"Robert, whose movies, artistry, and brand have gone WAY DOWN IN VALUE since he entered the political arena at the request of Crooked Joe Biden, looked so pathetic and sad out there," Trump said. "Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio!!!"
Conservatives compared the press conference, which was disrupted by hecklers and a car alarm, to an episode of the satirical HBO show, "Veep."
"Donald Trump wants to destroy not only the city, but the country. And eventually he could destroy the world," De Niro fumed, reading prepared remarks on Tuesday.
"I owe this city a lot. And that's why it's so weird that Donald Trump is just across the street because he doesn't belong in my city. I don't know where he belongs, but he certainly doesn't belong here. We New Yorkers used to tolerate him when he was just another grubby real estate hustler masquerading as a big shot," De Niro added.

The Trump campaign held a separate press conference Tuesday, following the Biden campaign's presser with De Niro.
Trump campaign senior adviser Steven Cheung called the Biden camp's press conference "election interference of the highest order."
"Crooked Joe Biden and his campaign are in complete freakout mode," he added.
