He doesn't appear to think much of the orange one. That must have taken some courage; its a quite a risk for anyone so well known to oppose Trump, especially when he could possobly lose work because of his stand, well done De Niro.

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.
