Robert De Niro says Trump wants to ‘destroy the country’

Her rant came after the 80-year-old actor blasted the former President before closing arguments in his hush money trial.

He reportedly asserted, “I love this city. I don’t want to destroy it.”

De Niro then alleged, “Donald Trump wants to destroy not only the city but the country, and eventually he could destroy the world. He wants to sow total chaos.”

He further reportedly stated, “Under Trump, this kind of government will perish from the earth. I don’t mean to scare you. No, no, wait – maybe I do mean to scare you.”

“If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted. And elections? Forget about it,” the Oscar winner added.
