Trump Would Like You To Know That He Did Not Enjoy The Oscars This Year

Well, it only took him a few weeks, but we now finally know how President Trump truly felt about the 92nd Academy Awards. While holding a rally in Colorado last night for his many supporters, Trump decided to take the time to reflect on how "bad" the Oscars were, especially for awarding Best Picture to Parasite, a foreign film. In a speech that went viral, Trump not only announces how aghast he is that a film from South Korea, won instead of a film like Gone With The Wind or Sunset Boulevard. In addition, Trump also decided to mock Brad Pitt by calling him a "wise guy," after he gave his speech at the awards ceremony. Twitter obviously kept circulating the clip and soon everyone jumped in to react to Trump's words.

Film Twitter, in particular, was not exactly here for Trump's critique of Parasite.

Some assumed that the President just had difficulty with the film's subtitles.

Trump hates Parasite because he can’t read

Some argued that he should have actually liked the movie.

Ironically, Parasite is about how ineffectual, unaware elites exploit the working class, and the extreme lengths that the lower classes will go to reach that upper echelon, a message you'd think Trump could appreciate.Also, this is an objectively terrible movie take. https://t.co/nu5oc6UzDx

A theory began to circulate that Home Alone 2 is the only movie he has seen.

Saw the clip of Trump talking about Parasite, Gone With The Wind, and Sunset Boulevard. But I refuse to believe he's seen any movie except Home Alone 2, because he's in that one.

Bette Midler decided to defend the movie.

At his rally, #Trump complained about #Parasite winning the Oscar. I’m more upset that a parasite won the White House.

One user suggested that the film had merely copied Trump's tactics.

Donald Trump didn't like Parasite because working in a famous house after a series of cons is HIS thing.

The clip generated a lot of confusion about which parasite the film was about.

When I read “President Trump goes off on Parasite” I assumed it was about Don Jr.

Perhaps the film can be remastered?

Trump would have been thrilled that Parasite won Best Picture if it had been filmed in North Korea and directed by Kim Jong-un

Perhaps this will actually cost him the election, since the film happens to be beloved by so many?

Trump mocked PARASITE? That's it. He has finally crossed a line.

Some felt that maybe the President was triggered by the film.

Yes, Trump's a racist, but there's an even bigger reason he can't stand Parasite winning Best Picture: it also has a piss tape pic.twitter.com/kB3VXhi6l6

One user imagined how Parasite's director reacted upon seeing the video.

An extended version of the video, where the President voiced his opinions on Brad Pitt, responded in more confusion.

TRUMP: "By the way, how bad where the Academy Awards this year? [Booing] 'And the winner is a movie from South Korea!' What was that all about? We got enough problems with South Korea out with trade."He then repeatedly calls Brad Pitt "a little wise guy." pic.twitter.com/sAEWlrKr0T

Something tells me that #BradPitt could give a shit what @realDonaldTrump thinks about him.

Of course several users agreed with President Trump.

Trump slamming the Academy Awards and mentioning Gone With the Wind is 100x more interesting than anything that happened in the Democrat Debate(s)

If anything, Trump now has a new slogan to use.

Trump 2020: Bring Back “Gone With The Wind”

After the video went viral, the North American distributor for Parasite decided to respond.

Understandable, he can't read.#Parasite #BestPicture #Bong2020 https://t.co/lNqGJkUrDP
