On Tuesday, a famous actor named Robert De Niro found himself in a heated argument with Donald Trump’s supporters outside the Manhattan Supreme Court. Soon after he had finished his press conference, De Niro yelled at the crowd of Trump’s followers claiming “You are gangsters!”
This was outside the court where Trump is currently on trial for alleged hush money payments.He went out of the press conference and met the trump supporter group. Some people shouted back at him whilst some remained calm.
De Niro has always criticized the current president ever since he took office through various outlets. The current episode is just an integral part of long-standing feud that this artist has been having with ex-presidential candidate and his numerous fans.
Trump also responded to Niro on Truth Social by calling him ‘pathetic’ and making light of his comments as that of a ‘clown.’
The incident demonstrates that political divisions in America are still deeply rooted; notable figures like De Niro and Trump still dominate headlines both locally and internationally. One of many lawsuits confronting former President Trump is ongoing in Manhattan, which has garnered widespread media interest.
As this trial continues tensions will likely remain high with trump’s supporters and critics continuing to be pitted against each other inside and outside courtrooms.
