"Interestingly, no Democrat has yet seen fit to call out De Niro on this. Nor has any of the NeverTrump conservatives who tut-tut about Trump's supposed crudeness in his tweets. Silence is a form of consent, and no doubt many of them would like to see De Niro's wish fulfilled.
"This brings us to another point. De Niro evidently does not have the mental strength to separate Robert De Niro the actor from the thuggish characters he plays in the movies. The 76-year-old actor thinks he's some sort of a combination of boxer Jake LaMotta (Raging Bull), gangster Jimmy Conway (Goodfellas), and Al Capone (The Untouchables). Like Lazy Joe Biden, De Niro actually imagines himself to be a tough guy. One has to wonder how long that delusion would hold up if De Niro had to confront someone without his bodyguards, lawyers, accountants, and public relations people on call.
