This guy who ran and hid in the White House bunker when there were protesters outside? No way. He doesn\u2019t get blood on his hands, no he doesn\u2019t, he directs the Mob to do his dirty work for him by making a \u2018suggestion,\u2019 an inference, and his gang grovels and follows his obvious order.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">De Niro added that \u201cit\u2019s no surprise the murder rate and other violent crimes peaked under Trump and are falling under Biden, and now he\u2019s\u00a0promising to use our own military to attack US citizens. That\u2019s the tyrant, that\u2019s the tyrant he\u2019s telling us he\u2019ll be\u2026. When Trump ran in 2016 it was like a joke, this buffoon running for president\u2026. We\u2019d forgotten the lessons of history that showed us other clowns who weren\u2019t taken seriously until they became vicious dictators\u2026. This is the time to stop it by voting him out once and for all. We don\u2019t want to wake up after the election saying, \u2018What, again?
