Academy Award Winning Actor-Robert De Niro Compares Donald Trump to His 'Taxi Driver' Character

De Niro

Donald seems to have no “important” friends but he’s still in the race.
He’s been called almost everything–from buffoon to a legend in jojingoism.
Now, Academy Award Winning actor Robert De Niro has compared him to his mentally unstable character-Travis Bickle in the 1976 movie “Taxi Driver,” saying the Republican Presidential candidate is “totally nuts.”
According to Reuters, De Niro said at the Sarajevo Film Festival that: “Come on Donald, this is ridiculous, this is nuts, this is insane”

“What he has been saying is totally crazy, ridiculous, stuff that shouldn’t be even … he is totally nuts,” he continued.

“I don’t know, it’s crazy that people like Donald Trump … he shouldn’t even be where he is, so God help us,” De Niro said as the Sarajevo National Theater erupted in applause.
“One of the things to me was just the irony at the end, he (Bickle) is back driving a cab, celebrated, which is kind of relevant in some way today too,” De Niro added, according to the Associated Press.
