‘You KNOW He Won’t!’ De Niro Goes Off When CNN’s Chris Wallace Asks If Trump ‘Would Not Give Up Power’ If He Wins Again

CNN anchor Chris Wallace got an earful when he asked legendary actor and brutal Trump critic Robert De Niro if former President Donald Trump , will “give up power” if he wins again.

Wallace interviewed De Niro for this week’s edition of his Max series Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace on a variety of topics, including the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and the man De Niro called a litany of names in several viral rants.

In one preview clip obtained by Mediaite, Wallace asked De Niro if his concern about Trump refusing to give up power is genuine:

WALLACE: Do you really worry that if he were to win again, and I’m not saying this like it’s such a farfetched notion if he were to win again, that he would not give up power?

DE NIRO: You know he won’t! You know he won’t! He even said it! He’s never going to give it up. And anybody who deludes themselves in thinking that he is, shame on you!

WALLACE: You are both New York guys. Did you run into him in the 70s and 80s? I mean, is there something personal here?

DE NIRO: No. I never wanted anything to do with him. He’s a jerk, an idiot, who wants to meet a clown like that. You’ve got to help everybody. People are going to get overlooked. That happens, but at least you have somebody who’s sensitive to the condition of the country, the people. And I’m not saying this like this, because it’s Kamala Harris, but it is. We need someone like her to do it. She’ll make mistakes. Of course, everybody does, but we need somebody with the right intentions, this guy has does not have the right intentions, and everybody knows that. It’s insanity. Period.

WALLACE: You have compared the Trump family, to a gangster…family. Which is something coming from you.

DE NIRO: Well, yeah. Because he thinks he’s a gangster. He does everything like a gangster. I don’t think that gangsters in that world would want — think much of him, because you in any… there’s honor among thieves. There’s honor in anything. If you don’t keep your word and do the right thing with people, no matter what profession you’re in, you are going to get ostracized. And in that world, it’s a little harder.
