Robert De Niro: US now a tragic comedy
- 7 years ago
Oscar winner Robert De Niro spoke at Brown University this weekend, delivering the commencement speech and didn't mince words. When you started school, the country was an inspiring, uplifting drama. You are graduating into a tragic, dumbass comedy. My advice is to lock the [university’s] Van Wickle Gates and stay here. But if you do leave, work for the change. Work to stop the insanity. Start now so the class of 2018 will graduate into a better world. De Niro has been vocal about President Trump and his policies in the past, most notably saying he would like to "punch him in the face" prior to Trump winning the election.
