De Niro: He’s a sick person, who has been allowed into our system. I’m tired of calling him names. He just can’t be anywhere near the office of the Presidency.
Q: You’ve played a lot of bad guys, would you ever play Donald Trump?
A: Never. There’s nothing about — there’s not one redeeming thing in him that I can see. Ever. Ever. It’s funny I was just thinking that he’s — he actually became President he could have done good things. Instead, he just — he had to do it all wrong. He’s just so — as we all know — so narcissistic, and self-centered.
Q: What do you say to those who say, “I don’t like the guy, but I’m gonna vote for him.” What’s your message to them?
A: I don’t understand it. I don’t think they understand how dangerous it will be if, God forbid, he ever becomes President I don’t think they really understand and historically from what I see, even in Nazi Germany they had it with Hitler. They don’t take him serious, he looks like a clown, acts like a clown. Mussolini, same thing.
These guys look like clowns, they somehow people — that element of society identifies in some way with them — but it would be chaos beyond out imagination, there’s no mystery about him. He’s right out front. And what he says is what it’ll be if he become President.
Q: Do you think our democracy is at risk in this election?
A: I think that it is. I always keep saying democracy is great, of course, but democracy people take for granted. it’s a word that some people don’t even understand, they take it for granted. It’s about right and wrong period. The guy’s a monster, he’s beyond wrong. It’s almost like he wants to do the most horrible things that he can think of in order to get a rise out of us. I don’t know what it is, but he’s been doing it and doing it and it’s fucking scary.
Q: You have no upside in having this conversation. In speaking out against Donald Trump you’re making yourself a target. The interview will air and he will immediately find a reason to tak bad about you in public.
A: Yeah.
Q: But you’re choosing to use your platform to do so. What do you say to other celebrities who don’t want to alienate part of their fanbase, don’t want to step in harm’s way, but they have similar megaphones that you do?
A: Y’know — the idea to be bullied at my age by someone like this is not happening.
Q: I’m pretty sure you were never bullied.
A: No, it was some kids stuff — this and that — but y’know the point is not, and for the country — No. I think other people are going to have to stand up, and just because it’s either that or you’re going to find yourself in a situation that’s so terrifying.
Q: Do you think Joe Biden is the right guy?
A: We don’t have a choice. And I think he is the right guy. He’s a good guy he’s trying to do the right thing. And… we don’t have a choice. And I say that in a very positive good way.
Q: Then what would be your message to President Biden?
A: Keep up the fight. Go at him, go at him hard. And every chance you get go at him. Go. At. Him. Because, people, they take notice of that stuff. And don’t be — he’s not afraid. But he’s doing what he should do — he knows that. That’s um- it’s the only way.
I use figuratively, I say “Punch him in the face, go at him” A bully, you punch him in the face. The trouble with Trump is he’s not just a bully, he’s a stupid bully.
So I would not say De Niro is exactly a policy wonk, but he is responding on a basic visceral level to Trump being a would-be dictator and bully. He attacks the innocent and the vulnerable. He uses immigrants, Muslims and black people as scapegoats for his hate and paranoia. He stirs up anger and resentment. His followers issue death and bomb threats against Judges, Witness, Juries, School Board members, Election officials, Teachers, Librarians and students.
Yes, these are the tactics of Hitler and Mussolini. Divide and Conquer.
It may seem fairly easy for a big Hollywood Star to come out against Trump, but it’s not. There are conservatives in Hollywood, particularly producers like Bruckheimer and David Zucker. There are many actors and directors who are conservative and Republicans like Robert Duvall, Clint Eastwood, John Hughes, Arnold Swarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Gary Sinise, Kelsey Grammer, Robert Downey Jr., Dwayne Johnson, Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis, Fred Thompson, Adam Sandler, Tom Selleck, James Earl Jones, Vince Vaugh, Adam Baldwin, Shannon Doherty, Angie Harmon, Kurt Russell, Anthony Sabato Jr, Stephen Baldwin, Jon Voight, Dennis Hopper, Drew Carry, Clint Howard, Morgan Fairchild, Gloria Estefan and Morgan Freeman.
It’s not like it’s not going into have an potential impact on your career, but then again after the career tha De Niro has already had - he probably doesn’t care.
Thank you for reading Dark Skies on the Horizon. This post is public so feel free to share it.

But rather than any of those people stepping up to the plate, the person who has decided to call out De Niro - is Elon Musk.
