Hollywood legend Robert De Niro lambasted President Donald Trump as an “alien” who has “no empathy” and wants to destroy the country he runs during a scathing rant on MSNBC’s The Weekend on Sunday morning.

The Raging Bull star also gave kudos to California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and a number of other top Democrats, before letting an F-bomb fly on live TV as he praised New York City Attorney General Letitia James. 

“Hakeem Jeffries, I like. Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, they’re all great, strong. I like what Letitia James is doing. She’s fighting back. She’s saying, f*ck you!” De Niro said.

The expletive sounded like it rattled co-hosts Eugene Daniels and Jonathan Capehart off-camera, with one of them letting out an “Oop!”

“I’m sorry, this is where we’re at,” De Niro continued, while holding his hand to his chest. “It’s what she’s saying, ‘This is it. I will not be taken down by this person. I am not afraid of him.’ And God bless her for that.”

He added ICE agents — or “those ICE guys,” as De Niro put it — “better not mess” with James.

His support for James comes a few weeks after she was indicted on criminal charges related to mortgage fraud. James previously led a civil fraud trial against Trump; he was ordered to pay more than $350 million in 2024, but the massive financial penalty was tossed by a New York appeals court in August.

De Niro made a number of other incendiary remarks during his appearance on MSNBC.

He branded the president’s senior advisor Stephen Miller a “Nazi” and compared him to Adolf Hitler’s chief propagandist, Joseph Goebbels, despite Miller being Jewish.

The longtime lefty and Casino star also urged Americans to “strap on their balls” and continue protesting, like they did on Saturday at the nationwide “No Kings” rallies. Americans have to keep “fighting” back against Trump, he said, because he predicted Trump will not leave the White House in 2028 — even though he exited after his first term.

“We can’t let up. Because he’s not gonna leave the White House. He does not want to leave the White House, he will not leave the White House,” De Niro said. “Anybody who thinks ‘Oh, he’ll do this, he’ll do that,’ is just deluding themselves — The Republicans most of all. Because they know, but they’re going along with it. Classic bully situation.”
