Robert De Niro's political reputation took an unexpected turn according to an AI image Donald Trump shared on Truth Social. The post depicted the veteran actor wearing a pro-Trump message, despite De Niro's long record of publicly opposing the president and his administration.
Donald Trump posted the apparently AI-created picture on Truth Social Sunday, showing Robert De Niro holding a red shirt emblazoned with "TRUMP IS MY PRESIDENT." The president added his own jab, writing, "Even this jerk is beginning to get it," while offering no indication that the actor had actually changed his political position (via The Independent).
De Niro has spent decades building one of Hollywood's most respected acting careers. His résumé includes Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas, while his performances have earned him two Academy Awards. Away from the screen, however, he has become equally recognizable for his outspoken opposition to Trump.
That stance stretches back years. Before the 2016 election, De Niro branded Trump a "pig," "punk," and "bulls*** artist." In 2019, he escalated his criticism by calling Trump "evil" and saying he could not wait to see him imprisoned. His latest comments to USA Today last month remained just as blunt.
"I don't even use the word 'hope' anymore," De Niro said of Trump's administration, warning that it could damage America and other parts of the world. "He's just going to destroy not only the country, but other parts of the world. It's insane. That's a big concern of mine, and I think a lot of people now," the actor continued.
