Key Points
1
De Niro said in a recent interview with USA Today that he no longer even uses the word “hope” regarding Trump’s administration, warning that Trump could “destroy not only the country, but other parts of the world.”
2
De Niro previously said, “I can’t wait to see him in jail,” and in 2016 called Trump a “pig,” a “punk” and a “bulls*** artist.”
3
Trump has attacked De Niro in return, previously calling him a “sick and mentally deranged person” and accusing him of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and a “low IQ.”
4
Trump had already used AI-generated material to target De Niro and other critics: in July, he posted a video portraying himself as a doctor who had supposedly treated De Niro, Rosie O’Donnell and others for “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
5
The feud also extended to policy disputes: De Niro criticized Trump at the Cannes Film Festival after Trump announced plans for a 100% tariff on films produced outside the United States.
President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated image on Truth Social falsely showing actor Robert De Niro holding a shirt reading "TRUMP IS MY PRESIDENT," captioning it "Even this jerk is beginning to get it!" AOL The fake image marks the latest escalation in a decades-long feud between the two men, who have repeatedly attacked each other through social media and public remarks.
De Niro remains one of Trump's fiercest Hollywood critics. In a recent interview, he told USA Today he no longer uses the word "hope" regarding Trump's administration, warning that Trump could "destroy not only the country, but other parts of the world." The post sparked backlash from social media users who called it misinformation.
A Feud Built on Decades of Insults
Trump and De Niro have been trading personal attacks since at least 2016. De Niro called Trump a "pig," a "punk," and a "bulls*** artist." He later said, "I can't wait to see him in jail." Trump fired back by calling De Niro a "sick and mentally deranged person" and accusing him of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and a "low IQ."
De Niro has consistently described Trump as a tyrant, bully, and threat to democracy. The actor has used major platforms like Cannes Film Festival to voice his opposition to Trump's policies and leadership.
Trump's Growing Use of AI to Mock Critics
The De Niro image is not Trump's first venture into AI-generated content targeting his opponents. IBTimes reported that Trump previously created a video portraying himself as a doctor treating De Niro, Rosie O'Donnell, and others for "Trump Derangement Syndrome" in July. The White House X account also joined in, posting AI images of Trump as Green Lantern.
These posts blend entertainment with political messaging. Trump uses the images to mock celebrities who oppose him while spreading false narratives about their loyalty. The AI content allows him to create scenarios that never happened and present them as jokes.
Policy Clash Over Tariffs and Film Industry
The feud extends beyond personal insults into policy disagreements. De Niro criticized Trump at Cannes Film Festival after Trump announced plans for a 100% tariff on films produced outside the United States. De Niro voiced concerns about how such policies could harm the film industry and international relations.
De Niro's warnings about Trump's second term are stark. He told USA Today that Trump poses a global threat beyond American borders, reflecting concerns shared by many celebrities and critics in Hollywood.
