Robert De Niro, the venerable actor known for his iconic roles in “Taxi Driver” and “Goodfellas,” has announced he will pack up and leave the United States permanently if Donald J. Trump becomes the 45th president of the United States. De Niro, who’s never been shy about sharing his disdain for Trump, seems ready to exit stage left, but what do you think? Is this just another act in endless political theater, or is Bobby really serious this time?

Let’s admit it folks, De Niro’s threat is no more shocking than a typical tweetstorm by Trump. The actor has been critical of the former President vocally and his contemptuousness towards Trump has been like a sledgehammer on your head. However, could this last pledge just be another act in celebrity versus political everlasting drama?

Master of chaos, Donald Trump certainly knows how to bring out either side of people – best or worst. His presidency was an unending soap opera with its twists and turns, scandals as well as enough tears to fill up a Kardashian family reunion. And you know, guys, when it comes to fighting back, De Niro would not hesitate to take shots at him.

Recently, De Niro spoke clearly, “I’m outta here! if that guy gets back in.” He’s not just whistling Dixie – he means it for real. The Raging Bull star has had enough of the drama, the tweets, and the, ahem, “alternative facts”.

And come on, we know what you’re thinking; “Bob, where will you go?” Well, rumor has it that he’s got his sights set on Italy – the land of pasta, pizza, and a certain je ne sais quoi that’s been missing from American politics lately.
