Robert De Niro has never been one to shy away from taking on Donald Trump, and let the president have it once again over the weekend.

On Saturday, De Niro slammed Trump for being an “existential threat to our freedoms and security”, before joining an estimated nine million people at a “No Kings” protests against the US leader and his administration.

“He must be stopped and he must be stopped now!” stressed the two-time Oscar nominee, a staunch Trump critic who has thrown his support behind the demonstrations.

“It’s time to say no to kings. It’s time to say no to Donald Trump, we’ve had enough!” he said during a press conference.

De Niro — just over a month after his emotional plea for Americans to resist the president — went on to decry Trump’s “unnecessary” Iran war before describing him as a “corrupt leader enriching himself” and his “Epstein class buddies”.

“No taking health care from our most vulnerable neighbours, no unaffordable groceries, no unaffordable energy, no unaffordable housing and no inflation at it’s highest level since Covid,” he emphasised. “No government masked thugs shooting down our neighbours in the streets.”

He proceeded to take on “all the fucked up things” Trump has done “without the collusion of Congress and the goons in his administration”, adding that Republican party officials are bound to him in fear of losing their jobs.

De Niro was later spotted leading a march alongside the likes of Rev. Al Sharpton, New York Attorney General Letitia James, Padma Lakshmi and others protesting against the president in New York City.

In Washington DC, and St. Paul, Minnesota, music legends Joan Baez and Bruce Springsteen, respectively, performed for massive crowds as protesters called for a U.S. “regime change” as well as the arrests of Trump and members of his Cabinet.

De Niro, in remarks on Sharpton’s MS NOW program PoliticsNation, declared that Trump is a “crazy… damaged person” and will try anything while in power before calling on Americans to not let up in protesting him until the midterms are “resolved for the right reasons”.
