Robert De Niro says someone should throw a 'bag of s***' in Trump's face

Robert De Niro has launched probably his most outrageous tirade against Trump yet, this time saying that he would like to see a "bag of s***" thrown in the president's face.

The Oscar-winner, who stars in mob drama The Irishman, appeared on a podcast alongside documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, when he expressed the belief that the world need to see him "humiliated".

Days after saying he'd "disown" Trump's children if they were his own, De Niro urged the Democrats to select a candidate who could "confront him and put him in his place".

He said: "I'd like to see a bag of s*** right in his face.

"Hit him right in the face like that and let the picture go all over the world. That would be the most humiliating thing.

De Niro added: "The people have to see him humiliated."

The actor recently called Trump a "gangster" and said he believes he's worse than any of the characters he's ever played in films, including The Godfather Part II, Taxi Driver and Casino.

Ahead of the release of The IrishmanDe Niro told The Independent that, should Trump win the next election, he believes he could "allow [America] to get into a war" to ensure a third term.

The Irishman is available to stream on Netflix now.
