De Niro denounces Trump policies at protest rally: 'We have had enough'

Actor Robert De Niro delivered a speech during the "No Kings" protests, a national movement criticising the actions of Donald Trump, calling for an end to what he described as a "king-like" presidency, says The News.

Speaking at a rally, De Niro said, "We've had enough." He added, "It's time to say no to kings."

In an extended address, he said: "It's time to say no to Donald Trump. We've had enough. No King Trump, no unnecessary wars that rob our resources, sacrifice our brave servicemen and women and slaughter innocents."

He also criticised what he described as corruption among political leaders, saying: "No corrupt leader enriching himself and the Epstein class buddies."

On domestic issues, De Niro said: "No taking away healthcare from our most vulnerable neighbours, no unaffordable groceries, no unaffordable energy, no unaffordable housing and no inflation at its highest level since COVID."

He further condemned what he described as excessive use of force and governance failures, stating: "No government masked thugs shooting down our neighbours in the streets. Trump has to be stopped. He can't do all the f**** up things he's been doing without the collusion of Congress and the goons in his administration."

Other public figures also took part in protests across the country, including Jane Fonda, Bruce Springsteen and Joan Baez. Television host Jimmy Kimmel and actor Jamie Lee Curtis expressed support for the movement on social media.
