Robert De Niro’s brutal jab at Trump during Cannes speech

At the Cannes Film Festival, Robert De Niro grabbed headlines — not just for picking up the honorary Palme d’Or for lifetime achievement, but for throwing some serious shade at Donald Trump.

The famous actor didn’t hold back during his speech, taking a sharp jab at Trump and his politics.

The Goodfellas star also condemned Trump’s new tariff announcement: “He has cut funding and support to the arts, humanities, and education, and now he has announced a 100 per cent tariff on films that are produced outside the US.” After a moment to let the words sink in, he told the audience, “Let that sink in for a minute.”
