On Jan. 9, Robert De Niro [1] had the pleasure of introducing Meryl Streep [2] at the National Board of Review awards gala for her most recent work in The Post [3]. But what caught our eye is the fact that he also took the opportunity to throw some very intense jabs at Donald Trump [4]. The 74-year-old started off by drawing comparisons between the time the movie takes place [5], during Nixon's presidency, and now. "That story took place nearly 50 years ago, but there are many parallels today obviously [6]. At the time of the story, Donald Trump was suffering from bone spurs," he said to the audience. "Today, the world is suffering from the real Donald Trump . . . This f**king idiot is the president . . . the guy is a f**king tool."

De Niro also touched on Trump's continuous attacks against the media [7]. "Our government today, with the propping of our baby-in-chief — the Jerkoff-in-chief I call him — has put the press under siege, ridiculing it through trying to discredit it though outrageous attacks and lies." By now, we would have expected Trump to respond via Twitter — but it seems he has his hands full with trying to prove his campaign didn't collude with Russia [8] to win the 2016 election.
