In the video, De Niro can also be heard calling Trump a “blatantly stupid” and “punk” artist. De Niro’s message to Trump didn’t make the final cut of a celebrity Get Out The Vote advertisement, but The Kelly File show has obtained the footage. De Niro said Trump is “so blatantly stupid”, and called him almost every name including a “punk”, a “pig”, a “con”, and an “embarrassment to this country”, reports foxnews.com. “He talks how he’d like to punch people in the face?” De Niro said. “Well, I’d like to punch him in the face.” With inputs from agencies
