As closing arguments began in the former president’s historic trial, De Niro made a surprise appearance in Lower Manhattan flanked by police officers who defended the US Capitol building during the January 6 riots in 2021.

Describing Trump as a “tyrant” who New Yorkers tolerated “when he was just another grubby real estate hustler masquerading as a big shot two-bit playboy,” De Niro, a native of Manhattan, warned voters about the dangers of a second Trump presidency.
“People thought they could control Hitler, thought they could control Mussolini, it didn’t happen,” said the Goodfellas star, as Trump supporters yelled profanities in the background.

“A dictator is a dictator, and that’s what Trump wants to do and be.”

De Niro recently lent his voice to an attack ad for Democrats that paints Trump as a threat to democracy, but his cameo at the court was the first major attempt by the Biden campaign to directly lean into Trump’s legal woes.

De Niro frothing at the mouth and screaming "Orange Man bad!" (which is really all his diatribe amounted to) is neither edgy nor brave; instead it just came off as a bit pathetic and desperate.

Empires and civilisations seem to follow a pattern that always ages the same way - into decline in moral standards, degrading of human rights and values, and depravity. Either that or it gets swallowed up by a neighbour. History shows us plenty of examples...

If he gets convicted I will be very surprised. Pleased, but surprised...
