The Biden campaign held a presser with Taxi actor Robert De Niro outside the Manhattan courthouse where former President Trump is facing the end of his trial in Manhattan. Trump faces 34 counts of allegedly falsifying business records.
In the continued witch hunt against Trump, "prosecutors are working to prove that [the former President] falsified business records to conceal a $130,000 payment to former pornographic star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election to quiet her claims of an alleged affair with Trump in 2006."
As if instructed by a casting crew, De Niro claimed that former President Trump is a "danger" to Americans. The actor was also dumbfounded when he was called out by Trump supporters, and MAGA patriots who addressed the "celebrity cops" behind De Niro as lying under oath during the January 6, 2021 committee hearings.

In a pathetic attempt to swing voters, Biden's campaign hoped that De Niro's words would counter the immense support that Trump received at his rally last week in the Bronx.
The actor said, "I hope this new ad campaign reaches outside the bubble to remind supporters of what a danger he is to our lives. This is not a threat. This is our reality. And that's why I've joined the Biden-Harris campaign, because the only way to preserve our freedoms and hold on to our humanity is to vote for Joe Biden for president."
After the presser, Trump supporters heckled De Niro: "You’re washed up, you’re a nobody, your movies suck, you’re trash!"

Known for his movies that pay homage to the Italian mob, the Italians of New York were not happy.
One New Yorker yelled out to De Niro: “You’re are a traitor to Italians and Jews! You’re a f****** c***!”
Someone, buy this man a beer! 🤣🤣🤣

The outroar came after De Niro said, "Donald Trump wants to destroy not only the city, but the country. And eventually he could destroy the world."
De Niro added, "I owe this city a lot. And that's why it's so weird that Donald Trump is just across the street because he doesn't belong in my city. I don't know where he belongs, but he certainly doesn't belong here."
A spark that lit an ever-evolving match in the Big Apple, Robert De Niro may want to leave the Dems and keep the cannoli.
