Robert De Niro labeled President Donald Trump an “idiot” and “dangerous,” while suggesting the president “will ruin this country” in a new interview.

“I think all this stuff with Trump and all his shenanigans and nonsense is what is setting the tone for what is going on. We all know it,” the 76-year-old actor shared with Britain’s GQ magazine in an interview, per Fox News in a published Wednesday.

“It’s beyond a disgrace,” he added. “He’s [Trump’s] a low-life. He’s going to ruin this country. He’s beyond a horrible person. I went on television the day after he was elected and I said, ‘I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.’ But he’s worse than we ever thought he would be.” (RELATED: Robert De Niro Said ‘F**k Trump’ At The Tony Awards, And The Audience Went Wild)

De Niro continued, “He’s an idiot. He’s a fool. He’s a buffoon. He’s silly. He’s tacky. He’s dangerous. That stupid show ‘The Apprentice,’ people bought it. They buy into it… They created a monster.”(RELATED: Robert De Niro Slams Trump During Award Ceremony For High School Students [VIDEO]

Earlier this month, the “Joker” star continued his attacks on Trump calling him a “gangster” and said he “can’t wait to see [Trump] in jail.” (RELATED: Watch This Guy Destroy A Portrait Of Robert De Niro After His Anti Trump Rant)

Last month, the “Taxi Driver” actor went on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” with Brian Stelter and dropped F-bombs about the president and the backlash he’s received from Fox News over speaking out against Trump.

“This guy [Trump] should not be president period,” the actor explained. “Fuck em. Fuck em, before apologizing for using such language.

De Niro has been very outspoken against the president, even drawing cheers and boos after mentioning impeaching Trump during an event to honor Al Pacino earlier this year, per TMZ.

“The producers of the American Icon Awards call it a tribute to individuals who lead America. Not so fast,” the “Raging Bull” star shared. “Maybe they should, but they do fill their own essential roles.” (RELATED: ‘Die Hard’ Actor Rips Into De Niro: ‘It Was Disgusting What You Did’)

“On the other hand, the individual who currently purports to lead America is not worthy of any tribute. Unless you think of his impeachment and imprisonment as a sort of tribute,” he added to boos and cheers from the group. “And that’s how you can ‘Make America Great Again.'”

A year ago, De Niro appeared on CNN and called Trump a “nightmare” and a “national disaster” then claimed that the president’s retorts were “inane,” “kind of stupid” and not “even witty.”

Then there was the time last summer during an award ceremony for high school students that De Niro used his time as a speaker to slam Trump as being “afflicted with a narcissistic personality disorder” and a “congenital liar,” while calling out the  “cowardly Republican enablers in Congress.”

A week later, the actor took the stage at the Tony Awards and told the crowd, “I’m going to say one thing — f**k Trump! It’s no longer ‘down with Trump,’ it’s f**k Trump.”

Many in the audience stood and applauded. The comment aired in Australia, but was censored in the US.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
