Former President Donald Trump issued a sharp and devastating comeback to Robert De Niro after the aging actor delivered an unhinged rant outside a Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump slammed ‘TDS sufferer’ De Niro, whose remarks were drowned out by car alarms, a helicopter, and MAGA supporters.
Trump wrote on Truth Social:
“I never knew how small, both mentally and physically, Wacko Former Actor Robert De Niro was.”
“Today, De Niro, who suffers from an incurable case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, commonly known in the medical community as TDS, was met, outside the Courthouse, with a force far greater than the Radical Left – MAGA.”
De Niro appeared on Joe Biden‘s campaign behalf and was joined by former Capitol Police officers Harry Dunn and Michael Fanone.
Dunn, whose account of the January 6th, 2021 riots was called into question after he claimed rioters yelled racial slurs, lost very badly in the Maryland 3rd congressional district Democratic primary election earlier this month.
“Do we want him running this country,” the actor said in his remarks.
“And saying, ‘I’m not leaving, I’m dictator for life’?”
De Niro then declared Trump a “tyrant” before verbally sparring with Trump supporters who yelled out, “You’re washed up, De Niro!”
“You’re gangsters!” the actor shouted back at the Trump supporters.
The MAGA hat-wearing protester refused to back down, responding, “You’re trash. Your movies suck. You’re done!”
Some protestors followed the actor and his security guards with chants of “We love Trump” and “Juan Merchan is corrupt” and followed De Niro to his car.

While the Biden campaign acknowledged authorizing the “guerrilla-style” presser, they claimed its strategy around Trump’s trial remains unchanged.
The Biden campaign has privately expressed frustration that Trump’s ongoing criminal trials have failed to dent his popularity and even helping in him in the polls.
