MS NOW’s Nicolle Wallace showered Robert De Niro<\/a> with partisan praise during yet another weepy interview about Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0‘destroying’ the United States.<\/p>\n

‘I want my country back,’ the actor said at a point during the sit-down – before eventually breaking down into tears.<\/p>\n

Wallace had asked: ‘You\u2019re always about lifting up everybody around you everybody. Why is that?’\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘You have to- you have to lift people up’,\u00a0The actor replied, his voice rife with emotion.<\/p>\n

The melodramatic exchange amounted to the the A-lister’s most recent criticism of Trump, whom he framed as an enemy.<\/p>\n

\u00a0‘You have to bring them together,’ the actor said, now sniveling and overcome with emotion. ‘You can\u2019t divide people. You can\u2019t win that way.’<\/p>\n

The Raging Bull star went on to call the country’s current state off affairs ‘a no-win situation’.<\/p>\n

‘And look what we have, look who we have there, it\u2019s almost like a destiny to have this this thing there, destroying- attempting to destroy this country and maybe not even understanding why.<\/p>\n

The conversation on Monday’s edition of Wallace’s podcast – The Best People with Nicolle Wallace – largely revolved around Donald Trump. Wallace is seen reacting to De Niro’s tears here<\/p>\n

‘So it\u2019s up to us to protect the country,’ he concluded, becoming increasingly choked up.<\/p>\n

‘That we love?’ Wallace interrupted. The journalist could be seen looking on at the actor adoringly, waiting with bated breath.<\/p>\n

‘Yes,’ De Niro answered, visibly on the verge of tears.<\/p>\n

Wallace acknowledged, ‘You weren\u2019t supposed to make me cry’, although her face was bone dry with no sign of any tears or even emotion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

De Niro joined Wallace for her Monday edition of The Best People podcast, during which the two took aim at the president for the better part of an hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s time for us who\u2019ve taken this country for granted to stand up and get rid of this guy. When you talk about the stakes of the election, it\u2019s clear, it\u2019s plain, the evidence is before our eyes,’ De Niro, 82, said at a point.<\/p>\n

‘I do see what we\u2019re up against, and it makes me so angry. I don\u2019t see how we can ignore it,’ he continued. ‘There\u2019s no easy way around this. It takes a determination and knowing that you have no choice but to go forward. If you don\u2019t go forward, it\u2019s over.’<\/p>\n

Wallace ended the interview by asking De Niro\u00a0whether he believed this was ‘the moment’ the US moves\u00a0towards something ‘better’ –<\/p>\n

\"'I <\/p>\n

‘I don’t know. All I know is people have to have to resist, resist, resist. There’s no easy way,’ De Niro said of how to deal with Trump<\/p>\n

De Niro responded: ‘I don’t know. All I know is people have to have to resist, resist, resist. There’s no easy way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s not going to come to you easy,’ he added.<\/p>\n

‘You better jump and run through the fire because if you don\u2019t run through the fire, you\u2019re not getting out and that\u2019s what we have to do.’<\/p>\n

De Niro’s comments come months after the nationwide ‘No Kings’ protests against the administration late last year.<\/p>\n

They also come not long after\u00a0De Niro likened Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller to Adolf Hitler’s chief propagandist<\/a>\u00a0Joseph Goebbels on MS NOW’s\u00a0<\/a>The Weekend back in October.<\/p>\n

He had been asked if he thinks Trump will graciously leave the White House<\/a> when his term expires in 2028.<\/p>\n

‘No way,’ he said. ‘We see it all the time – he will not want to leave,’ De Niro said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MS NOW’s Nicolle Wallace showered Robert De Niro with partisan praise during yet another weepy interview about Donald…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":313891,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,539,93,61,60,1634,48807,115],"class_list":{"0":"post-313890","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-dailymail","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-media","14":"tag-robert-de-niro","15":"tag-united-states"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=313890"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313890\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/313891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=313890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=313890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=313890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
