Brown University grads really lucked out when they scored Robert De Niro for their commencement speech. Words don’t get more motivational than this:

Robert De Niro says the U.S. has turned into 'a tragic dumbass comedy' https://t.co/dqYW3lMhD2 pic.twitter.com/QRu1LYQNGO

Here’s what he said:
Well, the country’s gone crazy. In movie terms, when you started school, the country was an inspiring, uplifting drama. You’re graduating into a tragic dumbass comedy.
And trust him: He speaks from experience.
Which, oddly enough, describes his last several movie roles.

Maybe De Niro should try to be more positive. After all, he does have some common ground with Trump:
Does this make Mr. De Niro the head of this 'tragic, dumbass comedy' by claiming vaccines cause autism?

Look: There’s no law that says you have to like our president. But is it so much to ask that you keep your personal politics out of a commencement speech? If De Niro’s trying to inspire the leaders of tomorrow, he picked a really crappy way to do it.
