Robert De Niro doesn't care about the Donald Trump 'haters' who 'spewed vulgarities' at him - and isn't worried that his absolute loyalty to President Joe Biden will stop him getting any more jobs at age 80.
The acclaimed movie star was heckled by Trump's loyal supporters earlier this week while he was making a speech against the former President outside of the 77-year-old's hush money criminal trial in New York City.
Now, a source has told DailyMail.com exclusively that Robert has no plans to 'stand down' and will 'continue to fight for his convictions.'
Team Biden is reacting to the guilty verdict handed down to former President Donald Trump by a New York City jury Thursday afternoon after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg filed 34 felony charges, which were upgraded from misdemeanors with spent statutes of limitations, against him in April 2023. First, the Biden campaign:
In New York today, we saw that no one is above the law.
Donald Trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain. But today's verdict does not change the fact that the American people face a simple reality.
Nothing About This Is Normal

We've crossed the Rubicon. There's no way to walk back what Soros DA Alvin Bragg, Judge Juan Merchan, and a Manhattan jury did today. It will reverberate beyond Trump's (much more likely now) second term. Leftists far and wide are celebrating Trump's conviction today with no understanding of how perilous this is for our country—for the democracy they claim to love. For the first time, a former president of the United States has been convicted of a felony. It was a setup from the start—lawfare for political purposes—and nothing about it remotely resembled a fair trial.
And half the country is ok with it.
From this day forward, every Republican
On the front page of Sunday’s New York Times, congressional correspondent Annie Karni sympathized with recent criticism of Pennsylvania’s freshman Democratic senior, John Fetterman - once mocked in Republican circles for his Senate floor fashion sense but now reviled by the left for his support of Israel and other iconoclastic positions - in “Fetterman, Flashing a Sharper Edge, Keeps Picking Fights With the Left.”
Karni led off with an anecdote to make the left’s case of Fetterman, a Democratic mental health hero turned cranky troglodyte:
Senator John Fetterman was hard to miss, lumbering down an empty hallway
Donald Trump was found guilty today of 34 counts of falsifying bookkeeping records.
There was already little doubt when this trial began on April 15, 2024, with jury selection that this collection of Manhattanites would find Donald Trump guilty. Manhattan voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020.
As the trial dragged on for weeks, keeping the 2024 GOP candidate on the sidelines, it became crystal clear that Judge Juan Merchan was the prosecution's plus-one to this party. Merchan was all-in on the prosecution's confusing, Jenga-like legal theory of the case and did all he could to hold up the rickety superstructure

Former President Donald Trump announced a press conference on Thursday shortly after a New York jury returned a verdict finding him guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records.
The press conference will take place on Friday morning at 11 a.m. in the Trump Tower atrium in New York City, he said. “PRESS CONFERENCE TOMORROW MORNING AT 11:00 A.M. TRUMP TOWER ATRIUM. MAGA2024!” the 45th president said in a post to Truth Social. (X) “VICTORY ON NOVEMBER 5TH. SAVE AMERICA!!!” Trump said in a separate post following the verdict.
There’s a lot of money and some activist passion on the Left behind prosecutors who value mercy over vengeance, but most of the energy on that side these days is behind locking up the “bad people.”
Alvin Bragg ran for district attorney on the promise of prosecuting former President Donald Trump — and won. Think about that for a moment. A Democratic politician campaigned on the promise of locking up the chief rival to the president of the United States. Then he brought an extremely thin case based on an unproven legal theory.
It’s banana republic stuff, but it’s also part of a broader trend: the prosecutorial fervor on the Left today.
One of the many factors tainting a New York jury’s conviction of former President Donald Trump is the fact that the judge who oversaw the Soviet-style show trial previously donated to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign. The judge’s daughter also represents Democrat clients who raised millions off the trial.
In an unsurprising move, the jury in deep-blue Manhattan found Trump guilty Thursday on all counts related to a payment his then-lawyer made to a pornographer as part of a nondisclosure agreement.

