Last night on HBO‘s Real Time with Bill Maher, actor Robert De Niro sounded off on former President Donald Trump, telling US voters that Joe Biden is the only clear choice in the 2024 election.

De Niro, who has spoken out about Trump in the past, says voters who choose the Republican candidate are choosing to “live in a nightmare.”

“We wanna live in a world that we want to live in and enjoy living in, or live in a nightmare?” De Niro posed to the host. “Vote for Trump and you’ll get the nightmare, vote for Biden and we’ll be back to normalcy.”

He further explained: “I just don’t want to feel the way I did (and many of us did) the many months after the election in 2016, where we couldn’t believe that it happened. [Trump] is a total monster…

“I don’t understand it,” he continued, questioning why anyone would vote for Trump. “I guess they get behind that kind of logic, they wanna f*** with people, screw them, because they’re unhappy about something. He’s such a mean, nasty, hateful person.”

De Niro added that he would never play Trump as an actor because he failed to see “any good in him. Nothing, nothing at all, nothing redeemable.”

He then called him “a sociopathic, psychopathic, malignant narcissist,” to which the audience applauded.

“If he wins the election, you won’t be on this show anymore,” he told Maher. “He’ll come looking for me. There’ll be things that happen that none of us could imagine.”

“The bottom line is Biden’s our guy,” he concluded. “He represents what this country’s supposed to be about.”

Following De Niro’s speech at the Gotham Awards late last year, Trump publicly criticized the Oscar-winning star and branded him a “total loser.”

“Robert De Niro, whose acting talents have greatly diminished, with his reputation now shot, must even use a teleprompter for his foul and disgusting language, so disrespectful to our Country,” wrote Trump.

“He has become unwatchable both in movies, and with the FOOLS that destroyed the Academy Awards, bringing them from one of the top shows in the Country to a Low Rated afterthought,” the ex-president added.

“De Niro should focus on his life, which is a mess, rather than the lives of others. He has become a total loser, as the World watches, waits, and laughs!”

De Niro, who most recently starred in Martin Scorcese‘s Killers of the Flower Moon, will likely be at the Oscars this Sunday (March 10) considering the film has been nominated for several awards, including Best Picture.
