May she rest in peace.
ROBERT DE NIRO’S MAD!
Election season is heating up in the US and everyone is starting to be more vocal about the presidential candidates, including Robert De Niro. In a Vice Exclusive video, Robert De Niro is visible angry while he releases a series of insults calling Donald Trump a national disaster and an embarrassment.
The video was recorded as part of a campaign to encourage people to get out and vote.
These insults have surfaced after a video emerged of Donald Trump making sexually aggressive comments about women, which he was forced to apologise for.
Never a dull moment in American politics!