Reactions have come pouring in regarding the "guilty" verdict for former and potentially future President Donald Trump on all 34 counts in the hush money trial. In addition to reactions from many top House Republicans, there's also reactions from top Senate Republicans.
Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Barrasso (R-WY) was among the first to react to the news from his X account, with a statement that criticized how President Joe Biden and the Democrats are looking to go after Trump in such a manner.
"The case in New York against President Trump has never been about justice. Democrats are weaponizing the justice system against a political opponent," he reminded.
Liberal media promptly celebrated as Donald Trump became the first US President to be criminally convicted, with Rachel Maddow branding it 'definitive and irreducible'.
The MSNBC anchor spoke after Trump was found guilty on all 34 felony counts, which she described as 'everything the prosecution asked for' before she challenged the nation to accept the verdict.
'The test here for us as a country is not about what happens on appeal, and not about sentencing,' she said. 'It is about whether or not this former president and his allies will have succeeded in trying to undermine the rule of law.'
'The jury, by all accounts, took this very very seriously,'
Shortly after the announcement was made today that an NYC jury found President Trump guilty of 34 ridiculous charges, based on an unfair case heard in a courtroom led by a dirty, far-left judge and prosecuted by a Soros-funded NYC DA, President Trump’s donor campaign website crashed from an excessive amount of traffic.
In addition to everyday Americans racing to help fund President Trump’s re-election campaign, an unlikely donor also made a sizeable contribution to President Trump’s 2024 campaign following the announcement of the jury’s verdict.
Only moments after the 34 guilty charges were announced, Sequoia Capitol Partner Shaun Maguire made a $300,000 donation to Trump’s 2024 campaign.
My lovely fiancee Jessica wanted to go to the bar to sulk after the ridiculous verdict against Trump came down. It's easy to be sad. Commie animals outside the courtroom -- too stupid to see that they too can now be politically persecuted -- are cheering. Facebook dopes are taking victory laps just as they have done after every nonsensical strike Trump has taken but always recovered from. One thing I adore about communists is that they never learn from their mistakes.
It was Christmas in May for Hollywood celebrities after a jury in deep blue New York City voted to convict former President Donald Trump on all 34 counts in his business records case.
While an appeal is a certainty — “This is far from over,” Trump said following the verdict — the stars nevertheless rushed to celebrate the case, which was brought by Soros-funded Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg (D), who was present in the courtroom on Thursday.“Tears of joy,” an emotional Kathy Griffin wrote.
“God Bless New York City!!!” an ecstatic Ellen Barkin tweeted.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg reacted to the guilty verdict of former President Donald Trump’s sham “hush money” criminal trial, claiming he “did his job.” Bragg was unsurprisingly pleased with the outcome of his political persecution against Trump, saying that the jury found the former president guilty based on “evidence and the law.” His comments contradict millions of reactions that accuse the DA of politically attacking Trump in an attempt to interfere with the 2024 election.

The Biden campaign is cheering the guilty verdict of former President Donald Trump in New York today in his business records case, the merits of which have been widely questioned by legal scholars and experts.

Democrats are loudly celebrating that their longtime political nemesis Donald Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts Thursday.
The 12-person New York jury - consisting of seven men and five women - found that the former president was guilty on every single count that he was charged with.
And now Democrats and progressives are rejoicing. Progressive 'Squad' member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez opened a town hall in the Bronx Thursday evening invoking Trump's conviction to much applause.

The political temperature in America has reached a boiling point following the controversial guilty verdict in the sham trial of President Donald Trump.
President Trump has been found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection to a hush-money payment made to adult porn star Stormy Daniels.
This verdict makes Trump the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime. The jury reached their decision after a five-week trial and two days of deliberation.
Donald Trump denounced the trial as a “disgrace” and “rigged,” claiming that a “conflicted” and “corrupt” judge presided over the proceedings.
Caitlyn Jenner is leading the fury over Donald Trump's conviction on all 34 felony counts in his historic hush money trial.
Trump is the presumptive Republican presidential candidate and is set to take on Joe Biden in November's election.

