Di Nero is Getting Nuttier by the Minute
There is an element within the Trump Derangement Syndrome folks that is living in some sort of fantasy land – personified by actor Robert De Niro. They see Trump as so dangerous that he must be removed from office immediately. “We cannot allow him to continue in office,” they chime. They reject the idea of Trump serving out his term.
It goes beyond De Niro. The extreme and irrational hysterical coalition goes beyond one nutcase actor. It is found all over the Internet – including one of my college classmates on Facebook. He wants Trump out immediately.
I find the messaging quite disturbing since there is only one way that they can achieve their goal of immediate removal — assassination. And there is no doubt that their rhetoric promotes the idea, even if unstated. By claiming Trump is an existential threat to the Republic – and all who call it home – they can create the necessity of removing him by any means in the minds of those who are seventy-five cents short of a dollar.
The solicitation goes on to say that “Donald Trump is growing more dangerous by the day, so Robert De Niro issued a WAKE-UP CALL to Democrats EVERYWHERE.” To do what? Remove him by any means? We have seen the results of that kind of incitement in two assassination attempts, several aborted attempts and an uptick in death threats against the President.
Yes, there are other options – impeachment with a conviction by the Senate and the 25th Amendment. De Niro & Company should know, however, that those options are non-starters. There is no way that the Senate – even if Democrats were to take control – will vote to remove Trump from office. The odds are within a sliver of zero.
As far as the 25th Amendment is concerned, the odds are at absolute zero. It would require the support of the Cabinet and Vice President. And even then, it is only temporary. The President can reclaim the office. Since it has never been tested, the 25th Amendment is a constitutional minefield.
(The 25th Amendment has prompted an interesting question. If a President’s second term is cut short, is he eligible to run again? We have a possible precedent. When a Vice President takes over upon the death of a President, it counts as a “term” for the Vice President if it occurs in the first two years of the deceased President’s term. But it is considered a first term for the Vice President if the ascension occurs in the last two years. It is an issue that the Supreme Court would resolve. But I digress)
Di Nero is venting his spleen in a fundraising email from something called the StopTrumpPAC — an affiliate of the Progressive Turnout Project. They are seeking petition signatures and, of course, money to remove Trump ostensibly by the 25th Amendment even though they most certainly know that will never happen – and certainly not as the result of some hopeless meaningless petition drive. One could reasonably argue that the StopTrumpPAC solicitation is outright fraudulent – asking for money for something that will never happen. It is no more credible than raising money to have the tooth fairy take Trump away in his sleep.
The solicitation reads: “So, if we fall a single signature short, our petition will be ignored. We’re begging sign now to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump from office.”
De Niro says Trump will not voluntarily leave. So what comes next?
De Niro and the folks at the StopTrumpPAC will swear they are not promoting violence, even if it is the only logical conclusion. They know the 25th Amendment will not accomplish their mission. So, what is left? Any low IQ nutcase with a gun and figure that out. And so can De Niro. Personally, I think he would be perfectly happy if a deranged left-wing whacko hitman (or woman) took out Trump. And then they would say it is his own fault.
If there is a dangerous character in the mix, it is not Trump. It is De Niro. Perhaps it is all those mobsters he played on screen have embedded in his brain and make him the pugnacious Mafia-style thug he has become in real life.
Many people on both sides talk about the need to tone down the rhetoric. Apparently, De Niro did not get the memo.
So, there ‘tis.
The idiot doesn’t know why he hates Trump. Just like Dunger
Larry, You are so far off in left field with this one, I think you should be concerned that even the windbag post will find your dementia disturbing and choose not to extend your contract past tomorrow. A) Does anybody pay attention to what DeNiro says? (obviously you do) but B) He is totally correct. Since January 20, 2025 Trump has proven himself to be a threat to not just the US, but the entire world, and while I know it won’t happen, he should have been removed yesterday or preferably the day before. And while I am not suggesting assassination (wanted to take that off the table before you accuse me of plotting murder, like you decided to do with DeNiro) he needs to be removed by any means possible before he does more damage to the world. The corruption (and overall incompetence) of this regime is beyond comparison to anything the US has experienced in the it’s nearly 250 years of experience. Put violent rioters back on the streets-check, happened day one. Asked for $1B from oil companies before election, they delivered so he delivered Venezuela. Issued $Trump, toadies from all over the world poured money into this, further feathering Trum[p’s nest. Of course, now we have a war that Trump started that will affect the world due to the issues with shipping oil, gas and fertilizer products from the middle east, a war that has already killed thousands, cost billions and it is not even two weeks into it-all done on Trump’s whim (with a healthy dose of Netanyahoo blowing smoke up Trump’s ass_) I could go on and write for days, but choose not to waste my time. Bottom line, Trump is a threat to the American way of life, he is alienating the world toward the US and should be removed immediately by any means possible, whether you think that is a good idea or not….
Mike f ….I have already written you off for your antisemitic views of the past, but when you say “by ANY means” — and Since you do not say legal of constitutional means — that can include assassination. Are you promoting that “means”? Perhaps you are has batpoop crazy as De Niro. I would not be surprised.
