		</div><p>Robert De Niro has said that if the US was a movie it would now be a “tragic, dumb-ass comedy”.</p>
<p>The two-time Oscar-winning actor and vocal Donald Trump critic said his nation had descended to this point having been an “inspiring, uplifting drama” just four years ago.</p>
<p>De Niro, 73, was welcomed with applause and laughter as he made the remarks in a speech to graduating students at Brown University in the New England state of Rhode Island.</p>
<p><i>“The country has gone crazy. In movie terms, when you started school the country was an inspiring, uplifting drama,”</i> he said on Sunday.</p>
<p><i>“You are graduating intro a tragic, dumb-ass comedy.”</i></p>

<p>He also urged the students to make a better world and to “work to stop the insanity” as he was handed an honorary fine arts degree.</p>
<p>De Niro has been a persistent critic of the US president and even said he wanted to punch the Republican in the face during his election campaign.</p>
<p>The actor also said earlier this month that Mr Trump was hampering the arts and that his immigration policy might keep out the next Charlie Chaplin.</p>
<p>The British star was “an immigrant who probably wouldn’t pass today’s ‘extreme vetting’,” he said.</p>