Thanks to progressive Democrat control over educational institutions, media, and the administrative state, Democrats are encouraging an environment that is eerily like 1930s Nazi Germany. As in Germany, many institutions of higher education have become Marxist indoctrination centers that work together with Muslims to overthrow the West, destroy Christianity, and slaughter Jews.
Currently, Marxists and Muslims are perfectly aligned. They believe in statism and complete obedience to the state, political violence, and murderous hatred for Jews and Christians. To achieve power, they are willing (temporarily) to embrace the leftist obsession with race and homosexuality.
Republicans’ online donation website was so overwhelmed in the minutes after a Manhattan jury found Donald Trump guilty that its functionality was incapacitated.
WinRed, the Republican Party’s official online donation platform, reportedly shut down after high traffic following the verdict.

The Biden-Harris campaign released a statement on Thursday celebrating the Manhattan jury’s guilty verdict in former President Donald Trump’s hush-money trial.
The jury, which began deliberations on Wednesday after closing arguments, convicted Trump on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush-money payments received by porn actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. The charges were brought by Manhattan Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and the trial was overseen by Judge Juan Merchan, who donated to President Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign.
The verdict in former President Donald Trump’s business records trial in Manhattan was the “culmination of a legal process that has been bent to the political will of the actors involved,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a statement on Thursday following the Manhattan jury finding him guilty on all 34 counts.
“Today’s verdict represents the culmination of a legal process that has been bent to the political will of the actors involved: a leftist prosecutor, a partisan judge and a jury reflective of one of the most liberal enclaves in America—all in an effort to “get” Donald Trump,” DeSantis said in a statement.
Donald Trump becomes the first ever former President of the United States to be convicted of a crime.
A unanimous New York jury found him guilty on all 34 counts of illegally trying to cover up a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels to stifle a sex scandal that he feared would derail his 2016 presidential campaign only days before America went to the polls.
Paying the hush money was not in itself illegal but the prosecution successfully argued that it was designed to influence the outcome of the election — a violation of election laws and, argued the prosecutors, the underlying crime.
Travesty

The kangaroos are dancing. The Lincoln Project is celebrating. Joe Biden just put out a fundraising ad saying "let's finish the job." President Trump was convicted on all 34 counts of .. something, a bookkeeping issue turned into a felony, with whatever the underlying crimes the jury picked (Trump wasn't told) for a conviction, quite contrary to the Supreme Court's 1999 Richardson ruling, that the jury must be unanimous as to the underlying crime. Justice Juan Merchan said otherwise and that was what the jury was told.
So now the left is happy, dancing, Joe Biden trying to make money off it, and Merchan, who presided over this kangaroo court

