“What he has been saying is totally crazy, ridiculous, stuff that shouldn’t be even... he is totally nuts,” De Niro said during a QnA session at the Sarajevo Film Festival.



When the moderator asked De Niro to elaborate on Bickle’s mental illness, the first thing that seemed to have crossed the actor’s mind was the Republican candidate. “One of the things to me was just the irony at the end, he (Bickle) is back driving a cab, celebrated, which is kind of relevant in some way today too. People like Donald Trump who shouldn't be where he is so... God help us,” De Niro said.
