Wow, De Niro really poured his emotions into that statement...
Its refreshing at the same time, how he went beyond bashing Trump politics and questions the man's entire moral compass 🤔
What a bold move. Doesn't leave much room for a casual debate either?

I think this is one of our biggest flaws, is the lack of ability /willingness to consider different ideas, or ideas that we do not like
We ALL do this, somewhat, although to different extents 🤔
Even those who are aware do this, how can we do better?

No, you can't just 'cancel' all controversial content from the world...
And, this person's act was clearly meant to provoke...🧐
