   As Robert De Niro continues to publicly criticize President   
   Trump, he is becoming more "insane" than the iconic character he   
   played in the film "Taxi Driver," conservative commentator Mark   
   Steyn said.   
      
   De Niro was honoring fellow actor Al Pacino at the American Icon   
   Awards on Sunday when he turned his attention to the president.   
      
   "The individual who currently purports to lead America is not   
   worthy of any tribute," De Niro said in a clip aired Monday on   
   "Tucker Carlson Tonight." "Unless, you think of this impeachment   
   and imprisonment as a sort of tribute - and that's how you can   
   make America great again."   
      
   "Robert De Niro lives better than 99.99 percent of people in the   
   entirety of human history have ever lived, and he cannot accept   
   that a close election in a 50-50 country didn't go his way,"   
   Steyn said on the program.   
      
   Steyn said De Niro's public criticisms of Trump are becoming   
   "ridiculous."   
      
   Host Tucker Carlson played several clips of De Niro, including   
   one in which he explained why he previously said he wanted to   
   "punch [Trump] in the face".

   "This is beyond derangement. He has actually become more insane   
   than Travis Bickle in 'Taxi Driver'," Steyn said.   
      
   Bickle, De Niro's character in the 1976 Martin Scorsese film, is   
   a lonely and depressed Marine veteran from the Vietnam era, who   
   picks up a job as a cabbie in New York City.   
      
   Steyn suggested that instead of an American Icon Award, there   
   should be a "Best Cranky, Embittered Grandpa 40 Years Past His   
   Acting Best" award.   
      
   "[De Niro] would be a shoo-in for that," Steyn said.
