So once again our president, our nicknamer in chief, has given one of the most classic nicknames we've seen yet for Robert De Niro. His new nickname: Punchy.

Now having watched De Niro's, let's say, reactions to the president lately, I thought to myself, what would happen? And by the way, I knew nothing about Robert De Niro except what movies he's been in. Didn't know anything about his personal life. And I said to myself, what would happen if I googled his name and alcoholism? And sure enough you get all kinds of hits referring to his drug and alcohol abuse.

And I thought to myself, here's the most drugged-down, violent guy who is criticizing a guy who has never had a drink or a drug and was literally in the middle of making peace with North Korea. So it wasn't that long ago where people imagined, you know, the people who were opposed to the president imagined that they were the good people. They were the people who were well-mannered. They were the people who didn't say hateful things. They were the good people. They were the ones who loved each other. They loved peace. They loved those kinds of things.

But the president, candidate Trump at the time, he was the opposite of our niceness. He's a ball of hate and darkness and every other ism that you can think of. But what happened while no one was watching? Complete reversal. De Niro is almost like he's taken on the role of whatever was the worst thing people imagined about candidate Trump. Everything that you imagined about candidate Trump is that he would stand in front of a crowd and start swearing and insulting a world leader. Right? That's what people worried about President Trump. And De Niro did that. And he seems unstable.

When you look at De Niro, I'm not a doctor so I'm not going to diagnose his mental health, but he does have a well-documented history of drug abuse, alcoholism, bad behavior. That part seems to be objectively true. And so he's become the exact thing that the other side imagined Trump would become while Trump was becoming nicer and making peace.

Now of course President Trump had to punch back because he's a counter-puncher. And I think I laughed for half an hour after I saw "wake up Punchy." It was just the perfect way for the President of the United States to end a humorous little jab back tweet. So I don't think you can take the president's tweet too seriously. It wasn't written to be serious. It was written just to give a little poke back and to entertain his base, which it did very, very well.
