Robert De Niro, a longtime critic of Donald Trump, has heavily criticized him during the No Kings protests, a rallying cry that became popular after what critics call the US president’s egregious actions.
In a fiery speech to a cheering crowd, the Academy-winning actor says: “It’s time to say no to kings.”
He continues: “It’s time to say no to Donald Trump. We’ve had enough. No King Trump, no unnecessary wars that rob our resources, sacrifice our brave soldiers and slaughter innocents.”
Singling out Trump, De Niro says: “Not a corrupt leader who enriches himself and the Epstein classmates.”
“No taking health care away from our most vulnerable neighbors, no unaffordable groceries, no unaffordable energy, no unaffordable housing, and no inflation at its highest level since COVID.”
The Heat star didn’t stop there.
He goes on to slam Trump, saying, “No masked government thugs shooting our neighbors in the streets. Trump must be stopped. He can’t do all the damn things he’s done without the collusion of Congress and the goons in his administration.”
De Niro wasn’t the only Hollywood figure present at the No Kings protests, which were held across the country.
Jane Fonda, Bruce Springsteen and Joan Baez also attended one of these protests. Additionally, Jimmy Kimmel and Jamie Lee Curtis showed their support on social media.
