Robert De Niro calls Trump a racist: 'We're at a crisis in this country with this fool'

Robert De Niro, who once said he's like to "punch"
Trump in the face, called the president a "blatant
racist" in a new interview.
The actor told Deadline Trump is "dangerous" and
should not "have gotten into the position that he's
in."
"He's dangerous as it is. He's terrible, and a flat-
out blatant racist and doubling down on that, and
it's good that he does because he's going to sink
himself," De Niro said.
He added, "We're at a crisis in this country with
this fool."

SUPPORTERS
The 74-year-old said he'd like to see his fellow
actors call out Trump at next month's Emmy
Awards.
"Even at the Emmys it should be a kind of theme
in some way," he said adding there should be
some balance so the show isn't all about Trump.
"But at this point, we're at a crisis in this country
with this fool, who never should have gotten into
the position that he's in."
The "War with Grandpa" star has gone back-and-
forth when it comes to Trump. He first slammed
then then-presidential candidate one month before
the election calling him a "pig" and a "bulls--t
artist."

In the video, De Niro also said, "I'd like to punch
him in the face."
However, he seemed to have softened his stance
on Trump after the election saying, "I would only
say that we’re all hoping, waiting and hoping, that
he will lead the country in a way that’ll benefit
everyone and benefit our neighbors around the
world."
