		</div><p>Hollywood star Robert De Niro has reopened his feud with Donald Trump and said the president <i>“doesn’t care”</i> how many people die from coronavirus.</p>
<p>The Oscar-winning actor, 76, is one of Mr Trump’s most vociferous critics and has now taken aim at his handling of the health crisis.</p>
<p>More than 82,000 people have died in the US, according to Johns Hopkins University, more than any other country.</p>
<p>During an appearance on Newsnight, De Niro described the situation at the White House as “<i>Shakespearean</i>,” saying “<i>you’ve got a lunatic saying things that people are trying to dance around”.</i></p>
<p>Mr Trump, who is up for re-election in November, has frequently been accused of contradicting the advice of his scientific advisers throughout the pandemic and refuses to wear a mask.</p>
<p>He was widely mocked last month for suggesting research into whether coronavirus might be treated by injecting disinfectant into the body.</p>
<p>De Niro added: “<i>It’s appalling, it’s appalling. He wants to be re-elected, he doesn’t even care how many people die.”</i></p>
<p>Challenged by Newsnight host Emily Maitlis that Mr Trump’s fanbase would disagree, The Irishman star said: “<i>No, he doesn’t care for those people. And the people who he pretends to care about are the people he has the most disdain for because he could care less about them.</i></p>
<p><i>“They might like to tell themselves or delude themselves, but he doesn’t care about them.”</i></p>
<p>De Niro is isolating at his home in New York, the state hardest hit by the pandemic.</p>
<p>He said: “<i>It’s been very strange because New York is kind of like a ghost town, it’s surreal then you see other parts of the world, other great big cities of the world, are also in the same situation.</i></p>
<p><i>“It’s interesting, it’s kind of like a science fiction movie but it’s real.”</i></p>
<p>De Niro and Mr Trump have sparred frequently during the president’s time in office.</p>
<p>After De Niro, who played boxer Jake LaMotta in Martin Scorsese’s 1980 biopic Raging Bull, yelled “f*** Trump” at the Tony Awards in 2018, the president responded on Twitter.</p>
<p>He said: “<i>Robert De Niro, a very Low IQ individual, has received too many shots to the head by real boxers in movies. I watched him last night and truly believe he may be ‘punch-drunk’.”</i></p>
