NEW YORK — Can you imagine a world without President Donald Trump?
Robert De Niro, the Oscar winner and Tribeca Film Festival co-founder, would sure like to, denouncing the current commander in chief during Saturday’s closing night premiere of The Beatles-inspired movie « Yesterday » at the fest.
In the film, “the world wakes up and has never heard of the Beatles, » De Niro said before the screening began. « It made me sad but it gave me an idea for another film, one in which the world wakes up and has never heard of Trump. That would be a film that would make us all really happy. »
The comment earned enthusiastic applause from the audience, which continued throughout « Yesterday, » whose trailer became a minor viral sensation when it premiered in February with more than 30 million combined views to date on YouTube.
