Robert De Niro has once again voiced his criticism of Donald Trump. “History is our country and he is destroying it. Who knows what his reasons are, but it’s unhealthy. We have to save the country,” the Taxi Driver and Goodfellas actor stated.
The comments, made during an interview on The Best People With Nicolle Wallace podcast, come as the American president delivered a nearly two-hour address to Congress on Tuesday.
De Niro’s strong words add to the ongoing dialogue between Hollywood and Washington, a frequent intersection in the current political climate. The legendary actor didn’t hold back when discussing his concerns about the former president’s impact on the nation. “History is our country, and he is destroying it. Who knows what his reasons are, but it’s unhealthy. We have to save the country,” De Niro said during his appearance on the podcast. The actor’s statement followed a significant address given by President Trump before Congress on Tuesday, a speech that spanned almost two hours. The timing suggests De Niro’s comments were a direct response to the president’s remarks and the broader political landscape.
