Robert De Niro on Trump victory: 'I feel like I did when 9/11 happened'

November 12, 2016 20:15

De Niro has had a lot to say during and in the aftermath of the US elections. First describing how he would like to punch Mr Trump in the face and then declaring he would no longer like to do so, the Raging Bull actor's palpable confusion embodies the disbelief felt across America.

He said he felt as disturbed as he did learning the Twin Towers in New York had been attacked by terrorists. His struggle to comprehend the surreal situation America finds itself was clear.

"I feel like I did when the World Trade Centre was attacked. I'm waiting to see. I'm stunned. We're gonna see. I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. We'll see what happens.

"This was about world order, doing things, trying to work our way through a lot of problems internationally and domestically and you need a grown up for that. We'll see. We're all waiting, we're watching."