NEW YORK—Former President Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, as a jury of 12 unanimously returned their verdict on May 30 after less than two days of deliberation. With this result, President Trump becomes the first ever American president to be convicted of a crime.
As the verdicts were read, President Trump sat still, appearing stoic, and looked straight ahead.
President Trump’s attorney has previously vowed to appeal a conviction expeditiously.
Former president Donald Trump was convicted on Thursday by a New York jury on 34 felony charges for falsifying business records, making him the first president in U.S. history to become a convicted felon.
Over the past six weeks at the state courthouse in lower Manhattan, the prosecution sought to demonstrate that Trump, his former fixer and attorney Michael Cohen, and National Enquirer publisher David P* participated in a conspiracy to defraud voters ahead of the 2016 presidential election by paying off women to conceal embarrassing stories about the then-presidential candidate’s sexual history without properly recording those payments as campaign-finance expenses.
President Joe Biden has given permission to Ukraine to strike inside Russian territory with American munitions, though he has restricted their use so Kyiv can only hit targets over the border close to Kharkiv after Russia made significant advances around the city in the northeastern part of the country close to the Russian border, two US officials told CNN.
“The president recently directed his team to ensure that Ukraine is able to use US supplied-weapons for counterfire purposes in Kharkiv so Ukraine can hit back at Russian forces hitting them or preparing to hit them,” one of the officials said.
A jury has reached a verdict Thursday in the criminal hush money trial of former President Donald Trump in New York.
The 12-member jury sent out a note to the trial judge at 4:20 p.m. ET. “We the jury have a verdict. We would like an extra 30 minutes to fill out the forms if that’d be possible,” the note said, according to Judge Juan Merchan, who read it out loud in the courtroom.
Jurors deliberated less than 10 hours over two days before sending out the note. Before the announcement, Trump, his lawyers, prosecutors and reporters expected the jury to be dismissed for the day at 4:30 p.m.

Washington — The U.S. economy grew at a sluggish 1.3% annual pace from January through March, the weakest quarterly rate since the spring of 2022, the government said Thursday in a downgrade from its previous estimate. Consumer spending rose but at a slower pace than previously thought. The Commerce Department had previously estimated that the nation’s gross domestic product — the total output of goods and services — expanded at a 1.6% rate last quarter.
The first quarter’s GDP growth marked a sharp slowdown from the vigorous 3.4% rate in the final three months of 2023.

Various reports came out regarding what Merchan said in his instructions.

After letters to my senators and an American Thinker article, Why is the FDA Contaminating America’s Blood Supply? it is the United Kingdom that finally comes clean:
Britain’s ‘day of shame’ as full scale of infected blood scandal revealed
‘The result of this inquiry should shake our nation to its core. This should have been avoided. It was known these treatments were contaminated; warnings were ignored repeatedly.
‘Time and again people in positions of power and trust had the chance to stop the transmission of those infections. Time and again they failed to do so.’
Patients “died or suffered miserably” as a result of being given contaminated blood products
Robert De Niro doesn’t suffer from ‘Trump

Most thought that Robert De Niro’s “performance” in the title role as Dirty Grandpa, where he played a lecherous, unhygienic, and maniacal grandfather, was his worst.
But De Niro managed the seemingly impossible by stooping deeper into the bowels of self-humiliation that made Dirty Grandpa seem like Citizen Kane. This is when he had myriad unhinged foulmouthed public outbursts and made violent threats at various events.
His target was democratically-elected President Donald Trump. De Niro’s utterances once again proved that profanity is the last resort of the vacuous. As expected, the madness was cheered in the liberal echo chambers of Hollywood and D.C.
One of Joe Biden’s handlers was obviously
A string of security, logistical and weather problems has battered the plan to deliver desperately needed humanitarian aid to Gaza through a U.S. military-built pier.
Broken apart by strong winds and heavy seas just over a week after it became operational, the project faces criticism that it hasn’t lived up to its initial billing or its $320 million price tag.
U.S. officials say, however, that the steel causeway connected to the beach in Gaza and the floating pier are being repaired and reassembled at a port in southern Israel, then will be reinstalled and working again next week.
A Florida grand jury released its second interim report last week on its investigation into potential “wrongdoing” by Covid shot manufacturers and entities who promoted them.
Requested by Gov. Ron DeSantis and authorized by the Florida Supreme Court in December 2022, the grand jury was tasked with determining whether “pharmaceutical manufacturers (and their executive officers) and other medical associations or organizations” participated in “criminal activity or wrongdoing” concerning “their involvement in the development, approval or marketing of COVID-19 vaccines.” The jury released its first interim report in February, in which members confirmed the accuracy of many claims health “experts” and media apparatchiks dismissed as “misinformation.”

