Trump Rips ‘Punch-Drunk’ Robert De Niro: Has Taken ‘To Many Shots to the Head’

President Trump has been busy the past few days with the G-7 and a historic North Korea summit, but, you know, Robert De Niro said something nasty about him, so of course he was going to respond.

De Niro, of course, said “fuck Trump” at the Tonys this Sunday, and the President responded this afternoon:

Robert De Niro, a very Low IQ individual, has received to many shots to the head by real boxers in movies. I watched him last night and truly believe he may be “punch-drunk.” I guess he doesn’t…

…realize the economy is the best it’s ever been with employment being at an all time high, and many companies pouring back into our country. Wake up Punchy!

Robert De Niro, a very Low IQ individual, has received to many shots to the head by real boxers in movies. I watched him last night and truly believe he may be “punch-drunk.” I guess he doesn’t realize the economy is the best it’s ever been with employment being at an all time high, and many companies pouring back into our country. Wake up Punchy!

Oh, yeah, and he went ahead and nicknamed Robert De Niro “Punchy.”

(Also, yes, he misspelled “too.”)

De Niro has also made recent TV appearances on Saturday Night Live as none other than Robert Mueller, the special counsel overseeing the Russia probe the President has repeatedly decried as a “witch hunt.” (But at least Mueller doesn’t have a mocking nickname. Yet.)
