You won’t find a Donald Trump sticker in this taxi driver’s cab.

‘Stuff that shouldn’t be even.he is totally nuts’.

Robert De Niro thinks Donald Trump is nuts, like his Taxi Driver character Travis Bickle.

The two-time Academy Award-winner actor praised the press and appeared grateful that the media are “finally” starting to “push back” on Trump.

About 300 taxi drivers have put up posters in De Niro’s honour, Reuters reported.

“I think that she’s paid her dues”.

But it wasn’t the fictional Charles Palantine that De Niro compared Trump to – it was Bickle himself.

So when Robert De Niro calls Donald Trump “totally nuts” everyone should listen.

Then, the audience enjoyed Martin Scorsese’s legendary “Taxi Driver” which has been restored for its 40th anniversary in which De Niro starred.

De Niro was given the lifetime achievement award for his contribution to film on Friday night at the Sarajevo film festival, which was founded as an act of defiance towards the end of the city’s 1992-1995 siege during the Bosnian war. Back in April of 2011, the actor took some thinly-veiled subliminal shots at Trump in an interview with Brian Williams at the Tribeca Film Festival. It’s like being a vehicle salesman. “Go get the facts before you start saying things about people”.
