WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is slamming actor Robert De Niro as “a very Low IQ individual.”

At Sunday night’s Tony Awards, De Niro launched an expletive at Trump. On Monday, the actor apologized to Canadians for the “idiotic behavior of my president.”

Trump is responding on Twitter as he returns from his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore.

Trump says De Niro, who won an Academy Award for his performance in 1980’s “Raging Bull,” ”has received to (sic) many shots to the head by real boxers in movies.”

  1. Robert De Niro is the Raging Bull.

    Tweety Amin is the Raging Bullshitter.

  2. And Trump has been using Nice n Easy for how many years? It sure hasn’t made him nice but the easy part is not in doubt.

  3. Projection President strikes again!

  4. “… too many shots to the head by real boxers in movies. I watched him last night…”

    Right, because special effects don’t exist and actors actually get punched.
    Do you suppose he believes that people who get shot in movies actually die?

  5. I would love for DeNiro to pull a defamation of character suit for this attack. The IQ thing can be substantiated as well as a doctor’s report as to his mental condition.

    This kind of crap will only stop when he gets the crap sued out of him. And yes, it’s worth it. Demeaning one’s opposition is a very effective tool when there is some truth behind it, but just pulling alternative facts out of one’s hind end without substantiation should be dealt with accordingly.