Businessman Bernie Moreno, running for Senate as a Republican against incumbent Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, released a blistering ad on Wednesday hammering the longtime Democrat on his ties to President Biden's agenda and alleged weakness on immigration. "Biden's politics now are not much different than mine," a video of Brown from a 2021 interview, said in his own words at the start of the video, before claiming that "Sherrod Brown shares Biden's open border agenda."
The ad goes on to say that Brown "refused to fund efforts to detain and deport criminal illegal immigrants convicted of a crime" citing a 2021 roll call vote on Senate Amendment 3742.
There were seemingly only a few dozen people who attended the speech; but wow was the Joe Biden event divisive. Also, watch how many times Joe Biden is going back to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Philly, then South Carolina, then back to Philly, then South Carolina, that’s the pattern. BLM then AME, then back to BLM, then back to AME. This is the 7th time Biden has gone to an organized event in Philly (it’s not about campaigning). The Biden campaign organized what the media are calling a “black outreach” event; however, the remarks and speech was one of the most divisive,
The flow of migrants across the U.S.–Mexico border is showing little signs of stopping. It’s a top issue among voters, but what is the root cause, and how do we solve it? A new investigative documentary by The Epoch Times approaches this issue from a new angle—looking beyond the headlines, politics, and what we see on the surface. The documentary, called “Weapons of Mass Migration,” uncovers how the United Nations and the United States work hand-in-hand to facilitate mass migration. The director and host of the documentary, Joshua Philipp, joins NTD to discuss. He is also a senior investigative reporter with The Epoch Times.
China has spent years trying to strengthen its defences in a stretch of sea many experts have long dubbed the People's Republic "Achille's heel."
The Malacca Strait, which links the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean, is a pivotal passage for Chinese naval operations as well as its energy imports.
The 500-mile strait sits between the Indonesian island of Sumatra, Singapore and the Malay peninsula, and is only 1.7 miles wide at its narrowest point. [SNIP] But the crucial trade route could ultimately prove to be a huge setback for Beijing in the event of a regional crisis.
Conservative radio host and litigator Mark Levin said Wednesday that former President Donald Trump should immediately appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court if convicted by a Manhattan jury, due to serious constitutional issues. The jury began its deliberations Wednesday after Judge Juan Merchan issued his instructions — and, controversially, told the jurors that while they needed to be unanimous on guilt or innocence, they did not need to agree on what underlying federal crime must have been committed in order for a state felony charge of falsification of business records to be brought.
Hamas has been stealing for its own members at least half of the aid sent to Gaza since October 7. This is not surprising. Hamas has been stealing aid money meant for the people of Gaza ever since it took control of the Strip in 2007. Just three Hamas leaders, Khaled Meshaal, Mousa abu Marzouk, and Ismail Haniyeh, have among themselves managed to steal the colossal sum of $11 billion in aid. And while Hamas has been complaining about Israel preventing aid from reaching the Strip, it is actually Hamas that has been harming Gazans, by diverting half of the billion dollars sent by donors to Gaza since October 7.
Security services around Europe are on alert to a potential new weapon of Russia’s war – arson and sabotage – after a spate of mystery fires and attacks on infrastructure in the Baltics, Germany and the UK.
When a fire broke out in Ikea in Vilnius in Lithuania this month, few passed any remarks until the Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk, suggested it could have been the work of a foreign saboteur.
Investigators have already alleged potential Russian involvement in an arson attack in east London, an inferno that destroyed the largest shopping mall in Poland, a sabotage attempt in Bavaria in Germany and antisemitic graffiti in Paris.
When I first came to Washington to work for the Heritage Foundation, there were a few think tanks that made the nerd in me stand a little bit in awe. First, of course, was Heritage, but the second was the Cato Institute.
Heritage was conservative and Cato libertarian, but both seem roughly on the same side. They differed as to how far things should go, but they were both always in opposition to the left. Conservatives wanted constitutionally limited government; libertarians wanted as close to no government as possible.
