Robert De Niro calls Trump a "coward"

Robert De Niro, the actor best known for his roles in “Taxi Driver,” “Goodfellas” and “The Godfather II,” spoke on behalf of President Joe Biden's campaign Tuesday at a surprise press conference outside Donald Trump’s Manhattan criminal hush money trial.

"We New Yorkers used to tolerate him when he was just another grubby real estate hustler, masquerading as a big shot," De Niro said, describing the former president as a "two-bit playboy" who had been "lying his way into the tabloids." About 20 Trump supporters were spotted in a park nearby waving flags, including one that declared: “Trump or Death.”
