Donald Trump has renewed his attacks on Robert De Niro following the actor's criticism of him as an "idiot" on a recent podcast and at an event in Washington. Trump responded on Truth Social, calling De Niro "sick and demented" with a "low IQ," claiming he "broke down in tears" and compared him to Rosie O'Donnell. Trump also used the opportunity to criticize representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, calling them "low IQ" and suggesting they should be "institutionalized" or deported. This exchange follows De Niro's previous criticisms of Trump, including calling him a "jerk, an idiot... and a clown" before the 2024 election. Trump frequently uses the term "Trump derangement syndrome" to describe his political opponents.
