Liberal Hollywood icon Robert De Niro has insisted he would never play former President Trump in a movie, claiming he is “irredeemable.”
In an interview on HBO’s “Real Time,” the 80-year-old actor first praised President Biden’s performance at Thursday’s State of the Union address, calling concerns about his age “nonsense.”
“At the end of the day, it’s Biden versus Trump,” De Niro told host Bill Maher. “Do we want to live in a world we want to live in, or do we want to live in a nightmare? Vote for Trump and we’ll have a nightmare. Vote for Biden and we’ll get back to normal.”

There’s nothing irredeemable about him,” De Niro said. “The people who want to vote for him seem like intelligent people around here, but for some reason that can’t be the case. That can’t be the case.”
“If he wins the election, he won’t be on this show anymore,” he warned Maher. “He’s going to come looking for me. It’s going to happen that none of us can imagine. That’s what happens in that kind of dictatorship, and that’s what he says. Let us believe, let us accept his word.”
“He’s a sociopath, a psychopath, a malignant narcissist,” De Niro added, drawing applause from the liberal audience. “He’s a dangerous person and we have to really help people…people who somehow think he’s going to be the answer to their prayers, whatever it is.”
