Robert De Niro criticizes Donald Trump in ‘Flower Moon Killers’

Robert De Niro ripped Donald Trump during Cannes Film Festival press conference for his latest film, Martin Scorsese– directed”Flower Moon Killers“.

Oscar-winning actor – who is No stranger To grinding former president – initially called Trump “stupid”, but did not name the former president.

Later, however, he could not resist directly criticizing the ex-president.

De Niro first named Trump, referring to his character in the film, rancher William Hale, who instigated the killings of the Osage people in 1920s after oil tanks were found on the ground.

“I don’t understand much about my character,” De Niro admitted. “He’s kind of sincere. On the other hand, where he betrays, there is a sense of right.”

“This is the banality of evil. This is what we must beware of. And we see this today, of course. We all know who I will talk about. But I won’t say the name,” the actor continued, clearly alluding to Trump.

“Because this guy is stupid,” De Niro added of the former president. “Imagine if you are smart. Even Hale was smart in many ways.”

Lily Gladstone, who plays a member of the Osage tribe Molly Burkhart noted in the film that the Osage were still present at Hale’s funeral. They “believed until the day he died and after that he was their friend, that he was not guilty of what he was accused of,” she said.

De Niro’s comments come from 24:45:

“I mean, watch with Trump,” De Niro replied, returning to his promise not to say the name of the twice-impeached former president.

“You said it yourself,” Scorsese teased.

“I hate to say it, I hate to say it,” De Niro continued. “But we see what it is, and there are people who think it could do a good job. Imagine it. How crazy it is. That’s all I’ll say.”

De Niro, who recently announced that become a father for the seventh timepublicly taunted Trump for years.
