Actor Robert De Niro on Tuesday reiterated his warning that voters need to take the autocratic threat of Donald Trump seriously in this election year.
“I don't understand why people are not taking him seriously, because you read about it historically in other countries, that they didn't take the people seriously — I think of Hitler, Mussolini, but they're fools and clowns,” the Academy Award-winning actor said in an interview on “The View.”
“Who does not think that this guy is gonna do exactly what he says he's gonna do, right? He's done it already. And then what? We're gonna sit around say … ‘We told you so’? It's gonna happen. If he gets elected, it's gonna change this country — for everybody,” De Niro continued. “Those people who support him with anger and hate, because that's what he's about, they're gonna see.”
De Niro, a frequent and vocal Trump critic, earlier this month argued that democracy is at stake in the 2024 presidential election.
