De Niro continued talking about the former president of the United States donald trump: “Lying has become yet another tool in the charlatan’s arsenal. The former president lied to us more than 30,000 times during his four years in power. And he is keeping pace with his current campaign for retribution. But with all the lies, he cannot hide his soul”.
“He preys on the weak, destroys nature’s gifts and shows disrespect, for example by using ‘Pocahontas’ as an insult. Filmmakers, on the other hand, try hard — that’s where I came from and saw that they had edited everything.”
The actor suggested that he would end the speech with a thank you to the Gotham Awards and Apple. “But I don’t feel like I should thank them for what they did. How dare they do that, really?”
