Robert De Niro has dismissed criticism from Jon Voight over a video in which De Niro said he would like to punch Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in the face. In a video released on Saturday, De Niro called Trump “blatantly stupid … he’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a pig, he’s a con, a bullshit artist. Voight also defended Trump over a tape released last week in which Trump boasted about groping women. De Niro responded to Voight’s comments, saying: “Voight is a nice guy, but he’s delusional,” according to UAE newspaper the Khaleej Times, before continuing to attack Trump. “It’s awful, they will self-destruct.”De Niro urged Americans to vote on 8 November in order to prevent Trump from winning.
