On the ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ actor Robert De Niro says he wants to play Andrew Cuomo in a hypothetical coronavirus because of the ‘governor’s handling of the crisis.’
The actor added Cuomo is ‘doing what a president should do,’ and referred to Trump as ‘the idiot’ and said he will support the presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden for the upcoming 2020 election.
‘We, of course, could have survived this much better if the idiot had done the right thing, listened and heeded all the warnings,’ De Niro said. ‘There were many, many warnings, and we are all paying for it now. It would have been bad in some ways, but never like this.’
De Niro added that he could see a ‘President Cuomo’ in the future as his handling of the crisis has surpassed what Trump has done in office to combat the Coronavirus.
