After seeing some of the snap shots from last week’s G7 Summit, world leaders aren’t the only ones who have hit the end of the rope with Donald Trump. But producers couldn’t have known what to expect when Robert De Niro took the stage at last night’s 72nd Annual Tony Awards’ in New York City.
De Niro sent producers into a bleep button frenzy while bringing the crowd their feet as he delivered an uncensored introduction for Bruce Springsteen at the Tonys.
An idea that was realized and sent them scrambling to hit the censor button on the Academy Award winning actor and icon. Raising two triumphant fists and a smug grin after dropping this scene stealing phrase, “I’m gonna say one thing: F—k Trump!” He continued, saying, “It’s no longer down with Trump, it’s F—k Trump!”
The Academy Award-winning icon’s expletive-laden utterance was the f-bomb heard around the world. And it was dropped so candidly, even Samuel L. Jackson would be proud. De Niro received a roaring standing ovation as he seemingly vocalized what other people in the room were thinking, but never had the guts or opportunity to say out loud. While NFL players like Malcolm Jenkins took the quiet approach, De Niro let it all hang out!
Fortunately, the censors bleeps weren’t international. Thanks to the Australian telecast, we could hear the Meet The Parents/Fockers star officially kick Donald Trump out of his famous “circle of trust!”
Thank God for TV down under.
Twitter was here for the actor’s comments and showed out with a hysterical amount of support for De Niro speaking his truth.
Robert De Niro is my favorite rapper.

Famed Star Wars actor and The Joker voice actor Mark Hamill also got in on the fun. Making fun of ‘how to get a standing ovation at the Tony Awards.’

Here are some other equally hilarious responses to the best F-Word usage all year:
Two little words that perfectly describe the sentiment of nearly every person alive on the planet today.

If De Niro saying "F*** Trump" is enough for a standing ovation, let me know when the limo is arriving to take me on my all-expenses paid trip to Hollywood.

NYTimes: Robert De Niro Uses Profanity to Condemn Trump at Tony Awards
ME: It's a miracle if anyone can talk about Trump without using profanity.— Jeri Henson Dies (@BionicBlonde) June 11, 2018
However, not everone is for De Niro’s televised tenacious tirade against the POTUS. British television host Piers Morgan pretty much called the speach ‘treasonous.’ He quickly took to Twitter and The Daily Mail to let us all know how he feels about his friend from across the pond.
*NEW COLUMN*
Trump-bashing stars like De Niro & Maher now hate him so much they’d rather see America sucked into war & recession than for him to succeed – we used to call that treason.https://t.co/JLYT8XcJZ6 pic.twitter.com/TCmUrCcobP— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 11, 2018
*NEW:
When American stars like De Niro scream 'F*CK TRUMP!' as their President strives for peace with North Korea – they're the problem, not him.

*NEW:
Americans should be cheering Trump on in his bid to win peace with North Korea. Instead, De Niro screams 'F*CK TRUMP!' & his luvvie mates roar him on.
It's pathetic & un-American.
