Donald Trump blasted “total loser” Robert De Niro after the Oscar winner’s fiery speech which heavily criticised the former US president.
The 80-year-old Hollywood star took to the stage at the Gotham Awards last week, and was horrified when he realised his speech had been censored to remove negative remarks about the disgraced businessman.
“The beginning of my speech was edited, cut out. I didn’t know about it,” De Niro said, as he pulled out his phone to read the unedited version, as he claimed it was Apple who had stepped in to censor his speech. “So I’m going to say these things – to Apple and thank them, all that. Gothams. Blah blah blah. Apple. But I don’t really feel like thanking them at all for what they did. How dare they do that, actually?”

“Robert De Niro, whose acting talents have greatly diminished, with his reputation now shot, must even use a teleprompter for his foul and disgusting language, so disrespectful to our Country,” the 77-year-old wrote.
“He has become unwatchable both in movies, and with the FOOLS that destroyed the Academy Awards, bringing them from one of the top shows in the Country to a Low Rated afterthought. De Niro should focus on his life, which is a mess, rather than the lives of others. He has become a total loser, as the World watches, waits, and laughs!” Trump added.
Trump was furious over the fiery speechDe Niro took aim at Apple execs after he realised his speech had been censored at the Gotham Awards, and according to Variety, a woman who said she worked for Apple was overheard telling the teleprompter operator to upload a fresh speech.
“The former president lied to us more than 30,000 times during his four years in office, and he’s keeping up the pace with his current campaign of retribution,” De Niro fumed.
“With all of his lies, he can’t hide his soul. He attacks the weak, destroys the gifts of nature and shows his disrespect for example using Pocahontas as a slur,” he added.
