VIDEO: Robert De Niro Slams President Trump During Al Pacino’s Award Speech

This past Sunday, Robert De Niro was picked to honor his lifelong friend, Al Pacino, at the American Icon Awards. Pacino was accepting an award among 5 others, including Quincy Jones and Evander Holyfield. Of course... De Niro didn't make his speech just about Pacino and all of his accomplishments. He did mention nice things about Pacino for a short amount of time, right before he took the opportunity to slam Trump for an entire minute! You can view the speech below from a video posted by TMZ.

The reactions after his comments were mixed. There were some cheers, laughs, and boos. In my opinion, it’s not the time to bring up politics. It seems disrespectful to ruin a positive moment by bringing up sensitive subjects. Regardless of who is right or wrong.

What are your thoughts?

  1. The evil of this Whitehouse overwhelms good people and to keep from exploding, the need to let the steam out is essential. He honored Al Pacino, who deserves all the blessings of life, but it is a crucial dangerous time for Americans and the overwhelming behaviors and crucial fears at times cannot be buried or held at bay. I am sure De Niro’s comments were overwheming to him and had to be released.

  2. The current administration has been repeatedly investigated. Has repeatedly found no wrong doing. Now I’m not a Trump supporter, however when you go on a tirade like Mr. De Niro did at the event in which he did.
    He dishonored himself, his friend Al Pacino, and all of the other honorees. That night was not about politics. And to keep this non political I will not mention other administrations or political figures and their actions.

  3. I feel that wasn’t the time nor place for his bashing of our President I am also quite tired of these actors thinking we care about their opinions

    1. I hear ya,,, They’re paid to act (overpaid) not voice their opinions on TV, etc
      Can they do a better job… haha. Not

  4. It’s was a very inappropriate thing to do at a awards ceremony to honor 3 actors. It should have been about them not the president! Actors & actress are paid to act not to voice their opinions on television or anywhere else, leave you opinions at home or with you liberal buddies! Do your acting that all of you are over paid to do. What do you expect he’s a liberal and all of California is. Ex: Ellen, Streep, Gates, Smith, Bezos, need I go on.
    Those actors are so all about their big homes, fancy cars, overdone lifestyle it’s disgusting The message from RD was uncalled for..
    Our president Trump is a great president & man, family man, business man, etc. he has done more for the country than any other president . President Trump is trying to mend the country from all the mistakes Obama did. Worst president (Obama) and he’ll go down in history with that title.especially not being a born American holding the title. Hmmmmm

    So you liberals keep on wishing and voting for the Democratic Party, give freebies like cars education food, phones, state and federal money, insurance etc etc to Americans & illegals that are able to work and feel they’re I entitled to it. That’s the ones the Democratic Party want their votes.. lol

    Keep voicing your opinions about letting the illegals into the USA . You illegals want to live here then do it the correct way.
    President Trump is trying to make the USA A BETTER COUNTRY! I’d vote for him again and if he wins I’d be proud to call him the leader of out country.

    So think twice California liberals and other liberals.before you bash our president ( I don’t see y’all in the a position to make these statements unless you have Sat behind the desk in the Oval Office)

    Keep your big mouths shut and do your overpaid acting!

    We respect and admire President Trump from the great state of Texas and bless his heart!❤️
