(DC Pundit) – Hollywood actor Robert De Niro is once again predicting doom and dictatorship, this time insisting that President Donald Trump will refuse to leave office when his term concludes in 2028. It’s a familiar script from the veteran performer—heavy on drama, light on evidence.
The ‘Little Fockers’ star is scheduled to appear on a podcast hosted by Nicolle Wallace and sponsored by the left-leaning network MSNBC. In a preview clip, De Niro doubles down on his long-running claim that Trump intends to cling to power.
“He will never leave,” De Niro blathers. “We have to make him leave. He jokes now about nationalizing the elections. He’s not joking. We’ve seen enough already.”

He continued, “Let’s not kid ourselves. He will not leave. It’s up to us to get rid of him.”

Trump departed the White House in January 2021 following his “loss” to Joe Biden. There is no evidence that he intends to ignore constitutional term limits in 2028.
De Niro also suggested that Trump is threatening polling locations. “We have to make sure that like what he’s trying now, that all the polling places have people that can come there safely,” he exclaimed. “That might mean citizens on the other side.”
Wallace attempted to clarify that any such effort should be “peaceful,” but De Niro did not directly engage with that framing. Instead, he reiterated, “It’s up to the people.”
This isn’t new rhetoric from the Oscar-winning actor. In May of 2024, he declared, “Elections? Forget about it. That’s over. That’s done. If he gets in, I can tell you right now. He will never leave. He will never leave. You know that. He will never leave.” In October of 2025, he repeated the theme: “We can’t let up. Cannot let up on him because he is not going to leave the White House. He does not want to leave the White House. He will not leave the White House. Anybody thinks he, oh, he’ll do this, he’ll do that, it’s just deluding themselves.”
The real question is why some in Hollywood continue to promote apocalyptic scenarios without proof. TDS?
De Niro’s remarks might generate a few flashy podcast soundbites, but dramatic flair doesn’t magically transform speculation into fact.
