Donald Trump threatens to deport Hollywood icon over ‘Trump Derangement’
The US President claimed some of what the actor is saying is 'seriously criminal'
On Tuesday (24 February), Donald Trump delivered the annual State of the Union address.
Somewhat unsurprisingly, the US Present delivered the longest-ever speech in the event’s history as his address went on for an hour and 47 minutes.
With the country’s gold medal-winning hockey team even making an appearance, Trump spoke about the likes of Iran, tariffs and the economy.
But while Trump’s State of the Union was going on, so was a counter-address; ‘The State of the Swamp’. Attended by the likes of Don Lemon and Mark Ruffalo, Robert De Niro headlined the event.

And, along with comments he made on a podcast released the day before, the Hollywood icon is now facing threats of deportation. Trump has accused the Goodfellas actor of ‘Trump derangement’.
Born in New York, the 82-year-old has been outspoken for the past decade or so about Trump and criticised him and his MAGA supporters during the episode of MSNBC’s The Best People with Nicole Wallace podcast.
“He’s an idiot. We gotta get rid of him. He’s gonna ruin the country,” De Niro said.
The star went on to add: “ I don’t want everybody going around with their MAGA, the American flags, like they’re the only ones. We are Americans too.”
During his emotional speech at the State of the Swamp event, he described the President as ‘failing, flailing and desperate’.
And yesterday, Trump went on a fiery rant as he labelled the Heat actor as ‘demented’ in a Truth Social spiral.
He proposed deporting Reps Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib who left the Capitol building early on Tuesday after shouting him down during his speech.
Calling them ‘lunatics’, he went on to write: “They should actually get on a boat with Trump Deranged Robert De Niro, another sick and demented person with, I believe, an extremely Low IQ, who has absolutely no idea what he is doing or saying — some of which is seriously CRIMINAL!”
He continued: “When I watched him break down in tears last night, much like a child would do, I realised that he may be even sicker than Crazy Rosie O’Donnell, who is right now in Ireland trying to figure out how to come back into our beautiful United States."
Trump claimed the ‘only difference’ between the actor and comedian is that she is ‘probably somewhat smarter’.
"The good news is that America is now Bigger, Better, Richer, and Stronger than ever before, and it’s driving them absolutely crazy! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP,” he added in his post.
