Robert De Niro Slams Trump, Says Biden Would Be Better Even if He Was ‘On a Gurney’

Robert De Niro is sharing his unfiltered thoughts about former president Donald Trump.

In a candid interview with Rolling Stone published Wednesday, De Niro, 80, discussed the aftermath of this year's rollercoaster, from welcoming his seventh child to the actors' strike.

Becoming emotional, he said, "It's a lot. I have no choice but to plow through. And my biggest concern now, with everything else, is us getting out of this situation with a monster in Trump. This is a classic grift. This is unreal."

Asked if President Joe Biden is "the right guy" to against Trump, the About My Father actor responded with a pointed message.

"I think that if Biden was on a gurney and couldn't move anything but his eyes to blink 'yes' or 'no,' he's our person," he said. "There's no way that he's not the guy to take Trump down."

He suggested that Republican candidate Nikki Haley could "maybe" be a good contender.

"We need anything to get rid of Trump," De Niro continued. "If she came in it could at least throw him off and have her be the nominee. But Biden is the best person at this point."

He urged voters, especially "minorities and young people," to vote.

De Niro also reacted to Trump previously calling him a "loser" after the actor's speech at the Gotham Awards (De Niro previously claimed his anti-Trump comments were taken out of his speech without his knowledge when it was added to the Teleprompter).

"I saw. The problem is that people respond to him," De Niro told Rolling Stone of Trump's quip. "God forbid he did become president — this is a road where, if we go down it, it will be very hard to turn around. As Liz Cheney said, 'He will not leave.'"

He continued and addressed a statement that Trump is similar to late politician and crime boss William Hale.

"And he feels, whether he's rationalizing it to himself, that he loves the people and speaks their language, but there's another part of him that's disconnected from it to such a point that he's having people killed," the Amsterdam actor said. "That's horrible. Now, if Trump gets elected, the 'deep state' and all the things that he says, are things he's created. It's all projection from him. What scares me is that people buy what he's saying. He's done a lot of damage."
