Hollywood actor Robert De Niro said he would rather have an incapacitated president, Joe Biden, who can only blink his eyes, than a second Term from President Donald Trump.
De Niro is a loud and unhinged Trump critic who attacks the former president regularly.
However, due to the actor’s all-consuming hatred for Trump, he appears to have lost any rational logic.
De Niro’s latest outrageous claim came in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, where he was asked if Biden is the “right person” to take on Trump.
In Rolling Stone's new interview with Robert De Niro, the legendary actor talks about:

“I think that if Biden was on a gurney and couldn’t move anything but his eyes to blink ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ he’s our person,” De Niro said.
“There’s no way he’s not the guy to take Trump down.”
The actor even quoted Wyoming Senator Liz Cheney.
“God forbid he [Trump] did become president — this is a road where, if we go down it, it will be very hard to turn around,” he added.
“As Liz Cheney said, ‘He will not leave.'”
De Niro then called Trump a “monster” and “beyond dangerous.”
The actor was even asked to compare Trump to his villainous character William Hale in Killers of the Flower Moon.
“Now, if Trump gets elected, the ‘deep state’ and all the things that he says are things he’s created,” he said.
‘It’s all projection from him.”
“What scares me is that people buy what he’s saying,” he added.
“He’s done a lot of damage,” he said.
Earlier this year, De Niro slammed Trump as “evil” in a speech at The New Republic’s Stop Trump Summit in New York City.
His statement was read out at the event by former Trump administration official Miles Taylor.
“I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men,” the statement read.
“I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump,” De Niro said in the speech.
“When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly.”
“Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there,” De Niro stated
“[Trump] tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as ‘honor among thieves.'”
“Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story—but—they have a moral code, however warped. Donald Trump does not.”
“He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics,” De Niro continued.
