Donald Trump amusingly confuses Robert De Niro with Dustin Hoffman during angry rant

There is nothing amusing about Donald Trump. Nothing.

Next, Trump will be accusing De Niro of being part of the Trans Agender.

That’s Drag; not that 45 would know the difference or care.

[jeddak]

He will now say it was intentional.

Coincidentally, DeNiro and Hoffman were both in ‘Wag the Dog’, a movie about a presidential sex scandal. Maybe Trump is subconsciously trying to confess.

I feel like early in their careers, De Niro looked like Al Pacino, and Pacino looked like Hoffman, but De Niro didn’t look like Hoffman. I’m not sure how that works. Regarding TFG, there’s only one thing to say:

It’s more 12th dimensional chess, people.

Trump knows that Hoffman was the original choice for Travis Bickle in “Taxi Driver” but turned down the part, he’s sending a secret message to the cinephile cognoscenti out there who are stroking their beards and nodding along. “Ha. Good one. Gotcha DeNiro!”

Hoffman doesn’t seem to be a Trump fan either.

Hoffman on racism, sexism and Donald Trump

There’s more class in one of DeNiro’s arm hair follicles than in merkin von bankrupt’s entire syphilitic being.

If Trump was run over on 5th Ave, would he lose any supporters?

[Brainspore]

Well, it was a movie about a Hoffa-man…

I’m sure Dustin Hoffman also thinks Trump is a fascist weenie.

Trump’s binary thinking could never understand the relationship between drag and transgender.

Doing drag is enough to say you are transgender, but not everyone who does drag is transgender. No one but the individual in drag can say if they are or are not trans.

Trump just has two boxes, Perverts and Not-Perverts. The fact that he puts himself in the Not-Perverts box should tell you how much validity that view has.
