  1. Yea most people don’t play him to show he has redeemable qualities. He’s just a parody/satire character. On screen and in real life

  2. Wow what a hot take, old notoriously liberal actor won’t play guy he constantly melts down about lol 

  3. He’ll play his character in Cape Fear – not to mention Dirty Grandpa- but not Donald Trump.

    And it’s merited.

  4. What I’m hoping for is Armando Iannucci doing a Death of Stalin type film about Trump losing the election and leading up to January 6th. Jeffrey Tambor as Giullianni having a meltdown when he realises they booked the wrong four seasons would be great.

  5. Imagine a medieval court that heeded the jester. You’re entertainment Robert, never forget.

  6. Does anyone really care what De Niro says and thinks? He’s just a grumpy celebrity who thinks his words carry weight.

  7. Thankfully no one as talented as Robert DeNiro is needed. A six foot tall column of orange jello will suffice.

  8. why dont they just cast Trey Parker? guy would nail it

  9. This is in no way a defense of Donald Trump, but De Niro played Bernie Madoff, whose Ponzi scheme resulted in the suicide of his son and multiple clients as well as bankruptcy or other financial ruin for many many people.

    He has also played gangster characters who were literal murderers, rapists, etc. The idea that he would not play Donald Trump because of his lack of redeemability is disingenuous. He’s played plenty of similar characters over his career, and he’s actually 3 years older than Trump. I get the sentiment, but if he played Madoff then certainly he could stomach playing Donald Trump.

  10. So are we to assume he thinks every character he has played has something redeemable about them? Because that is concerning considering some of the characters he has played.

    He should just be honest and say I hate Trump and I never wanna play him. Not sure why he thinks anyone would ask, he can’t pass for Trump either way

  11. I mean most of De Niro’s best characters have nothing redeemable about them so that’s not really the best reason imo. Madoff, Jimmy from Goodfellas, King Hale from killers of the flower moon. I still respect him for not wanting to do that because to me there’s really nothing interesting about Trump to play.

  12. Maybe he can play Biden. Just have to trip, fall asleep, talk incoherently, keep the border open and eat ice cream.

  13. His last character was totally evil and not redeemable.

  14. Leo played Calvin Candy, so just give him 20-30 years to age into the role.

  15. Time for Mr. “Let’s make it all about me!” to come out of his nest once more. I’m sure no one else’s happier than him deep down that Trump’s running again, so that he can stay relevant by ranting about him.

  16. Are we still caring how actors and famous people feel about politics? Thought we were passed this.

  17. That can’t be true. Trump saved the spray on tan industry single handedly.

  18. He played a guy who literally murdered native Americans for oil money

  19. Americas next president will be trump. You all know this to be true. Search your feelings. Yesssssss

  20. Oh no, guess we will need one of the million other Trump impersonators

  21. MORON IS CAMPAIGNING FOR KENNEDY….LITERALLY NOTHING COULD HELP TRUMP MORE

  22. Is anyone asking Deniro to, at age 80, play Donald Trump at, what point in his life exactly? This would just be bad casting.
