Award winning actor Robert De Niro on Saturday compared Donald Trump to his mentally unstable character Travis Bickle in the 1976 movie "Taxi Driver," calling the Republican nominee "totally nuts."

"But I think now they are really starting to push back, the media ... finally they are starting to say: Come on Donald, this is ridiculous, this is nuts, this is insane," said De Niro at the Sarajevo Film Festival, according to Reuters.

"What he has been saying is totally crazy, ridiculous, stuff that shouldn't be even ... he is totally nuts."

"I don't know, it's crazy that people like Donald Trump ... he shouldn't even be where he is, so God help us," De Niro said as the Sarajevo National Theater erupted in applause.
