Actor Michael Rapaport says Donald Trump needs to take some advice from the iconic 1990 mob flick “Goodfellas.”
“Trump, take your pinch like a man,” he told the former president in a recent YouTube video, referring to a scene in which young Henry Hill (Christopher Serrone) gets busted. Rather than name and blame the others, he accepts his fate.
“I’m proud of you,” mobster Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) tells him afterward. “You took your first pinch like a man.”
But the outspoken actor said Trump’s going the other way.
“You’re whining. You’re complaining. You’re pointing fingers at everybody,” Rapaport said. “Take your pinch like a man. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.”
He also warned Trump that there’s “a whole lot more coming” in terms of legal problems.
Trump’s criminal trial for allegedly mishandling government documents is set to begin on August 14; he was also indicted in New York over a hush money payment and is facing an investigation in Georgia for his actions to overturn the 2020 election.
“August is gonna be a rough month for you,” Rapaport said in a nearly 20-minute rant against Trump, former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and others.
