2018 Tony Awards winners take the stage to accept their gongs

Robert DeNiro got right to the point when he took the stage in New York to present a Tony Award on Sunday night, but the television audience didn't get to hear it.
'I have one thing to say and that's F*** Trump,'  DeNiro boomed into the microphone.
The audience went wild,  some rising to their feet. DeNiro pumped his fists triumphantly.

DeNiro should go back to driving a taxi.

Dear so called Hollywood activist celebrities, actors, comics, musicians and late show hosts …..

It’s time to wake up now. Get this! The only reason you exist is for my entertainment. Some of you are beautiful. Some of you can deliver a line or sing a song with such conviction that you bring tears to my eyes. Some of you are so convincing that you scare the crap out of me. And others are so funny you can make me laugh uncontrollably.

But you all have one thing in common. You only exist and have a place in my world to entertain me. That’s it. Nothing else! You make your living pretending to be someone else. You play dress-up like a 5-year-old. Your world is a make believe world. It is not real. It doesn't exist. You live for the camera while the rest of us live in the real world. Your entire existence depends on my patronage. I crank the organ grinder, and you dance. Therefore, I don’t care where you stand on issues.

Honestly, your opinion means nothing to me. Just because you had a lead role in a movie about prostitution doesn't mean you know what it’s like to be a prostitute. Your view matters far less to me than that of someone living in Timbuktu .
Believe me or not, the hard truth is that you aren’t real. When I turn off my TV or shut down my computer you cease to exist. Once I am done with you, I go back to the real world until I want you to entertain me again. I don’t care that you think Donald Trump should be impeached. I don’t even care what you think about the environment.

I don’t care if you believe making peace with North Korea is bad. I don’t care if you call for more gun control. I don’t care if you believe in catastrophic human-induced global warming. And I could care less that you supported Hillary for President or even that you kept your filthy mouths shut about Harvey Weinstein. Get back into your bubble. I’ll let you know when I’m in the mood for something pretty or scary or funny.

And one other thing, what was with all the “I’ll leave the country if Donald Trump wins”? Don’t you know how stupid that made you sound? What did you think my reaction was going to be? I better not vote for Trump or we’ll lose Whoopi Goldberg? Cher? Amy Schumer or even the cock sucker Robert De Niro?
Leave.
I don’t care!
And don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

Make me laugh. Make me cry. Even scare me. But realize this, the only words of yours that matter are scripted — just like your pathetic little lives. I may agree with some of you from time to time, but in the final analysis, it doesn’t matter. In my world, you exist solely for my entertainment.

So, shut your fucking mouths and dance monkeys, DANCE!
