De Niro Gives Trump Both Barrels
Robert De Niro Heightens Speculation on His New Trump Film Following Incident at Gotham Awards Speech
“My Trump takedown movie will make his little orange toes curl up like Fritos,” De Niro promised
At the Gotham Awards Monday evening, presented annually in New York City to the makers of independent films, Robert De Niro went off script. Noticing that the speech being related to him by teleprompter was not his complete speech — that it had been edited to leave out an important section he had written beforehand — he just stopped, and went off script.
“The beginning of my speech was edited, cut out,” he announced to the audience.
“I didn’t know about it — and I want to read it.” Members of the audience cheered the Oscar winner on, as he whipped out his phone and began scrolling to find his original speech. He found it, and started reading:
“History isn’t history anymore,” he said. “Truth is not truth. Even facts are being replaced by alternative facts and driven by conspiracy theories and ugliness.”
