Robert De Niro just showed up outside the New York City courthouse, where Trump is facing 34 felony counts.
Rightwing lunatics are already trying to start conspiracy theories lying and saying that this is proof that Biden is behind the trial. Mainstream media wants to make it all about De Niro’s brief interaction with a heckler. What a disgusting but laughable joke.
So I wanted to give you the real story.
Let’s start with the picture above. That is Robert De Niro defending former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and former DC Police Officer Michael Fanone, who were called “traitors” by a heckling coward. He got his ass handed to him, as he should. “They stood there and fought for us! For you!” De Niro said to him.
De Niro, Dunn and Fanone all took the chance to speak. They barely referenced the trial, instead using the opportunity to remind everyone of the chaos that Trump would unleash upon the world if he were back in the White House.
I think this strategy is brilliant. We can’t afford to let Trump control the narrative anymore. Every day there should be some sort of counter-press conference by the Biden campaign where they can go on the offensive against Trump.
There should be a constant media pushback so that Trump never gets the airtime to himself ever again. There should always be a rebuttal of some sort to everything he does. This is how we beat the wannabe dictator who knows how to play the media like a fiddle.
Here are some of my favorite quotes from the press conference:
Robert De Niro
“I don’t mean to scare you. No, wait, maybe I do mean to scare you. If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted.”
“I love this city. I don’t want to destroy it. Donald Trump wants to destroy not only the city but the country, and, eventually, he could destroy the world.”
“He doesn’t belong in my city, I don’t know where he belongs, but he certainly doesn’t belong here … We New Yorkers used to tolerate him when he was just another grubby real estate hustler masquerading as a big shot, a two-bit Playboy lying his way into the tabloids, pretending to be a spokesman, a spokesperson for himself … to fool the press into inflating his net worth.”
De Niro continued, saying Trump convinced “self-styled patriots to support a man who called for terminating the Constitution, and on January 6th rallied an angry mob to threaten democracy, leaving death and destruction in its wake.”
“This is the time to stop (Trump) by voting him out once and for all.”
Michael Fanone
“I came here today to remind Americans of what Donald Trump is capable of and the violence that he unleashed on all Americans on Jan. 6, 2021.”
“I’m just one representative of the 100’s of police officers that were assaulted that day by Donald Trump supporters, inspired BY HIS LIES. The lies that continue to this day to inspire my fellow Americans to turn against their fellow Americans, to turn against police officers.”
Harry Dunn
“Donald Trump is the greatest threat to our democracy and the safety of communities across the country today. He has encouraged and continues to encourage political violence.”
“Americans need to wake up. This is not a drill … We can’t count on these institutions to stop Donald Trump … It’s going to take us Americans at the ballot box to defeat him once and for all.”
The world needs to wake up to the danger Trump poses to all of us. Problem is, mainstream media won’t stop being manipulated by him, so that’s where we come in.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, Mr. De Niro. You are highly respected, extremely articulate, and a true American Patriot♥️💙🇺🇸. You speaking out means so much, many will stop and listen and it’s so important to get people to listen. I have been hoping Democrats would get out to the Courthouse and challenge TFG and his usual pack of liars, but that hasn’t happened until today. Your presence will draw MEDIA ATTENTION which is exactly what we need- thank you again!!

I couldn’t agree more! We have GOT TO CONTROL THE NARRATIVE! I think for too long the Democrats have been too nice and too complacent!
