He stated it perfectly.

    He has a platform? He's fuckin Robert De Niro. What's wrong with saying something if people are listening. Trump is and always will be a horrible choice. Who cares who is publicly saying he shouldn't be in office if he shouldn't. Fighting that makes me think you support Trump in some way and are just gaslighting.

      The problem is not that he's saying something. The problem is people are listening.

      Wanna start an acting class? Fuck yeah, bring in DeNiro! Need help deciding who to vote for? Fuck no!

      Choose someone who has absolutely any qualifications to speak on that subject whatsoever. There is no shortage of them.

        Way to completely encapsulate what it means to have a platform and simultaneously ignore what it means to have a platform. Who cares who listens? If Trump is in fact horrible why care how that message is spread?

          You know who had a giant platform? Trump. People listened to him. How did that turn out?

            I don't think that you get that you keep sounding like you are supporting Trump

              I don't think you get that Trump was a celebrity who absolutely used his celebrity status to get elected, because of the fucked up culture this country has that gives celebrities entirely too much attention outside of purely entertainment.

              If you're going to intentionally misinterpret my comments, there ain't shit I can do about that so I don't care.

                I don't think you are smart enough to claim you know anything about me. Your justification comes off as support. Shut up and take your humble pie. Or just keep sounding like a clown to anyone you try and engage in "intellectual conversations".

                De Niro can say whatever he wants to who ever he wants because he has earned his fame. Trump bought his with lies and stupidity. Comparing the two, supports Trump and makes you sound dumb. Which you are. So that tracks.

                  Uh…okay but, I didn't.

                  Or just keep sounding like a clown

                  I don't think you realize you're the only one that sounds like a clown.

                  De Niro can say whatever he wants to who ever he wants

                  You seem to be a big fan of the Straw Man.

                  Comparing the two, supports Trump

                  Bruh. No. You're an idiot. Go away.
