Donald Trump responded to Robert De Niro after the actor staged a protest outside the Manhattan courthouse where his hush-money trial is taking place, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The embattled ex-president, 77, branded De Niro, 80, a "wacko" for showing up to the courthouse with two Capitol police officers who were present on January 6, 2021.
Hume warned that Donald Trump "gummed up the works" by attacking Republican officials during a tight senate race in Georgia — and that history could repeat itself.
On Tuesday, May 28, the legendary actor bizarrely called a press conference on behalf of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. While speaking to reporters, De Niro claimed Trump was destroying democracy and "wants to sow total chaos."
"I don’t mean to scare you. No, wait, maybe I do mean to scare you," the Goodfellas star said. "If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted."
De Niro accused Trump of trying to destroy democracy.
"And elections. Forget about it. That’s over. That’s done," De Niro continued. "If he gets in. I can tell you right now. He will never leave. He will never leave. You know that. He will never leave."
During the protest, De Niro also sparred with MAGA supporters, who he accused of being "gangsters."
New York City's Rikers Island is said to be "ready" for the ex-prez if he does get jail time.
