Why did Robert de Nero slam Donald Trump?
The 81-year-old actor indicated recent 100% tariffs on foreign-made films in the United States. Slipping Potus, De Niro questioned democracy and artistic sanctions. “In my country, we are fighting like hell for hell, which we once taken. It affects all of us here because art is democratic. Art is inclusive, it brings people together. The art embraces diversity, and that is why art is a threat; that is why we are a threat to autocrats and fascists.” Robert slammed the President, “The Palestine President of the US has appointed himself as the head of one of our major cultural institutions.”

You can’t put a price on creativity, but obviously you can put a tariff on it,” he continued. “This is not just an American problem, it is a global. We can’t just sit back and see,” said D Nero. “We have to act, and we will now have to work with great passion and determination, not with violence.
