The actor has renewed his vocal opposition to the US president and spoken in support of the millions-strong ‘No Kings’ street protests
Robert De Niro has renewed his vocal opposition to Donald Trump, saying “there’s no other way to face a bully”.
The actor spoke to MSNBC on Sunday in support of the anti-Trump “No Kings” protests, which saw millions take to the streets across the US. De Niro said there needed to be “much more” resistance, adding: “The politicians are going to recognise that: either face the wrath of Trump or the wrath of the people – and they have to be more afraid of the wrath of the people.”
De Niro also said that Trump’s plans to seek a third term had to be opposed. “We cannot let up on him because he is not going to leave the White House. He does not want to leave the White House. He will not leave the White House. Anybody [who] thinks, ‘Oh, he’ll do this, he’ll do that,’ is just deluding themselves.”
He added: “It’s a classic bully situation. We see it, and there’s no other way to face a bully. You have to face him and fight it out and back them off and back him down. That’s the only way this is going to work.”