X owner Elon Musk slammed actor Robert De Niro this week for comparing former President Donald Trump to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
De Niro, who has regularly made comments along these lines for nearly the last decade, renewed his attacks on Trump during an interview on MSNBC this week.
[…]
Musk responded to a clip of De Niro from the segment that went viral on X by noting that Trump did not resemble Hitler during his first term in office and he was a very pro-Israel president.
“Well, Trump was actually already president for 4 years and his policies bore no resemblance to those of Hitler, so this makes no sense,” Musk posted. “In fact, with the Abraham Accords, he made some progress towards peace in the Middle East, which was definitely not high on Hitler’s agenda.”
Arguably, he made no progress at all on this with Palestine. In fact, by moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem - he made backward process by showing clear favoritism for the Zionist in Israel.
His offers to Gaza and the West Back were little more than a bribe to accept the Israeli occupation.
Arab politicians and commentators greeted U.S. President Donald Trump's Middle East $50 billion economic vision with a mixture of derision and exasperation, although some in the Gulf called for it to be given a chance.
In Israel, Tzachi Hanegbi, a cabinet member close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, described Palestinians' rejection of the "peace to prosperity" plan as tragic.
Set to be presented by Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner at a conference in Bahrain on June 25-26, the blueprint envisions a global investment fund to lift the Palestinian and neighbouring Arab economies, and is part of broader efforts to revive the Israeli-Palestininan peace process.
[…]
The Palestinian Authority is boycotting the Bahrain meeting, saying only a political solution will solve the problem. It said Kushner's "abstract promises" were an attempt to bribe Palestinians into accepting Israeli occupation.
The White House has not invited the Israeli government to Bahrain.
On Israel Radio, Hanegbi said Washington had tried to create "a little more trust and positivity" by presenting an economic vision but had touched a raw nerve for Palestinians.
"They are still convinced that the whole matter of an economic peace is a conspiracy, aimed only at plying them with funds for projects and other goodies only so they will forget their nationalist aspirations. This is of course just paranoia, but it's another tragedy for the Palestinians," he said.U.S.-allied Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, will take part in the Bahrain gathering along with officials from Egypt, Jordan and Morocco. Lebanon and Iraq will not attend.
"Those who think that waving billions of dollars can lure Lebanon, which is under the weight of a suffocating economic crisis, into succumbing or bartering over its principles are mistaken," parliament speaker, Nabih Berri, said.
The point, which Musk clearly misses, isn’t just that Hitler persecuted Jews — he also persecuted Gays and Gypsies. He attacked any and all “outsiders” who he considered not part of his “Master Race.”
That is exactly like Trump who attacks anyone he doesn’t see as a “Real American.” Trump clearly has plans to attack the LGBTQ community including banning Gender Affirming Care.
Today, President Donald J. Trump announced his plan to stop the chemical, physical, and emotional mutilation of our youth because no serious country should be telling its children that they were born with the wrong gender.
1. Revoke Joe Biden’s cruel policies on so-called “gender affirming care”—a process that includes giving kids puberty blockers, mutating their physical appearance, and ultimately performing surgery on minor children.
2. Sign a new executive order instructing every federal agency to cease all programs that promote the concept of sex and gender transition at any age.
3. Ask Congress to permanently stop federal taxpayer dollars from being used to promote or pay for these procedures.
4. Pass a law prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all 50 states.
5. Declare that any hospital or healthcare provider participating in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth will no longer meet federal health and safety standards for Medicaid and Medicare—and will be terminated from the program.
6. Support the creation of a private right of action for victims to sue doctors who have unforgivably performed these procedures on minor children.
7. Direct the Department of Justice to investigate Big Pharma and the big hospital networks to determine whether they have:
Deliberately covered up horrific long-term side-effects of “sex transitions” to get rich at the expense of vulnerable patients.
Illegally marketed hormones and puberty blockers, which are in no way licensed or approved for this use.
This is exactly what Hitler did when they started banning and burning books concerning gender studies in Germany.
Also, he plans to assaul “Wokeness”, “DEI” and “racial discrimination against Whites” by establishing “new standards” in our schools.
These standards will include defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, eliminating wasteful administrative positions that drive up costs incredibly, removing all Marxist diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucrats, offering options for accelerated and low-cost degrees, providing meaningful job placement and career services, and implementing college entrance and exit exams to prove that students are actually learning and getting their money's worth.
