Last month a video of De Niro went viral, where he described Trump as, ”blatantly stupid,” “pig,” “punk” and “dog”, and added: “He talks about how he’d like to punch people in the face? Well, I’d like to punch him in the face.”
De Niro also spoke about Trump during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night, where the host asked if he still planned to punch him in the face.
“I can’t do that now he’s president,” De Niro replied.
“And I have to respect that position.
“I just have to see what he’s going to do and how he’s going to follow through on certain things.”
