This US election has been pure, unadulterated controversy, but the last 24 hours have been particularly terrible in the land of Donald Trump. After a 2005 video surfaced of Trump saying it's OK to "grab [women] by the pussy," America's current political state is looking particularly dark lately, but luckily Robert De Niro is here to make it just a little bit better.

In a Vice Exclusive video as part of a campaign intended to get people to vote, De Niro was supposed to be non-partisan, but he just couldn't help himself:

"He's so blatantly stupid. He's a punk, he's a dog, he's a pig...Colin Powell said it best: He's a national disaster. He's an embarrassment to this country...He talks how he wants to punch people in the face? Well, I'd like to punch him in the face."

At least we have Robert De Niro.
