Summary
Robert De Niro publicly criticized former President Donald Trump during a Q&A session at the premiere of Francis Ford Coppola’s film Megalopolis in New York City. De Niro expressed concerns about Trump’s leadership capabilities, suggesting that he could not manage a film project and warning that the country is at risk if such individuals hold power.
During the event, De Niro, alongside Coppola and filmmaker Spike Lee, drew parallels between the themes of Megalopolis—which explores the decline of civilizations and the rise of authoritarianism—and the current political landscape in the United States. He emphasized the importance of voter participation in the upcoming 2024 election, stating, “Everybody has to get out there and vote.” De Niro’s remarks echoed his long-standing opposition to Trump, reinforcing the idea that the stakes are high in the upcoming election, and that the political discourse should focus on defeating what he perceives as a threat to democracy.
