Trump has taken to Twitter to express how he feels about the Oscar-winning actor, saying:
Robert De Niro, a very Low IQ individual, has received to many shots to the head by real boxers in movies. I watched him last night and truly believe he may be “punch-drunk”.
“I guess he doesn’t realise the economy is the best it’s ever been with employment being at an all time high, and many companies pouring back into our country.”
The US President ended by saying, “Wake up Punchy!”
