De Niro furious as anti-Trump rant removed from speech
The Aging Bull Strikes Again: Robert De Niro’s Anti-Trump Rant Gets Censored
The once-respected actor Robert De Niro can’t seem to resist the urge to launch into histrionics aimed at former President Donald Trump. At the recent Gotham Awards in New York City, an event celebrating independent film, the 80-year-old De Niro went off script and claimed that his speech had been edited without his knowledge. Little did he know, someone may have been trying to spare him from embarrassment.
De Niro’s prepared remarks were filled with smears, distortions, and non sequiturs against Trump, legendary actor John Wayne, and even Florida for some inexplicable reason. The cringe-worthy performance was captured and shared on social media.
Robert De Niro, on the night where Killers of the Flower Moon was honored and where Lily Gladstone won the award for her work in The Unknown Country, says his speech was censored without notice.

De Niro began his speech by discussing the dangers facing truth, history, and facts in today’s culture. However, he conveniently left out the fact that leftists are often the ones driving deceptive propaganda. The audience, of course, lapped it up.
“The former president lied to us more than 30,000 times during his four… years in office, and he’s keeping up the pace with his current campaign of retribution. With all of his lies, he can’t hide his soul. He attacks the weak, destroys the gifts of nature, and shows his disrespect, for example, using ‘Pocahontas’ as a slur,” De Niro proclaimed.
But De Niro conveniently failed to acknowledge that the “Pocahontas” reference was Trump’s mockery of Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s false claims about her Native American heritage, not an attack on the historical figure.
At one point, De Niro even blamed Apple, the distribution company behind his new movie “The Killers of the Flower Moon,” for editing out parts of his speech. “How dare they do that, actually?” he exclaimed.
This arrogance is par for the course for De Niro and the rest of the Hollywood left. Celebrities and actors have become notorious for their Trump derangement syndrome, using it as a status symbol and currency within their bubble.
But outside of their privileged bubble, where Americans are suffering from the economic destruction caused by the Biden administration, the tired “orange man bad” narrative is wearing thin. The country was better, stronger, and safer under Trump, and the American people know it. We have no interest in De Niro’s empty attacks.
So, to answer the famous question De Niro’s “Taxi Driver” character asked: Yes, we are talking to you. And you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.

Why is it important for public figures, like Robert De Niro, to separate personal beliefs from professional engagements?
Responsible for distorting and manipulating facts to suit their narrative. He then proceeded to launch into a diatribe against Donald Trump, smearing him with false accusations and baseless claims.
It is not surprising that De Niro, an outspoken critic of Trump, would take the opportunity to bash the former President at a public event. However, what is truly disappointing is his lack of restraint and professionalism. As a respected actor with a long and illustrious career, De Niro should understand the importance of separating personal beliefs from professional engagements.
By going off script and injecting his personal political agenda into the event, De Niro not only showed his disregard for the purpose of the occasion but also undermined his own credibility. Instead of being remembered for his contributions to the film industry, his name will now be associated with his anti-Trump rant and the subsequent censorship of his speech. This incident further highlights the divide and polarization that exists within our society.
The decision to censor De Niro’s speech is understandable, given the inappropriate and unsubstantiated claims he made. It is not uncommon for event organizers to exercise control over speeches and presentations to maintain a certain level of professionalism and respect. In this case, it appears that someone had the foresight to edit out the politically charged statements, saving De Niro from potential embarrassment.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time De Niro has made headlines with his anti-Trump rhetoric. Throughout Trump’s presidency, De Niro consistently used public platforms to voice his disdain and disgust for the former President. While everyone is entitled to their opinions and the freedom to express them, there is a time and place for such discourse. A film awards ceremony, intended to celebrate the accomplishments of independent filmmakers, is not that place.
As Robert De Niro continues to age in the public eye, it is disheartening to witness his descent into bitterness and vitriol. Instead of using his platform to promote unity and understanding, he chooses to further fuel the flames of division. His actions serve as a reminder that even the most esteemed individuals can succumb to the pressures of personal bias and lose sight of their professional responsibilities.
In conclusion, Robert De Niro’s recent anti-Trump rant at the Gotham Awards was a display of his aging stubbornness and an inability to restrain himself from injecting his personal political agenda into public events. The subsequent censorship of his speech highlights the importance of maintaining professionalism and respect in public forums. While everyone has the right to their opinions, there is a time and place for such expressions, and a film awards ceremony is not the appropriate setting. De Niro’s actions not only tarnish his own reputation but also contribute to the growing divide within our society.
