Robert De Niro Slams Trump in Rousing Manifesto: ‘I’ve Spent a Lot of Time Studying Bad Men’ (Video)
Robert De Niro wrote a lengthy statement denouncing former President Donald Trump for ex-Trump official Miles Taylor to read at The New Republic’s “Stop Trump Summit” on Wednesday.
The actor didn’t even attend the event, as he is currently recovering from Covid-19, but he had a lot to say via Taylor at the New York City gathering.
“We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew firsthand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership” De Niro wrote. “We tried to warn the world in 2016.”
“I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty,” De Niro also wrote. “Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man.

Presidential Candidate Ron DeSantis said that he would be open to using drone strikes on Mexican drug cartels during a Thursday campaign event in Iowa.
When asked by a voter if he would use “drones” or other military measures against the cartels, DeSantis replied, “Yes. I’ve already said that.”
“We will absolutely reserve the right if they’re invading our country and killing our people, we have the right to defend this country […] and it’s not just if they happen to come over the border,” the Florida governor added.

Stephen Miller, one of Donald Trump’s top immigration advisers, advocated using U.S. predator drones in 2018 to blow up migrant boats full of unarmed civilians, according to an upcoming book by a former administration official.
In a passage reviewed by Rolling Stone, former Trump Department of Homeland Security appointee Miles Taylor writes about an April 2018 conversation in which Miller allegedly advocated an attack on a migrant ship headed for the United States. Miller, Taylor writes, argued for the potential mass killing of civilians by suggesting they were not protected under the U.
