What Trump is implying here is why on earth would the Academy Awards celebrate a foreign movie when they aren’t white! Why wouldn’t they find a white movie to prop up?! I mean, surely Hillary Swank or Tom Cruise did something...didn’t they? Maybe I’m just assuming that Trump wanted a white movie to win. That’s probably an unfair assumption to make. I shouldn’t put words into his anus-shaped mouth.

Trump continued: “Can we get ‘Gone With the Wind’ back, please?”

Yes, let’s go back to a time where white people lived on plantations and black people worked as servants. Just because the president has Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson warm his bed every night doesn’t mean that he’s racist; maybe Carson is just a really good bed warmer.

What’s most amazing about the president’s comments isn’t that he made them, it’s that the studio behind Parasite clapped back hard, posting that the president would be upset about the South Korean film winning the top prize because it was featured with subtitles and the president has trouble with words over four letters. (Harriot also explored Trump’s trouble reading, which can be read here, here, and here.)
