From Yahoo News this bit of bizarre, “Donald Trump is ‘totally nuts,’ says Robert de Niro“.  I know.  Mr. de Niro simply portrays a series of crazed, nutbags bent on mayhem.  Quite skillfully portrays, I might add.  And with great insight and sensitivity, tossed in with a measure of menace, too.

SARAJEVO (Reuters) – U.S. actor and producer Robert De Niro said on Saturday that U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump should DeNiro_What_Did_I_Tell_Younot run for president because he was “totally nuts”.

Trump, a billionaire businessman seeking his first public office, has courted controversy with a string of inflammatory statements about his main opponent Hillary Clinton, guns, Mexicans, Muslims and war veterans, among others.

De Niro made the comments to a Sarajevo audience as he presented a digital version of Martin Scorsese’s film “Taxi Driver”, in which he starred, to mark its 40th anniversary.

Am I the only one to note how ironic these comments are coming on the 40th anniversary of “Taxi Driver” in which he was a true wackjob?   Now who’s talkin’ to you, Bob?
