"Do you have to use a teleprompter when speaking about Donald Trump, or are you able to just riff on your thoughts?" Jimmy Kimmel asked.
Robert De Niro didn't laugh. "He's so stupid. I mean, look at the lame, inane things that he says," the legendary actor replied bluntly. "He's a moron."
The audience chuckled, expecting a standard late-night comedy bit. But the tone quickly shifted from political banter to a raw, heavy dissection of power and devotion.
"Do you think he pretends to be dumber than he is to confuse people?" Kimmel asked.
De Niro shook his head, his face hardening into absolute disgust. "No. I don't think so."
"I'm curious why you guess that there is a big group of people in this country who believe that he cares about them," Kimmel pressed.
De Niro leaned forward, his voice heavy with disbelief. "I am totally dumbfounded. Baffled by that. I can't understand it. It's the same thing... 'give us your money, we'll save you.'"
The late-night audience was waiting for a punchline. Instead, the actor delivered a chilling psychological autopsy of a man who commands millions, yet is completely hollow inside.
"It's all out of insecurity," De Niro said, his voice dropping. "He is deeply, deeply insecure. He's a malignant narcissist. He's a socio-psychopath."
Society sells us the delusion that massive influence is built on strength, intellect, and sheer force of will. We assume that to capture the absolute blind loyalty of millions, a leader must possess a brilliant, strategic mind.
Robert De Niro exposed a terrifying truth about human nature.
The loudest, most destructive people in the room are rarely strong. Often, they are just terrified, insecure children screaming to hide their internal void. The ultimate tragedy isn't that a broken man demands to be treated like a god - it's that millions of people will gladly drop to their knees and hand a terrified child the matches to watch the world burn down.
This may be a long video,but it’s so worth it because these are just a few of the reasons Barack Obama is one of the most loved Presidents in this Country’s history and why he still packs venues. Try not to cry and it will be hard not too.
Since Obama is back on the stump today, here’s your reminder of the best political speech of my lifetime. If you haven’t heard it or haven’t heard it in a while, enjoy getting fired up and ready to go. 👊🏼 🌊
Student to J.D. Vance: When did you decide there were “too many immigrants,” and why sell us a dream? We spent our youth here..., paid what you asked, followed your path. How can you say we don’t belong... and remove people here rightfully? (October 2025)
🗣Jason Cundy: "I found it hilarious. I cheered the #ManCity goals — the whole footballing world was looking at City as the bad guys. City turned up, pulled their pants down and gave them a spanking" 🤣
"That City away end will go down as one of the best away ends in history" 🩵
Travelling Manchester City fans have placed bulk orders for inflatable bananas ahead of the Liverpool match, framing the display as a celebration of club history and a show of support after the committee ruling. Reviving a tradition that began at Maine Road in 1987.

I think the level of hysteria around the Man City case is becoming very weird.
People genuinely acting like the Club has to be destroyed and sent to the shadow realm have lost the plot in my opinion.
They weren’t found guilty of match fixing. They weren’t paying refs. This isn’t comparable to the Serie A scandal or Lance Armstrong.
They saw an anti-competitive and unjust rule which only allowed the same 4 teams to dominate the League and said “no, we don’t want to wait decades to slowly build up revenues and have to sell our best players every time they do well to stop us from succeeding. We have the money, we’re not going to be irresponsible with Man City’s finances, we want to invest and compete now”.
Again, the idea that every team other than 3/4 in the League has to go on a constant merry-go-round of “hey that player for you guys is really good, we’re going to just take him because you can’t invest any more of your own money and he would be wasted at a middling team like you” is wrong. It doesn’t help football in this country and the rules should change to allow these clubs to be bought by owners with even deeper pockets who can give those clubs and even higher chance of sustained success.
