White House responds to ‘elitist' Robert DeNiro banning Trump from his restaurants
2018-05-27
[BizPacReview] White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley had a disappointing response for unhinged liberal actor Robert De Niro, who said recently President Donald Trump is banned from the Nobu restaurant chain he co-owns.

Appearing Friday on the Fox Business Network, Gidley informed the virulent anti-Trump thespian not to hold is breath waiting on the president to appear at one of his restaurants ‐ De Niro and chef Nobu Matsuhisa own 39 Nobu restaurant and hotels.



"I don’t think the President is planning on attending a dinner at Nobu anytime soon," Gidley said.

"Look, Hollywood people grandstand all the time, they’re elitists," he added. "They don’t know anything about what this president is doing for the American people and they couldn’t care less.”

Not only did De Niro say Trump’s not welcome in any of his establishments, he went so far as to say that he would walk out of any restaurant the president enters.

"If he walked into a restaurant I was in ‐ I’d walk out," the actor said, according to the Daily Mail.

But, as Gidley told Fox Business host Dagen McDowell, Trump’s dining options aren’t likely places the actor can expected to be seen in any time soon.

"The president has great dinners here at the White House," he explained. "And quite frankly, he can go to many of his properties around the country and globe. He won’t be stopping at Nobu anytime soon."

#14  It would be funny if Trump bought a larger stake in the restaurant chain. Might have to wait until his 8 years or up, but it would be great to have him show up any time DeNiro was enjoying a meal.

#12  Chef Nobu Matsuhisa may have to have a sit down with "Bobby Pipsqueak" and explain the difference between majority and minority ownership.

#11  I read where DeNiro is a minor partner in the resturants and the majority owner (Chef Nobu Matsuhisa?) is a Trump fan and would welcome him at any time.

#10  DeNiro isn't as awesome as he thinks he is and banning a man like Trump just shows how petty and pathetic his attempt at relevancy and attention is.

#9  They should both move to Gaza, I'm sure their fellow Nazi's would welcome them with open arms.

#8  He probably didn't move to Canada 'cuz he couldn't compete with Tim Horton's.
Canada is lucky not to have him. And Spain is lucky not to have Amy Shumer. As for the US, however....
