Trump mocks Parasite's Best Picture win

Recommended Posts

President Donald Trump took aim at “Parasite’s” historic Oscar wins at a Colorado rally on Thursday.

“How bad were the Academy Awards this year?” he asked, prompting jeers from the crowd. “Did you see it?”

“The winner is… a movie from South Korea! What the hell was that all about?” he went on. “We got enough problems with South Korea with trade. On top of that, they give them best movie of the year? Was it good? I don’t know. Let’s get ‘Gone With the Wind.’ Can we get ‘Gone With the Wind’ back, please?”

“So many great movies…” he bemoaned before again mocking, “the winner is from South Korea!”

“I thought it was best foreign film, right? Best foreign movie,” he said. “Did this ever happen before?”

It hadn’t, actually, happened before. “Parasite” made history when it became the first foreign-language film to win best picture at the Oscars, also taking home original screenplay, director for Bong Joon Ho and best international film.

The xenophobia to get mad over an Oscar winner being from South Korea rip4 And entertaining the idea that he's just mad it's a foreign country and that he would still be upset if the winner was from the UK, I didn't know it was the American Movie Awards!

Turns out Trump is just like us Millennials - nostalgic for things that are older than us eve1
