The former president says Robert De Niro suffers from "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

Donald Trump has responded to Robert De Niro saying he would never play the former president in a movie with a scathing post on his website, Truth Social. Appearing on Real Time With Bill Maher on Friday, the Killers of The Flower Moon star explained that he sees "nothing redeemable" in Trump.

“Robert De Niro has a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome” Trump fired back. “Such a stupid sounding guy, a low IQ individual!” It's far from the first time De Niro has spoken ill of Trump. In 2016, he admitted he’d like to “punch him in the face.”

As for De Niro's most recent remarks, he said in full: “He's such a mean, nasty, hateful person. I’d never play him as an actor, because I can't see any good in him. Nothing, nothing at all. Nothing redeemable in him. I just don't want to feel the way I did. And many of us don't." He added, referring to 2016. “It can’t be. It cannot be. If he wins the election, you won't be on this show anymore. He'll come looking for me. [There will] be things that happen that none of us can imagine. That's what happens in that kind of a dictatorship, which is what he says [he wants]. Let's believe him. Take him at his word.”
