"He's not the brightest bulb in the planet," Trump said on “Fox & Friends” Monday morning. "I like his acting, but in terms of when I watch him doing interviews and various other things, we're not dealing with Albert Einstein."

"It’s like a big hustle. It’s like being a car salesman," said De Niro, who campaigned for Obama in 2008. "Don’t go out there and say things unless you can back them up. How dare you? That’s awful to do. To just go out and speak and say these terrible things? Unless you just want to get over and get the job. It’s crazy.”
Responding Monday, Trump insisted: "[De Niro] can say what he wants, but the fact is that this guy has not revealed his birth certificate. A lot of people agree with me."
