fat trash bag who is supposedly a president.

And before anyone even starts on this, no I wasn't rooting for Clinton neither. Both are incompetent muppets who obviously don't know what being a president/politician involves. One is a corrupted hypocrite, the other is simply a 13 years old stock in an overweight 80 years old's body.

Both were jokes and the past elections were a total mess.

reply

Why would I lose respect for him because he mocked Trump? Trump is a joke, an insecure, mentally ill man-child.

I lost respect for De Niro because he's clearly lost his passion for acting yet continues to churn out terrible films purely for the money. He should have retired from acting decades ago and concentrated on his restaurant and hotel businesses, which are apparently where his heart lies.

reply

I thought "The Intern" was kind of cute. Passion for acting does not have to mean playing violent criminal psychopath roles does it?

reply

He’s a great actor and I love him in many of his films. Outside of film he’s just a 5’6 waiter who won the Hollywood lottery and he sounds like your typical uninformed leftwing buffoon when he talks about politics.

That said I’ll still love him in Casino and Midnight Run and Goodfellas and Cape Fear. He is a great actor.

reply

Sorry, but your comment makes me figure you are a typical uninformed rightwing buffoon when you talk about politics. Just like Trump - no substance, all bluster. The guy is an absolute joke, and how any self respecting American will support him is scandalous, traitorous. He thinks he can use high school bully tactics to run the USA. Shameful. Even with the state of politics being far off the rails, this idiot is an abomination, and that's how I felt about W and Rayguns. He's even worse, and this is what pubs want to get behind? No wonder education never gets funding from these creeps. They don't want people to be able to think for themselves. They are creating Dystopia, fake news, no civil rights other than to own guns and ask a christian god to fix everything, and spend all our taxes on military engagements while abandoning our service members when they finish. I don't know how a pub can look at himself in the mirror, but I guess it's not that hard when you really don't care about people other than your cult.

Typical communist democrat lemming. The communist left has run big education since the 1960s. They openly stand against the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments. They are anti free speech, anti privacy, anti choice, anti science. They believe science is a popularity contest and suppress any challenges to their hollow theory of man made climate change. Its the precise opposite of everything science stands for. They run every major s hole city in the country and have for 50-100 year’s. Under their stewardship we have their capital of Chicago bringing in 50-100 murders a week. San Francisco is covered in human feces and seeing outbreaks of diseases we haven’t seen since the 1800s.

Just a few Trump accomplishments:

- billionaire several times over
- stock market up 65% to an all time high.
- record number of stock market records consistently his entire presidency
- all time record low unemployment for blacks and Hispanics.
- unemployment below 4% compared to Obama’s record high under employment of 95,000,000
- and the first President in half a century to have the balls to tackle the trade war with China. And the US is winning.
- and this all following Obama’s famous words a month before Trump was elected, “how you gonna bring back jobs, wave a magic wand?”

Your post contains utterly zero facts or data which is typical of the brainless left. Sounds just like one of De Niro’s bozo rants.

Go educate yourself and come back in a few years when you can avoid further embarrassment.

Any questions?

I fully support De Niro. I'd never care enough about politics to lose respect for someone based on their personal opinion.

reply

I would never knowingly pay money to buy or see any movie where one of the lead actors was a right-wing ideologue, like for example Chelsea Grammer, or Steve Martin; or if it had a right-wing theme.

reply

You get on my last nerve.

reply

Exaggerator .... you have plenty of nerves left.

reply

As a person yes I have lost all respect for him. As an actor NEVER

reply

Not lost...gained!

De Niro has lost it. I won't be supporting his movies with my dollars anymore, which is a shame as I loved Good Fellas, Midnight Run and so many other titles he's been in.

There's a level of decency that's been exceeded. The Left in America is crazy. Rage is neither an instructive nor productive tool to argue or advance your cause. I find it quite telling that the Right in America is always lectured to about their "tone" and yet the Left screams profanities with abandon.

Seriously Robert, lighten up a lot or go get yourself some anger management. That was beyond tacky what you did and you should make a public apology.

reply

"There's a level of decency that's been exceeded."

Bob De Niro isn't the President. Our actual President has referred to people he doesn't like as sloppy, wacky, dumb as a rock, crazy, crooked, goofball, psycho, little, liddle, dopey, sleep eyes (which is an actual anti-semetic slur), goofy, cheatin, sham, wacky, disgusting...and more. Oh and there are several folks who claim to have heard Trump use the N-word during his time on The Apprentice.

Trump has also said he doesn't have time for political correctness so why should any of his critics give him the courtesy of political correctness when speaking of him. I agree with Bobby D......Fuck Trump!

reply

You just proved my whole point. Thanks!

reply

You're welcome. Profanities don't bother me. A President who's told over 2,000 verifiable lies since he's been in office and name calls anyone that dares to call him out on those lies does bother me and is IMHO worthy of profanity.

reply

If you can look at the American political scene and side with Donald Trump you are the one who has lost it. I like the America where people who didn't know -poop- did not bother to express their opinions and vote. All Trump has done, and you can see it on the last 60 Minutes report, was to find a way to target and outrage a ton of ignorant people who were suckered by fake news via Facebook. That coupled with people's blah attitude about Hillary Clinton put a cretin in the White House who knows nothing about anything and cannot seem to even learn not to repeat mistakes me has already made 10 times before.

reply

He should keep his mouth shut! Nobody asked for his opinion. Personally, I thought judging by the roles that he took, he had balls.....but, since he opened his mouth, it looks like he was castrated.

reply

Stop obsessing about testicles and grow up.

reply

Ahhh, the tolerant left speaks again. The op asked for opinions. Because my opinion differs from yours, you attack the person. I think it’s YOU that needs to grow up.

reply

>Because my opinion differs from yours, you attack the person.

Yes, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that what you are doing here?

>> He should keep his mouth shut! Nobody asked for his opinion.

reply

This thread is for debating, not attacking and attacking is exactly what you did.

reply

You are useless ... ignored

reply

You are a snowflake asshole!
