Actor Robert De Niro keeps letting his Travis Bickle persona of Taxi Driver get the best of him, both in his hot-headed contempt for politicians that don't support his leftist viewpoints and his ability to ruin a good moment.

Although not as bad as taking Cybill Shepard to watch a porno on a first date, De Niro did use his acceptance speech for the Lincoln Center’s Chaplin Award to bash President Trump and his "bullsh–t." Another classy moment punctuated by leftist crass. 

During his acceptance speech on Monday, the former Raging Bull star took his shots at the President for proposing cuts to the National Endowment of the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

“We still make movies to entertain. But posterity determines whether it’s art or not. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately with our current government’s hostility towards the arts,” said De Niro. “For their own divisive political purposes the administration suggests the money from these programs go to liberal elites. This is what they call alternative facts. I’m calling it what it is, bullsh–t."

As noted by Variety, De Niro then somehow tied Trump's immigration policies to that of Hollywood icon Charlie Chaplin, saying that the movie star would not be welcome in today's America, even though Chaplin was born in Britain, not one of the terrorism-linked countries that are part of Trump's so-called "Muslim ban."

Does De Niro really intend to mean that even British citizens, our closest ally, would not be allowed to enter in the United States under Trump's policies? 

Like Travis Bickle, De Niro is delusional.
