President Donald Trump may be hopping around the country for rallies ahead of the midterms, but that doesn’t mean he’s forgotten about his favorite haters.
During the president’s stop in Daytona Beach, Florida, he took the time to jab actor Robert De Niro before revealing people in Hollywood are begging him for tax credits to save their “dying” industry.
Watch:
Trump: By the way, is Robert De Niro a moron? I used to sort of like him, but now I can’t even watch him. He’s like, gross. Then he goes into the comedies. He’s no good for comedy. Maybe somebody should tell him. https://t.co/jSZNhXyG0f

He started by talking about his show, ‘The Apprentice,’ saying it “beat what used to be a great show, the Academy Awards,” which now “sucks because people get up and use foul language about your favorite president.”
“By the way, is Robert De Niro a moron? He’s a moron,” he said, likely referring to the actor’s Tony Awards speech, which was used to bash the president.
“No, there’s something wrong with him. I used to sort of like him or something, but now I can’t even watch him. He’s like gross. Then he goes into the comedies. He’s no good for comedies. Maybe somebody should tell him, but he’s terrible,” Trump added. “Since he and a couple of the other losers out there- it’s a funny thing, and now they’re all calling me, kissing my ass. They want tax credits for Hollywood because Hollywood’s dying now, and other countries are taking it away.”
“‘Sir, can we please meet you?’ And guys who have been saying bad crap about me for years are sitting there in my office like ‘Sir, it’s a great honor to be with you, sir,’” he mocked. “See the great thing about the internet is that all you do is press a button, and it tells you everything they’ve said for the last 20 years. No, it’s amazing, now they want tax credits because their industry is dying in this country. And I’ll probably do it. Should I do it? Probably.”

I liked De Niro before, but now can’t even se his films anymore. I have the same feeling about George Clooney, Javier Bardem. ….
