- Robert De Niro questioned Trump's intelligence on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
- The actor said the former president was "dangerous" and told people not to vote for him.
Robert De Niro called Donald Trump a "fucking moron" in his latest comments amid their public feud.
De Niro and Trump have fired barbs at each other for several years after the actor criticized Trump's presidential election campaign in 2016 and said he wanted to punch him in the face. Their feud has been reignited as Trump campaigns for the 2024 presidential election.
On Monday's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" De Niro responded to two of Trump's social media posts about him, where the former president said De Niro had a "low IQ" and his acting had "greatly diminished."
"He's so fucking stupid," De Niro said. "Look at the lame, inane things that he said. He's so stupid he can't even say anything clever. He's a fucking moron."
De Niro encouraged the audience to vote to make sure Trump is not re-elected as president later this year. De Niro also said he was confused by why many US citizens still trust Trump.
"I just don't understand people could buy it. I just don't know. It's all an act in a certain way. It's all out of insecurity," De Niro said. "He is a malignant narcissist. He's a socio-psychopath."
He added: "It's so frightening and scary, and he's dangerous. We got to get rid of him."
De Niro was also critical of the Republican Party members who have supported Trump.
"Shame, shame, shame on those Republicans that don't have the nerve, the balls, to go after him. What do they tell their kids? What do they tell their grandkids?" he said. "He's like an outright fucking criminal."
De Niro isn't the only Hollywood star targeted by Trump's recent social media rants. The former president, estimated to be worth $2.5 billion, spent Sunday night mocking the Oscars and the event's host, Kimmel, on Truth Social.
"A really bad politically correct show tonight, and for years — Disjointed, boring, and very unfair," Trump wrote of the ceremony.
"Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars," Trump wrote in another post.
Near the end of the ceremony, Kimmel read Trump's post and said: "Thank you, President Trump. Thank you for watching. I'm surprised you're still ah — isn't it past your jail time?"
Trump is facing multiple civil lawsuits and four criminal cases, three of which are related to the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.
In February, Business Insider reported that Trump had spent over $52 million of his PAC donor money on legal fees. Although many of Trump's supporters donated the money for his presidential run, only about $861,000 was spent on law firms working on political issues.
Nearly $40 million was spent on personal legal problems.
Last month, New York judge Arthur Engoron ruled against Trump in one of his civil fraud cases, barring him from running any New York-based corporation for three years and ordering the former president to pay penalties of $355 million, which will rise due to daily interest. Trump plans to appeal the decision.
Trump's representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
