Robert De Niro brands Trump ‘a total monster’ and says 2024 election win would mean living in ‘a nightmare’

Robert De Niro has urged US voters to support Joe Biden in a bid for “normalcy”, warning that a Donald Trump win would result in “the nightmare”.

Appearing on the latest episode ofReal Time with Bill Maher,the famously outspoken Hollywood star discussed the forthcoming 2024 election.

“We wanna live in a world that we want to live in and enjoy living in, or live in a nightmare?” De Niro asked his host. “Vote for Trump and you’ll get the nightmare, vote for Biden and we’ll be back to normalcy.”

TheGoodfellas actor explained: “I just don’t want to feel the way I did (and many of us did) the many months after the election in 2016, where we couldn’t believe that it happened. [Trump] is a total monster…

“I don’t understand it,” he continued, questioning why people vote for Trump. “I guess they get behind that kind of logic, they wanna f*** with people, screw them, because they’re unhappy about something. He’s such a mean, nasty, hateful person.”

Unprompted, De Niro said he would never play Trump as an actor because he failed to see “any good in him. Nothing, nothing at all, nothing redeemable.”

“If he wins the election, you won’t be on this show anymore,” he told Maher. “He’ll come looking for me. There’ll be things that happen that none of us could imagine.”

“The bottom line is Biden’s our guy,” he concluded. “He represents what this country’s supposed to be about.”

Trump launched a belated attack on De Niro in December last year, branding the Oscar-winning star a “total loser” one week after De Niro went after him in his speech at the Gotham Awards.
