Rumors on social media claim that actor Robert De Niro plans to leave the U.S. if Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election. These rumors began after a Facebook post falsely quoted De Niro saying, "Not worth living here now." The post originated from a page known for sharing spoof news. It included a fictional quote attributed to De Niro, suggesting he would leave the country if Trump returned to power. The quote was marked as fictional, indicating it was not true. De Niro has publicly criticized Trump in the past, calling him a "jerk" and a "gangster." However, there is no evidence that he intends to leave the U.S. following the election.
