webfact Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Robert De Niro uses F-bomb against Trump on live TV Reuters Staff 72nd Annual Tony Awards - Show - New York, U.S., 10/06/2018 - Actor Robert De Niro speaks before introducing Bruce Springsteen's performance. REUTERS/Lucas Jackson NEW YORK (Reuters) - Oscar-winning actor Robert de Niro issued an expletive-laden denunciation of U.S. President Donald Trump during the live television broadcast of the Tony Awards ceremony on Sunday. De Niro appeared on stage at New York’s Radio City Music Hall to introduce rocker and Tony Awards performer Bruce Springsteen. “I’m gonna say one thing. Fuck Trump,” De Niro said, without any preamble. With the audience of theater actors, directors and producers shrieking and rising to their feet in applause, De Niro said: “It’s no longer down with Trump. It’s fuck Trump.” He did not elaborate on his comment and switched immediately to a prepared introduction of Springsteen. The expletive, known as the F-bomb, was bleeped by the CBS network for millions of television watchers at home, a CBS spokeswoman said. However, it was heard by those in the audience and journalists covering the awards show, which honors the best of Broadway theater. De Niro is one of the most respected actors in the United States with two Oscar wins for “Raging Bull” and “The Godfather: Part II.” The White House did not immediately return a request for comment. CBS also did not return a request for further comment. De Niro, a noted liberal, has been increasingly critical of Trump, a Republican, at smaller showbusiness events, but none have the high profile and audience of the Tony Awards. The Tony Awards show was seen by some six million Americans last year.

Somehow I find that humorous. Maybe you're just opposed to his political views? Is that possibly the case? Go on. It's OK to confess a little secret. He's a very good actor and is fully current with his skills. I get it that you just don't like the man but his record is without question pretty impressive.

Jingthing Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 An apt sentiment towards the current most horrible potus but such theatrics do jack sheit towards actuality reining in his power. Just a feel good moment for the majority of Americans and global people as well that get how disgusting and dangerous "trump" is.

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted June 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Good on DeNiro. He is one of the few truly courageous souls, who have a pulpit from which to speak, and says what so many of us are thinking and feeling. F Trump. Yes. Absolutely. He is a reckless man, who has just raised taxes, and broken one of his most cherished campaign pledges. By placing a tariff on so many products, he has raised taxes for most Americans. And what on earth is the big deal? Respect is not freely given. It is earned. Why such thin skin? Is the most heinous trait that this huckster has, rubbing off on his supporters, by any chance? Real men have thick skin. This creep has skin as thin as saran wrap. You are the president. People are going to criticize you. Man up. Stop being such a pussy Don.

Am I missing something here? Does Tiny Don deserve our respect, simply because he occupies the office, despite who he is, what he does and says, and any other factor? I was taught that respect was earned, and not freely given. Your boy is the one who uses filthy language, such as grabbing them by the pussy, and your boy stoops low every day, by insulting our allies, while he praises our enemies. DeNiro has done more in one year to better humanity that Trump has done in his entire career. Trump may be the least charitable "man" to ever occupy that office, except perhaps Nixon. DeNiro is known to support the following charities. Can you name even one, that Trump supports? Just one. He is known to be one of the stingiest wealthy men in the US. With the Tribeca Film Festival alone, he does more to lift up mankind than Trump has ever done in his lifetime, including his feeble presidency. Get a life please. Knocking Hollywood is so passe. Stop reading the daily bulletin from the White House. It might enable some independent thinking on your part. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
