“I don’t think he’s capable of resigning,” De Niro told Stelter. “He will say it’s rigged or this or that. The day after he was elected, I said, well, give him a chance. You never know. You will see. But he is the — he’s worse than I ever could have imagined.”
“F— them, f— them,” De Niro said to Stelter of his critics on Fox News, before theatrically apologizing for cursing. When Stelter asked about his use of foul language to make the point, De Niro justified it by saying “this guy is like a gangster” and “we’re in a terrible situation.” He also said he thinks Fox News is responsible for propping up Trump.
“Some of these other pundits on Fox … I can’t believe that they would actually buy into this craziness. This guy is — should not be president, period,” De Niro said. “And this guy just keeps going on and on and on without being stopped.”
Fox News did not immediately respond to CNN Business’ request for comment.
As for his portrayal of Mueller on “Saturday Night Live,” De Niro said he hopes to bring the character back. He said he’s already spoken to the show’s Executive Producer Lorne Michaels about doing a sketch depicting “all the things people would have wished Mueller had done — would have done, should have done, could have done,” while he was acting as special counsel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.
De Niro’s new film, “The Irishman,” directed by Martin Scorsese, opens in theaters on November 1 and on Netflix on November 27.
