Robert De Niro’s viral video in which he says he would like to punch Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in the face has received a lot of positive comments. However, actor Jon Voight said he is “ashamed” of De Niro’s “ugly rant”.
“I think that Jon Voight, he’s a nice guy, but he’s delusional,” Gulf News quoted De Niro as saying on Sunday.
“He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a pig, he’s a con, he’s a bulls*** artist, a mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” De Niro says in the video.
He went on to describe Trump as an embarrassment to the country, saying he doesn’t do his homework and doesn’t pay his taxes.
He said he cared about “the direction of this country” and was worried that it might go in the wrong direction if Trump were elected.
The actor, 73, is in Dubai to promote the twin-island country of Antigua and Barbuda as a tourist destination. As a frequent visitor to the Caribbean islands — and an investor of $250 million in local tourism — he was invited to speak at a Destination Antigua and Barbuda conference as a ‘special economic envoy’.
The video went viral at the same time that a leaked audio clip from 2005 of Trump advocating for groping women and “grabbing them by the [expletive]”.
De Niro was asked what question he might have for Trump at the latest town hall in America.
“I don’t even know what kind of question to ask him, because he’s so stupid. There’s nothing to talk about,” he said, before reiterating: “I’d love to punch him in the face.”
