Actor Robert De Niro, a longtime critic of Donald Trump , expressed his relief at the presidents loss in the 2020 election on Mondays broadcast of MSNBC s The Beat.

But The Godfather: Part II star warned of what Trump had set in motion over the last four years, fearing he might have inspired someone smarter than him to wreak even more chaos on the country, but in a more subtle way.

Therell be other people like him in the future, maybe not in my lifetime, De Niro told host Ari Melber .

Somebodys going to come along whos a lot smarter, more sensitive, more mercurial and not so boorish and will be able to pull the wool over the eyes of the public, he continued. And then we will have a more serious, deeper problem, and one that might actually get further than what Trump has done.

Hes also set an example, unfortunately, to other young people that this kind of thing can be done, and thats why its so important after he is out of office that he is held accountable, De Niro added.
