BREAKING: Trump threatens to DEPORT Robert De Niro in unhinged tirade after State of the Union.

In a late-night meltdown that stunned even longtime observers, President Donald Trump launched a furious attack on Hollywood icon Robert De Niro — and floated the idea of deporting him.

Yes. Deporting him. An American citizen.

After facing heckling during his State of the Union address, Trump took to Truth Social to unload on critics, lumping De Niro in with Democratic lawmakers Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, and calling the Oscar-winning actor “sick,” “demented,” and “seriously CRIMINAL.” He then suggested De Niro and others should “get on a boat” and leave the country.

Let’s pause there.

Robert De Niro — born in Manhattan, raised in New York City, one of the most celebrated American actors of all time — was just threatened with exile by a sitting president for criticizing him.

Trump mocked De Niro for becoming emotional and claimed some of the actor’s statements were “seriously criminal,” though he offered no evidence of any crime. Instead, the post read like a stream-of-consciousness rant, filled with insults, name-calling, and baseless accusations.

This wasn’t policy. It wasn’t debate. It was pure grievance politics.

And the target wasn’t some anonymous online critic — it was a Hollywood legend who has spent decades shaping American culture.

Trump’s comments follow a familiar pattern: when challenged, escalate. When criticized, threaten. From attacking members of Congress to now fantasizing about deporting a U.S.-born actor, the rhetoric keeps getting darker.

Legal experts have long warned that labeling political criticism as “criminal” is a dangerous line to cross. Free speech doesn’t disappear because it hurts the president’s feelings. But in Trump’s world, dissent equals disloyalty.

The irony? De Niro’s “crime” appears to be publicly opposing Trump’s policies.

That’s not criminal. That’s democracy.

And if speaking out against power now earns you a ticket “on a boat,” the question isn’t what De Niro did wrong. It’s how far this rhetoric is willing to go.
