Trump called out De Niro after the actor called Trump a liar during the Gotham Awards
De Niro stated, “Lying has become just another tool in the charlatan’s arsenal. The former president lied to us more than 30,000 times during his four years in office, and he’s keeping up the pace in his current campaign of retribution. But with all his lies, he can’t hide his soul.”
Per Newsman:
Former President Donald Trump on Monday continued his bashing of actor and longtime critic Robert De Niro.
De Niro had said his speech at last week’s Gotham Awards in New York was censored without his knowledge due to anti-Trump comments.
“Robert De Niro is a ‘mental midget’ whose mind is shot, and whose life is a total train wreck. Very much like Crooked Joe Biden, he can’t put two sentences together. The good news is that this crude and very stupid ‘animal’ has lost all credibility!” Trump posted Monday on Truth Social.
In the middle of presenting the Gotham Award for Historical Icon and Creator Tribute, De Niro paused, apparently realizing his speech had been edited. He grabbed his cellphone to find an earlier version of the speech.
“I just want to say one thing,” the actor told the attendees, The Hill reported. “The beginning of my speech was edited, cut out, I didn’t know about it. And I want to read it.”
De Niro proceeded to attack Trump for an alleged propensity for lying.
“History isn’t history anymore,” De Niro said, The Hill reported. “Truth is not truth. Even facts are being replaced by alternative facts and driven by conspiracy theories and ugliness.
“Lying has become just another tool in the charlatan’s arsenal. The former president lied to us more than 30,000 times during his four years in office, and he’s keeping up the pace in his current campaign of retribution. But with all his lies, he can’t hide his soul.”
