Robert De Niro is back in the news again and not for anything really important if you think about it. The last time he made any sort of a splash was when he came out to speak against President Trump.
You remember that, right?
In case you did not, here is a refresher of the De Niro feud with Trump.
Back in 2016, De Niro was a part of a #VoteYourFuture campaign video urging people to vote, his clip was deemed too partisan to include in the final cut. In his portion, released separately, he didn’t hold back, calling Trump “blatantly stupid,” “a punk” and “a con.”
“I’d like to punch him in the face,” he added.
So much tolerance.
Shortly after during the COVID-19 “pandemic”, De Niro again mouthed off again, reigniting his feud with President Trump, calling him a “lunatic” who “doesn’t care how many people die” from covid-19.
Seriously, has this guy ever shut the heck up?
It is obvious that De Niro is suffering from the severest form of TDS, and at this point, there is no cure.
At any rate, De Niro recently appeared on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on Tuesday, and attempted to defend the current White House occupant.
However, he ended up damning him instead.
After host Colbert asked if De Niro was feeling better about the state of the country with President Joe Biden in office, the actor responded with the faintest of praise.
“He’s, uh, you know, he got us into calm waters,” said De Niro, a guy who evidently hasn’t been to a gas station lately.
“That was always the idea,” the actor said.
“He’s doing a very good job. It’s a tough one. … He’s doing the best he can, and, we gotta get through a bad period, period.”

Yeah, right buddy.
So, Biden has the tougher job than Trump did?
Let’s do a quick recap of what Trump was facing during his administration.
President Donald Trump, a man who went to work every day facing not only the normal challenges of executive office but also the united, vociferous opposition of a lying Democratic Party, a lying mainstream media and cultural elite, and a special counsel witch hunt that distracted time and energy away from the needs of the United States.
De Niro was very much a part of that cultural elite, delivering a 2018 Tony Awards speech with the intellectual highlight of “f*** Trump,” for instance, and openly telling leftist filmmaker Michael Moore, as the New York Post reported in 2019, how much he would like to punch Trump in the face.
The words are De Niro admitting what the sane half of the country already knows about Biden – he’s doing the best he can.
No honest person looking at the country today could conclude that it’s better off with Joe Biden in the White House. The downsides are so obvious, so inarguable, that they’re almost wearisome to list:
Inflation not seen in generations is ravaging American salaries and eroding their savings; an invasion of illegal immigration has become so constant it barely makes headlines anymore; crime is so pervasive that even the liberals of San Francisco on Tuesday voted to recall red-diaper-baby District Attorney Chesa Boudin, and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is continuing, a dangerous, deadly reminder of how Biden destroyed U.S. credibility in foreign affairs with his humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan.
This is the best Biden can do? Yes, it is, considering he’s a man whose advanced age is not sitting lightly on his doddering shoulders. He’s the leader of a political party so morally and intellectually bankrupt it cannot admit the basic realities of human anatomy.
De Niro might be a legitimately renowned actor (his “Godfather II” Oscar was well deserved). And he might have gotten some applause from Colbert’s almost universally leftist audience.
But plenty who encountered his quote saw right through it.

Honestly, for people like De Niro who are rich enough to be insulted from the impact of things like inflation and crime, and who have the comfort of knowing they won’t live all that much longer anyway, “no mean tweets” probably does seem like doing a very good job.

Biden’s “best” isn’t half damn good enough. And Americans know it.
