Robert De Niro on Friday in the “11 Hour” program on the American news station MSNBC was asked, among others, about former US President Donald Trump. The Oscar winner said in an interview with journalist Stephanie Ruhle that he is a “really sick person” and a “monster.” When talking about why people support him, he cited the example of Nazi Germany. – I don't think people realize how dangerous it will be if he ever, God forbid, becomes president again. From a historical point of view, Germany had the same thing with Hitler. People don't take him seriously. He looks like a clown and acts like a clown. It was the same with Mussolini. This kind of people. “I don't know why they look like clowns,” De Niro said.

The actor was also asked what he thinks about American stars who do not want to get involved in political matters like he does. De Niro did not criticize them directly, but said that “people have to get involved or we will wake up in a world that is very scary.” – When I was a child, I thought that Hitler was a nightmare that would never happen here (in the United States – ed.).
