You talking to me? You talking to me?
Yeah, I'm talking to you. And I'm telling you that actor Robert De Niro has shown us what a liberal loon he is by comparing his Travis Bickle character in the movie Taxi Driver to Donald Trump. The Associated Press reported on De Niro's latest lunacy while he attended the Sarajevo Film Festival:
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) -- Robert De Niro says Donald Trump is like the main character of the legendary 1976 movie "Taxi Driver," the mentally disturbed Travis Bickle.
"What he has been saying is totally crazy, ridiculous, stuff that shouldn't be even ... he is totally nuts," De Niro said during a question and answer session at the Sarajevo Film Festival.
When the moderator asked De Niro to elaborate on Bickle's mental illness, the first thing that seemed to have crossed the actor's mind was the Republican candidate.
"One of the things to me was just the irony at the end, he (Bickle) is back driving a cab, celebrated, which is kind of relevant in some way today too," De Niro said.
"People like Donald Trump who shouldn't be where he is so ... God help us," De Niro said.
Sorry Mr. De Niro but it would be hard to find two people more different than Travis Bickle and Donald Trump. First of all, Bickle was living in a dumpy tenement yearning to impress the Cybill Shepherd character. I hardly think the Trump Tower penthouse abode of Trump compares with that plus he is already happily married to Melania. There are many other very obvious differences but somehow De Niro, for strictly political reasons, ridiculously attempted to connect the two.
If De Niro ever awakens from his convenient delusion, he might notice a very strong similarity between a certain presidential candidate and another movie character.
