Robert De Niro Reduced To Tears Over Trump

Legendary actor Robert De Niro cried while espousing alarmist rhetoric about President Donald Trump to MS NOW host Nicolle Wallace during a Monday episode of “The Best People with Nicolle Wallace.”

Wallace asked De Niro why he was “always about lifting up everybody” around him during the podcast. The actor, who has played mobsters and hitmen, immediately became emotional when answering and attacked Trump for supposedly trying to ruin the United States.

“You have to lift people up. You have to bring them together. Period. You can’t divide people. You can’t win that way. It’s a no-win situation. And look what we have,” De Niro said. “Look who we have there. It’s almost like a destiny to have this thing there attempting to destroy this country and maybe not even understanding why. So it’s up to us to protect the country.”

“You weren’t supposed to make me cry,” Wallace said.

De Niro also called on individuals to constantly “resist” Trump, claiming it was a matter of “survival.”

“You better jump and run through the fire, because if you don’t run through the fire, you’re not getting out,” he said. “And that’s what we have to do.”

“I’m glad I get to run next to you,” Wallace replied, concluding the podcast. “Thank you. Thank you so much.”
