Fox News host Jeanine Pirro questioned Robert De Niro’s impact on New York City after he spoke out against Trump.

Pirro asked De Niro whether he had altered the skyline or constructed any towers.

For the purpose of reviving the Tribeca neighborhood following the events of September 11, De Niro,

a native Manhattanite, co-founded the festival in 2002 alongside Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff. Furthermore, he serves on the 9/11 Memorial and Museum’s board of directors.

“Robert De Niro, what have you accomplished for New York City?” Fox News host Jeanine Pirro asked Robert De Niro’s audience. Is your name emblazoned on any structures? Did you construct any skyscrapers? How about the New York skyline? Has your vision altered it in any way?

With the words “I love this city” he blasted Trump while standing outside a lower Manhattan courtroom prior to final arguments in Trump’s hush money trial. Keeping it intact is important to me. Donald Trump has stated his intention to demolish the city, the nation, and perhaps the entire planet. He intends to cause complete anarchy.

“I am a New Yorker,” De Niro said in an interview with Cigar Aficionado in 2015, expanding on his ties to the Big Apple. New York offers a lot of things that other cities don’t. From all across the nation and the globe, people flock here in search of self-discovery.

According to him, it’s a spot where people may get together, stay anonymous, or discover who they truly are. Seasons are one reason why I enjoy living in New York. Los Angeles is too big, and you have to drive everywhere. The two experiences are quite different. My hometown is New York. I enjoy spending time here.

Both his words and deeds show how much De Niro cares about New York City and how he wants to see it thrive again.
