Today in Trumpland, a fan has painted his hero as Muhammad Ali defeating Robert De Niro – no, really
Robert De Niro really doesn’t like Donald Trump, and he’s not afraid to say so – in the most NSFW terms.
For example, here’s his rant about Trump on a recent episode of The View. Whoever was in charge of the bleep button deserves an award.

As Trump’s fraud case in New York drew to a close, De Niro absolutely eviscerated him.
De Niro: It is a coward's violence. You think trump every threw a punch himself? Or took one? He hid in the White House bunker with protestors outside. He directs the mob to do his dirty work for him. pic.twitter.com/CnfqOHfOrR

Outside the courtroom, Trump hit back.
Trump just destroyed Robert De Niro lmao
"And then they have a protester, Robert De Niro yesterday. He's a fool. He's a broken down fool. Standing out there–he got MAGA-ED. He got MAGA-ED yesterday. He got a big dose of it" pic.twitter.com/jJLE4fi4G1

His spokesperson, Jason Miller, described the recently Oscar-nominated actor as ‘washed up’.
Miller: The best that Biden can do is roll out a washed up actor. Don’t worry, my remarks will be shorter than The Irishman. pic.twitter.com/bMP49qhxAR

Trump then took to Truth Social to air more of his thoughts on De Niro.
Perhaps the most MAGA-coded response was from Staten Island artist Scott LoBaido, who depicted the almost 78-year-old former President – who has spent a portion of his time in court asleep – as a Muhammad Ali-esque boxer, but instead of a defeated Sonny Liston at his feet, it’s Robert De Niro.

Let’s take another look at that.
The Trump cultists might not realise how ridiculous it is, but everybody else does, and the comments are spectacular.

Trump as a Black man beating up an elderly man is so many levels of wrong my brain has short-circuited. What even is this monstrosity? Is it so awful it has somehow become genuine art? https://t.co/oTN2KqiUYP

He’s so awful that in order for the cult to keep following him, they have to imagine him as something he’s not. https://t.co/8AbZzMQRa2

Just when you thought they’d hit the cringe motherlode, they go and pull a stunt like this.
