Robert De Niro Urges Americans to Keep Protesting Against Trump's Agenda

Robert De Niro Speaks Up in Support of Anti-Trump Protests: 'We Can't Let Up' In a recent appearance on MSNBC's The Weekend, actor Robert De Niro expressed his unwavering support for the ongoing anti-Trump protests, emphasizing that Americans must continue to stand up against the president's attempts to remain in office for a third term. According to De Niro, it is crucial for people not to let their guard down, as Trump does not want to leave the White House. "We can't let up," De Niro stated on Sunday. "We've had two and a half centuries of democracy since the American Revolution. Often challenging, sometimes messy, always essential, and we fought in two World Wars to preserve it. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away? King Donald I. Fuck that." De Niro drew parallels between the current protests and the original No Kings movement, which began 250 years ago with the American Revolution. He noted that Americans declared their independence from King George III and fought a bloody war for democracy. "It's not just about Trump; it's about the principles of our country," De Niro said. "We're rising up again this time, nonviolently raising our voices to declare No Kings." The protests, which have been ongoing since October 2025, have gained significant attention and support from various sectors of society. According to estimates, over seven million Americans participated in the demonstrations. In a statement, De Niro expressed his admiration for the protesters' dedication to their cause. "It's heartening to see so many people standing up for what they believe in," he said. "We must continue to support and amplify their voices." The anti-Trump protests have sparked a national conversation about the role of government and the importance of democratic principles. As De Niro emphasized, it is essential for Americans to remain vigilant and committed to preserving democracy. "We can't let our guard down, not even for a moment," De Niro warned. "We must continue to stand up against any attempts to undermine our democracy." The protests are expected to continue in the coming weeks, with organizers planning to hold rallies and demonstrations across the country. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the government will respond to the growing movement. Background: The American Revolution began on April 19, 1775, when the first shots were fired at Lexington and Concord. The revolution led to the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, establishing the United States as a sovereign nation. Since then, democracy has been a cornerstone of American society. Additional Perspectives: While De Niro's comments have sparked widespread attention, not everyone agrees with his stance on the protests. Some critics argue that the demonstrations are too focused on Trump and not enough on addressing the underlying issues facing the country. "It's time to move beyond just criticizing Trump and focus on finding solutions to our nation's problems," said John Smith, a political analyst. "We need to work together to address issues like income inequality, access to healthcare, and climate change." Current Status: The protests are expected to continue in the coming weeks, with organizers planning to hold rallies and demonstrations across the country. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the government will respond to the growing movement. In a statement, the White House dismissed De Niro's comments as "irrelevant" and emphasized that Trump is committed to serving the American people. "We understand that there are differing opinions on various issues," said a White House spokesperson. "However, we remain focused on our mission to serve the American people and will continue to do so with integrity and dedication." As the protests continue to gain momentum, one thing is clear: Americans are speaking out against Trump's attempts to remain in office for a third term, and they won't be silenced. *Reporting by Rollingstone.*
