Robert De Niro had a few choice words for President Donald Trump while the legendary actor was on stage at Sunday’s Tony Awards to introduce Bruce Springsteen’s musical performance.
“I’m going to say one thing, F— Trump,” De Niro said while pumping his fists in the air. “It’s no longer down with Trump. It’s f— Trump.”
The political sentiment earned De Niro a standing ovation from the crowd at Radio City Music Hall, while CBS scrambled to bleep the audio on the live telecast.
After the audience settled, De Niro got back to talking about Springsteen, who received a special Tony Award during Sunday night. The intimate show, “Springsteen on Broadway” — or as De Niro referred to it, “Jersey Boy” — features the Boss performing his music and sharing stories from his 2016 autobiography “Born to Run.” Tickets to the exclusive concert residency, which has been extended twice, are upwards of $850.
“Do you have any idea how hard it is to get tickets for Bruce Springsteen’s show on Broadway? It’s easier to get tickets for ‘Hamilton,’ and that’s got a much bigger cast, actual dancing and a history lesson,” De Niro joked.
So when De Niro finally got the call to see Springsteen play live, he said ‘yes without asking any questions.”
“Bruce, you can rock the house like nobody else,” he said. “And even more important in these perilous times, you rock the vote, always fighting for, in your own words, ‘Truth, transparency, and integrity in government.’ Boy, do we need that now.”
Springsteen then took the stage to perform a soulful rendition of “My Hometown.”
Poster Comment:
This pompous piece of shit is actually saying ” fuck the 60 million people who voted him into office’ Also, he is up on the stage with the draft dodger Springsteen who faked insanity while others died.
This profane jerk is grandfather to the butt hurt elites. Stack that little man up in some platform shoes and he thinks he’s a big man. Can he say why “Fuck Trump”?, or is he just like any other butt hurt liberal and can’t back up his mouth with some facts or reason. He’s no American.

De Niro is a has-been and a nobody. It's been a long time since he had a film worth seeing so this is how he tries to get attention.

"Congress rejected a nearly identical plan from the Trump administration last year."
After DeNiro's outburst and the standing ovation he received, I'd say Congress better reconsider their position. Fuck me? Fuck you!

Should have been eliminated long ago. Let DeNiro and his friends at the Tony Awards subsidize the arts.
What's telling is that these agencies know what Trump is trying to do to them. Did they change their programming to become a little more balanced? Fuck, no.

Hear ya. On both counts.
If THEY want to produce and admire urine and feces then call it "art", let THEM put their blood-money where their filthy mounts are.
What's telling is that these agencies know what Trump is trying to do to them. Did they change their programming to become a little more balanced? Fuck, no.
Pure hubris.They never let up or change because they live in a bubble. They don't care because they believe they are immune from such cut-backs AND public blowback. Well THAT is all changing -- even if they disbelieve it and the contempt the majority have for them.

From the comments I have heard him make for the last 20 years, maybe he wasn't faking.

So.....
You have a problem with draft dodgers?
If we compare Springsteen and dipshit-donnie....
One is a lying sack-of-shit degenerate draft dodger, and the other is a successful musician draft dodger.
do you get your panties in a bunch over all draft dodgers?

Never heard of it. Sounds awful frankly.
It's kind of sad when they don't know when it's time to retire.

Independent.co.uk: The sex scandal that wouldn't lie down
The case uncovers the brutal methods used to snare young women - some as young as 15 - into a call-girl agency specialising in wealthy, high- profile clients. It also exposes attempts by the French government machine to block an investigation which might embarrass senior politicians and damage French interests abroad.
Six people are charged with the running of an international prostitution ring, whose call-girls entertained the actor Robert de Niro, the former tennis player, Wojtek Fibak, two senior (but unnamed) French politicians and several Gulf princes. The agency specialised in tricking, or trapping, star-struck teenage girls into selling their bodies with the promise of careers as models or actresses.
At one point, according to the report of the investigating judge, the agency became a kind of approved dealer in girls, operating with the connivance, if not the blessing, of the French foreign ministry and French secret services. By steering Middle East arms clients towards girls from a known, and closely watched, agency, there was thought to be a reduced risk of blackmail, or the leaking of secret negotiations.
Leaks from the French investigation last year suggested that the agency once brokered a $1m (pounds 625,000) deal for an Arab prince to spend a night with a Hollywood actress. The woman named by French magazines at the time has adamantly denied the story. The allegation does not form part of the final judicial report.
The two principal accused are Jean-Pierre Bourgeois, 51, a failed fashion and glamour photographer and Annika Brumark, 50, a Swedish former model and one-time beauty queen. They, and four others, will be charged before the Tribunal Correctionel in Paris tomorrow with procurement or complicity in procurement. (Prostitution is legal in France; procurement is not.) Mr Bourgeois also faces possible additional charges of rape.
The French Brigade de Repression de Proxenetisme (the equivalent of the Vice Squad) traced 89 young women - would-be models or actresses - who said they had been tricked or sometimes physically constrained by Ms Brumark and Mr Bourgeois into working for them. According to the judicial report, the girls were sometimes "sold on like cattle" to other call- girl agencies.
The files of clients' names seized by the police are said to include many well-known members of the sports and show-business jet-set on both sides of the Atlantic. The only names to emerge so far are De Niro, Fibak and the French film producer, Alain Sarde.
De Niro, despite a much publicised "arrest" in Paris while filming a movie earlier this year, was questioned only as a witness and occasional client of the network's prostitutes. He is suing the investigating magistrate, Frederic N'Guyen Duc Quang, following his highly publicised interrogation; the actor's lawyers accuse the investigator of deliberate publicity-seeking. Messrs Fibak and Sarde are the subject of a separate judicial investigation.
The client list is also said to have included two senior French centre- right politicians, whose names have not been leaked. Both the French foreign and interior ministries tried to squash or limit the investigation in its early months - the interior ministry because of the possible embarrassment to senior politicians, the foreign ministry because it did not want to upset Middle Eastern buyers of French armaments.
Makes you wonder if all his attention-grabbing to bash Trump is a way of building some loyalty points with the Hollyweirdos for when more details of his child prostitution habits become known.
#MeToo.

As Edwin Edwards once said, "The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy".
Not sure how relevant that quote is, but I like it.
