The Oscar-winning actor launched a profanity-laced attack on the US president while urging Americans to vote early and join a 17 October day of action.

Robert De Niro has launched a furious attack on Donald Trump, calling the US president a 'f***ing piece of sh*t' in a fiery political speech.

The actor accused Trump of trying to take away Americans' political voice and power, before urging supporters to defend what he described as their right to vote. He also called on Americans to vote early and participate in a nationwide day of action on 17 October, according to the report.

Robert De Niro Turns His Anger on Donald Trump

In the speech, De Niro also criticised congressional Republicans, the Supreme Court and several federal agencies.

At the heart of his speech was a repeated demand that the Trump administration keep what he described as its hands off Americans' votes. De Niro claimed the administration was attempting to undermine voting rights, although the supplied report does not independently establish that allegation.

'And when that coward, that f***ing piece of sh*t. Donald Trump tries to take our voice and power away. What do we tell him?' De Niro said.

His answer was blunt.

'Your f***ing hands off our vote.'

The Goodfellas actor returned repeatedly to the issue, urging supporters to reject what he described as efforts to take their votes away.

'They can't get support from the voters, so what do they do? They try to take our votes away. Are you kidding me? Hands off our votes,' he said.

What Did Robert De Niro Claim About Trump's Administration?

De Niro's criticism went beyond Trump personally, with attacks on Republicans in Congress and the Supreme Court.

He accused Republicans in Congress of failing to defend Americans' rights and criticised the Supreme Court over what he described as 'voter suppression'.

The actor then made a series of allegations involving the Justice Department. He claimed the department was threatening election officials, demanding voter rolls and seizing ballots.

De Niro also accused Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel of intimidating voters at polling places.

The supplied report does not independently establish those allegations, so they should be treated as claims made by De Niro rather than verified findings.

He continued his attack by questioning the administration's political judgement.

'The Trump administration knows that their policies are not only crazy and cruel, but they're increasingly unpopular,' De Niro said.

He then added an even harsher assessment, calling members of the administration 'very f***ing stupid'.

Robert De Niro Calls for Early Voting

Away from the insults, De Niro used the speech to deliver a direct appeal for voter participation.

'First we're going to vote, and we're going to vote early,' he said.

He encouraged supporters to speak with relatives, friends, neighbours and even 'friendly strangers' about taking part in the political process.

The actor also urged listeners to participate in the 17 October nationwide day of action, directing them towards the No Kings website for information.

His comments shifted the speech towards a direct appeal for voter participation. Beyond the profanity, De Niro repeatedly urged supporters to vote early and participate in the 17 October action.

The message was accompanied by another attack on the administration, with De Niro arguing that its policies were becoming increasingly unpopular.

De Niro's Latest Attack Leaves Little to the Imagination

De Niro ended his remarks by saying, 'I think they got the message.'

The actor's language was unmistakably aggressive, while his political message focused on voting and participation in the 17 October action.

The claims De Niro made about federal agencies remain unverified in the supplied reporting and should not be presented as facts.
