Robert De Niro: We are ‘beyond trying to see another person’s point of view’

Robert De Niro said in a new interview that he thinks the U.S. is past attempts to “see another person’s point of view.”
De Niro made the comments while discussing the reboot of “Roseanne”, in which the main character supports President Trump.
“I’ve never seen her show before, I didn’t know she was supporting Trump, but I have no interest in that,” told IndieWire.

De Niro also pointed to recent departures from Trump’s Cabinet. Several members in recent weeks have left the administration, including former secretary of State Rex Tillerson and national security adviser H.R. McMaster.
“It’s a serious thing. So I don’t care about Roseanne,” De Niro said. “They want that thing, fine. We have real issues in this country.”
The reboot of “Roseanne,” which originally aired from 1988 to 1997, reportedly debuted to massive ratings last week, totaling 25 million viewers.
Roseanne Barr has expressed support for Trump in real life, saying the country is “lucky” to have him as president.
De Niro has in the past been critical of Trump. Last month, he called Trump an “idiot” despite his Ivy League education.
