Real estate meets reel estate. “In movie terms,” the King of Comedy De Niro said at Brown University’s America used to be “an inspiring, uplifting drama.” But now? It’s all Cape Fear and the Killing Season. The two-time Oscar winner sadly said America has become “a tragic dumb-ass comedy.” He gave the rising class a mission: “work to stop the insanity” and try to make the world a better place. Good luck, grads! This wasn’t the first time De Niro had spoken out about the political Intern Trump and his administration.

The Mission: Trump Resign so American can laugh again. His 15 Minutes is way, way over.
