Was De Niro’s rant – in which he told us that a Trump presidency will mean elections are 'all done' and that he will 'destroy' not only NYC, but the world really as nutty as all that?
What a spectacle. As the Donald Trump defense team summed up its case in downtown Manhattan, the Biden administration sent an actor -- Robert De Niro -- outside the courthouse to play political surrogate in a street press conference. In one of De Niro’s better recent performances, the actor morphed from politicized thespian to Manhattan street crazy before our eyes. All that was missing was the sign proclaiming, 'Repent – The End Is Nigh.
But embedded in this is a subtler motive. The audience for De Niro’s ravings was not America. It wasn’t even undecided voters in the swing states. It was the 12 fact-finders ensconced a few dozen yards away, inside the courthouse. De Niro focused heavily on his status as a quintessential New Yorker. 'This is my neighborhood,' he proclaimed. 'I grew up down here…. I love this city.' But unlike Trump: 'I don’t want to destroy it.
Now, just for reference: New York City’s violent crime numbers decidedly did NOT 'peak' under Donald Trump; in fact, at the end of Joe Biden’s first year in office , New York’s citywide violent crime rate was up a full 11.3%. Bringing that closer to home for Manhattanites, the latest NYPD violent crime numbers for their borough show us up 5.6% so far this year, and for the period roughly covering the current trial, we’re up roughly 15%. De Niro is either disingenuous or oblivious.
