On Sunday night, Robert De Niro introduced Bruce Springsteen on the TONY AWARDS broadcast while also managing to say 'F*ck Trump!' While the statement was censored on the CBS feed on air, uncensored versions found their way online from other feeds.
Now, President Trump has responded to the controversy on Twitter.
Robert De Niro, a very Low IQ individual, has received to many shots to the head by real boxers in movies. I watched him last night and truly believe he may be "punch-drunk." I guess he doesn't...
