Trump lashes out at Robert De Niro.
WASHINGTON— President Trump punched back against Robert De Niro on Tuesday, calling the actor “punch drunk” for his profane anti-Trump rant at the Tony Awards on Sunday.
“Robert De Niro, a very Low IQ individual, has received too many shots to the head by real boxers in movies,” Trump tweeted from aboard Air Force One on Tuesday.
“I watched him last night and truly believe he may be ‘ punchdrunk,’” Trump tweeted. “I guess he doesn’t realize the economy is the best it’s ever been with employment being at an all time high, and many companies pouring back into our country. Wake up Punchy!”
De Niro portrayed boxer Jake La Motta in the film “Raging Bull.”
