A day after Raging Bull actor Robert De Niro displayed his dislike of former President Donald Trump in a Biden campaign-sponsored stunt in New York City, the Biden-Harris team moved to build off the attention with a fundraising email to supporters signed by the showman.
“Trump is trying to claw his way back. Frankly, it scares the hell out of me,” De Niro penned in the email seeking donations of $25-$500.
“President Biden is our guy,” he added.
The Biden campaign yesterday appeared to slip in unleashing De Niro near the Manhattan courthouse where Trump is facing a hush money prosecution. Up until then, the Biden team has tried to keep the case at a distance as Trump has claimed the president is weaponizing courts to prevent his election.
After De Niro made an angry statement and shouted with MAGA supporters, three members of the former president’s family said the stunt was proof that Biden is using courts to undermine Trump’s election.
The fundraising email was a condensed version of the charges De Niro has been making against Trump. Here’s what he sent:
It’s Robert De Niro.
I still can’t believe Donald Trump got elected president. Four years of sucking up to tyrants, supporting racists, ending Roe v. Wade, lying about the election when he lost, and calling for insurrection to stop the peaceful transfer of power.
Thank God Joe Biden defeated him and restored decency, compassion, and honest, intelligent leadership to the presidency.
Now Trump is trying to claw his way back. Frankly, it scares the hell out of me. I have said before that Donald Trump is a monster. And just imagine how dangerous it will be if he becomes President again. It’s going to take all of us to make sure Donald Trump never returns to the White House, so I’m personally asking:
Will you please chip in $25 to the Biden-Harris reelection campaign to help ensure Donald Trump never steps foot in the White House again?

Over the years, I’ve played my share of vicious, low-life characters. I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, and the utter banality of their cruelty. Donald Trump is a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics who will do whatever he can to obtain power. As an actor, I could never play him. There’s not a shred of humanity to hang on to.
I strongly support Joe Biden. He’s a lifelong public servant with great personal integrity. I trust him completely to run the country. He puts you first. Trump cares only about himself.
The bottom line is that President Biden is our guy. He represents what this country is supposed to be about, and we need to do everything we can to reelect him in November.
If you agree, please chip in $25 to the Biden-Harris reelection campaign today.
Thank you,
Robert De Niro
