Trump calls De Niro 'low IQ individual' after actor's 'F**k Trump' attack received standing ovation

The US President told the actor to “Wake up Punchy!”.

US PRESIDENT DONALD Trump has hit back at Robert De Niro calling him a “very low IQ individual”, after the actor cursed Trump at the Tony Awards.

De Niro received a standing ovation on Sunday when he attacked the US President.

He told the crowd: “I’m going to say one thing – fuck Trump!” before pumping his fists in the air.

He added, “It’s no longer ‘down with Trump’, it’s ‘fuck Trump’.”

Trump has taken to Twitter to express how he feels about the Oscar-winning actor, saying:

Robert De Niro, a very Low IQ individual, has received to many shots to the head by real boxers in movies. I watched him last night and truly believe he may be “punch-drunk”.

“I guess he doesn’t realise the economy is the best it’s ever been with employment being at an all time high, and many companies pouring back into our country.”

The US President ended by saying, “Wake up Punchy!”

    Well said Brian.
    I don’t believe this bubble merchant has much to offer in terms of prudent monetary management.

    You might as well be talking to the wall you clown – bitcoin has no spokespeople. Shows how little these conmen and tricksters know about their biggest threat and hopefully their successor. Go back to “regulating” the various scams beneath your umbrella and taking orders from the ECB mr murphy.

    Am I the only one who can’t get their head around the Bitcoin concept?
    To me, it seems like a very vulnerable trading medium.
    If I had a load of Bitcoins digitally stored on my PC ready to “spend”, does that mean if my hard drive crashes, I’ve effectively lost my wallet? …do you need to use Cloud Computing to prevent this happening?
    Are Bitcoins vulnerable to hacking?
    So many questions out there – very little solid information.

    You can make paper wallets containing your public & private keys. That way if your hard drive crashes then you can still retrieve your bitcoins. You could use the cloud if you wanted but that’s if you trust a third party with your money. The bitcoin network uses Sha-256 encryption which cannot be hacked now or in the foreseeable future.

    You should backup your wallet. And encrypt it too.

    One of the biggest problems with bitcoin is you need to be pretty tech savvy to use it. You need to understand encryption and backups. Also make more than one wallet and distribute your coins among them. If it’s done right it’s extremely secure but if not, your coins are toast.
