Robert De Niro’s frank warning about Donald Trump kept the talk show’s bleep operator very busy indeed
Robert De Niro has been doing the media rounds to promote his new film, Ezra, which is about to be released in cinemas.
One of his stops was at talk show The View, where one of the hosts is his Ezra co-star Whoopi Goldberg. He gave the show’s behind the scenes team ample opportunity to test their mute button with an expletive-laden rant on the dangers of Donald Trump
Here’s what he said.

“It’s almost like he wants to do the worst that he could possibly do to show this country, to fuck with us.”
“His slogan should be ‘Fuck America, I want to fuck America.”
The MAGA cultists came out in force, saying things like these –
All pretty standard stuff from Trump fans, but there were plenty cheering the actor’s plain speaking.

It wasn’t’ savage’, it was truthful. But you still can’t use some of those words on licensed public broadcast outlets (radio & TV).
Regardless, I wish someone would post the un-censored version of what De Niro said. People need to hear it, raw as it might be. https://t.co/9y85vsEhpB

I’m sure there are a lot of people that want him to stop talking about politics, but he is right. I’m glad he has the balls to talk call it out.
Also, he should’ve won the Oscar this year. It was his best work in a while.

In the year 2024, I don’t understand the censorship of language.
People know what he’s saying. Children aren’t watching The View. And frankly, I can think of G-rated words that have caused much more hurt than an f-bomb.
Beyond that, go De Niro. https://t.co/zWxtE4UdVY

Although we don’t have an uncensored clip of his appearance on The View, it’s not the first time he’s had frank words about the former President – and it probably won’t be the last.
Here's video of DeNiro swearing at Trump on #TonyAwards
