The actor Robert De Niro said that the U.S President Trump has blood on his hands in light of mass shootings in the United States. The actor addresses the fact in an interview with British GQ that the suspect arrested for killing 22 people in a shooting in El Paso, Texas, in August reflected Trump’s anti-immigration stance. A message believed by U.S police officials to have been written by the gunman states a specific intention to target immigrants and prevent a Hispanic invasion of Texas.

He was also asked whether or not the U.S president Trump has blood on his hands, De Niro replied, “Yeah. I think he does. And everyone is realizing that now, more and more. It’s so preposterous that the NRA has a grip on the Republicans. It’s all about money. They’re beyond shame”. The 76-year-old actor De Niro went on to link the increase of mass shootings to the U.S President.

De Niro also said, “Those gunmen are crazy people, but they’re inspired by Trump and what he’s allowed. It’s all subtle but it’s all there. He’s allowed it. He starts it. He encourages it”. De Niro has become famed for his eviscerating takedowns of Trump, formerly calling him a Low Life and a Gangster. He was speaking to variety in a recent interview, the Taxi Driver star also said, “I hope he gets impeached, it has to be followed through. He’s such a low life. He taints everybody around him”.
