Robert De Niro didn’t hold back when he was asked about Donald Trump‘s guilty verdict in the Stormy Daniels hush money case Thursday. “I think justice was served,” he said on the carpet for his new movie “Ezra.” “This is just one part of the whole picture, so I want to be very careful.” Though at first he was reticent to expand on his thoughts, he then continued to open up about Trump’s conviction. “I would think it would,” he said when asked if he thought it could affect the presidential election. “This never should have gotten to this stage,” he continued, “I don’t want to be talking, but I am so upset by it.

I have to say something. This is my country. This guy wants to destroy it. Period. He’s crazy.” When asked if he ever fears for his safety, De Niro admitted he does. “You think about that.

It makes me more angry, but I have to be afraid to be intimidated. And that’s why I said, you’re not going to intimidate us. “People are fed up, they’re going to fight back.

That’s not what we’re about in this country,” De Niro said. De Niro was in New York City promoting his new movie “Ezra” just hours after a jury found the former president guilty of all 34 felony counts.