Furthermore, I will direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination. And schools that persist in explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will not only have their endowment taxed, but through budget reconciliation, I will advance a measure to have them fined up to the entire amount of their endowment.
A portion of the seized funds will then be used as restitution for victims of these illegal and unjust policies, policies that hurt our country so badly. Colleges have gotten hundreds of billions of dollars from hard-working taxpayers and now we are going to get this anti-American insanity out of our institutions once and for all.
So yeah, Master race stuff.
If you want a more direct parallel, Trump - like Hitler - instituted Detention Camps for his undesirables and he plans to expand them in his second term.
WASHINGTON, April 30 (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump does not rule out building detention camps on U.S. soil for migrants in the country illegally if he wins a second White House term, he told Time magazine in an interview published on Tuesday.
Trump was asked whether he would build new detention camps as part of his campaign pledge to carry out the biggest deportation of migrants in the country illegally.
"I would not rule out anything," Trump said. "But there wouldn't be that much of a need for them" because, he said, the plan is to deport migrants in the U.S. illegally back to their home countries as quickly as possible.
"We're not leaving them in the country," Trump said. "We're bringing them out."
And just for the record, Trump has not exactly had nothing but sunshine and sprinkles to say about Jews.
WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) - Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump drew outrage from the White House, Democrats and leaders of Jewish groups for saying Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats hate their religion and Israel.
"Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion, they hate everything about Israel and they should be ashamed of themselves," said Trump, who hopes to unseat President Joe Biden, a Democrat, in the Nov. 5 U.S. election.
"The Democrat Party hates Israel," he said in the interview with his former adviser Sebastian Gorka posted on his website on Monday.
Groups including the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Committee and the Jewish Democratic Council of America condemned Trump's remarks for tying religion to how people might vote.
If you vote for Democrats you “Hate Israel” he says, when in fact 79% of Jews tend to vote for Democrats. So almost 8 in 10 Jews hate Isreal? Really?
He plans to gut the nation’s civil service officers who are sworn to implement and protect the Constitution regardless of party, and instead install loyalist who will implement even his most ridiculous whim even if it’s illegal and unconstitutional.
CLEAN OUT THE DEEP STATE: President Trump has announced a ten-point plan to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption:
1. On Day One, re-issue 2020 executive order restoring the president’s authority to fire rogue bureaucrats.
2. Overhaul federal departments and agencies, firing all of the corrupt actors in our National Security and Intelligence apparatus.
3. Fundamentally reform the FISA courts, ensuring that corruption is rooted out.
4. Establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, censorship, and abuses of power.
5. Launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the media to create false narratives, pressing criminal charges when appropriate.
6. Make every Inspector General’s Office independent from the departments they oversee, so that they do not become protectors of the deep state.
7. Establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure that they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people.
8. Continue Trump administration effort to move parts of the federal bureaucracy outside of the Washington Swamp, just like President Trump moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado.
Up to 100,000 government positions could be moved out of Washington.
9. Ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and regulate, such as Big Pharma.
10. Push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress.
Also, again like Hitler - Trump plans to put the Active Military and National Guard into the streets and our polling stations to maintain “Order.”
1. President Trump will sign a record investment in hiring, retention, and training for police officers. The bill will increase vital liability protections for America’s law enforcement officers.
2. President Trump will require local law enforcement agencies receiving DOJ grants to return to proven policing measures such as stop-and-frisk, strictly enforcing existing gun laws, cracking down on the open use of illegal drugs, and cooperating with ICE to arrest and deport criminal aliens.
3. President Trump will take on the radical Marxist prosecutors who have abolished cash bail and refuse to charge criminals. President Trump will direct the DOJ to open civil rights investigations into radical leftist prosecutor’s officers, such as those in Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco to determine whether they have illegally engaged in race-based law enforcement.
4. President Trump will instruct the Department of Justice to dismantle every gang, street crew, and drug network in America. President Trump has also called for the death penalty for drug dealers and human traffickers.
5. President Trump has committed to deploying federal assets, including the National Guard, to restore law and order when local law enforcement refuses to act.
6. President Trump will order the Education and Justice Departments to overhaul federal standards on disciplining minors.
7. Finally, President Trump will sign concealed carry reciprocity legislation, fully secure the border, dramatically increase interior enforcement, and wage war on the cartels.
So yeah, a “Police State” is the goal.
There’s lots and lots of Hitler/Mussolini stuff here. The “Abraham Accords” doesn’t hardly make up for any of it.
