As for De Niro’s most recent remarks, he said in full: “He’s such a mean, nasty, hateful person. I’d never play him as an actor, because I can’t see any good in him. Nothing, nothing at all. Nothing redeemable in him. I just don’t want to feel the way I did. And many of us don’t.” He added, referring to 2016. “It can’t be. It cannot be. If he wins the election, you won’t be on this show anymore. He’ll come looking for me. [There will] be things that happen that none of us can imagine. That’s what happens in that kind of a dictatorship, which is what he says [he wants]. Let’s believe him. Take him at his word.”
