Sunday night was the 72nd Tony Awards, the annual ceremony that’s supposed to celebrate the best of Broadway. But what’s being talked about more than any of the winners or nominees, co-hosts Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles, or even a moving performance from the Parkland students was the unhinged anti-Trump tirade made by Robert De Niro.
De Niro stepped on the stage to give a simple introduction to Bruce Springsteen’s Tony-nominated show, and immediately off the rails.
“I’m gonna say one thing … F–k Trump,” De Niro declared with his fists in the air. “It’s no longer ‘Down with Trump,’ it’s ‘F–k Trump!’”
Not surprisingly, his remarks were welcomed with cheers and a standing ovation. Like most award shows, they’re attended by liberals who have had nothing but animosity towards Trump after he announced his candidacy in 2015. And they’ve made their hatred for him obvious at virtually every single award show ever since. These awards shows were no longer about the craft of creating such art, they’ve become about Trump.
De Niro himself has made several off-the-wall attacks against the president from calling him a “mutt” and the “jerkoff-in-chief” among other things to saying he’d like to “punch him in the face.” He even said he’s “beyond” seeing the point of view of Trump supporters. He has truly gone off the deep end. But sadly, that’s par for the course in Hollywood.
Just within the last several days alone, we had Bill Maher “hoping” for another recession because a crashing economy can hurt Trump’s reelection chances.
“Sorry if that hurts people,” Maher told his audience, “but it’s either root for a recession or you lose your democracy.”
We might have hit peak Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Maher has openly called for the financial pain and suffering millions of Americans would face if they were hit with another recession, simply because he believes that would prevent Trump from winning a second term. It’s easy for a rich millionaire to say who likely wasn’t much affected if at all by the 2008 recession, but many of his fans surely were.
That came roughly a week after “Full Frontal” host Samantha Bee trashed Ivanka Trump for posting a picture on her social media accounts of her and her infant son amid an emotional immigration debate, calling her a “feckless c–t.” Unlike Roseanne Barr, whose racist tweet got her show cancelled, Bee offered an apology that was hollow at best. But aside from temporarily losing a couple of sponsors, she didn’t face any consequences.
What’s so remarkable about De Niro, Maher, and Bee is that they seemed to have learned absolutely nothing from the 2016 election. Their overzealous animus for Trump had alienated his supporters, many of whom previously voted for President Obama in prior elections. Celebrities have overwhelmingly embraced utter contempt for anyone who doesn’t think like them. Whether you’re a conservative or a Trump voter, you’re seen as a bigot, a racist, a white supremacist, a Nazi, a homophobe, a xenophobe, a misogynist, or a “deplorable.”
Robert has shown how irrelevant he has become. Please go quietly away.
Good friend of Harvey Weinstein, a democrat fund raiser, doesnt want to see the FBI actually do its job by arresting hollywood rapists and pedophiles.
So Bob hush up and see if you can get a part in “Grumpiest foul mouthed Old Men”
With De Niro, I don’t think it ever was “down with Trump”. He has always had this perverse sexual fantasy of coupling with Trump, though we can only assume he would want to be the catcher and not the pitcher.
Never bet against the capacity of the left to act like idiots. For instance, a couple years ago, I would never have imagined screaming at the sky, “safe spaces” and pussy hats, but if there is anything liberals are great at, it is imagining and executing innovative ways to embarrass the human race.
Well, they aren’t really in the “lessons learned” business. They are in the “Selfish Brat That Was Promised the Criminal Queen Would Extend the Liberal Utopia Fundamentally Changing America Into Venezuela, And I’m Really, Really Mad About It, Waa, Waa, Waa” business. Either, to their depressing dismay, they have actually figured out what happened (to which they have no answer) or they have no idea what suddenly happened to Happy, Pleasant, Liberal Tolerant Land on November 6, 2016.
Is there another explanation? Does any of these liberal elitists ever offer an explanation of their rage other than, “we were PROMISED Hillary would win!!”? Every once in a while, one will throw out, “He’s a RACISTS!” and if anyone bothers to ask, “as expressed by what, exactly?”, they will inevitably quote verbatim or misquote (it doesn’t really matter) a liberal media misquote that “Trump said all immigrants are rapists” or “He said White Supremacists were nice”.
Trump will never win the elite Hollywood entitled liberal crybaby voting bloc. He’ just going to have to deal with it.
Just another Hollyweed idiot who’s movies we’ll never watch again looks like all the Dope and Booze has caused the brains to deteriorate until their heads are totaly empty
Last year, Robert DeNiro was almost as pissed at his own wife for “spending ALL my money!”
Look up photos of him and his much, much younger black wife.

Why did he expect otherwise?
Apparently his judgement is all off in many areas.
Not just his Trump derangement syndrome.
Boycott Robert DeNiro and hit him where it hurts right in the Bank Accounts Americans can show their fed up with these spoiled little brats playing a big game of Lets Pretend
