Trump blasts best-picture Oscar for South Korean film 'Parasite'. More here:

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - President Donald Trump on Thursday ridiculed the historic best-picture Oscar win for South Korean film “Parasite,” telling a campaign rally he wished for the return of Hollywood classics like 1939’s “Gone with the Wind.”

“Parasite,” a dark social satire about the gap between rich and poor in modern Seoul, earlier this month became the first non-English-language film to take Hollywood’s top prize. It also won three other Oscars - best director and original screenplay for Bong Joon Ho and best international feature film.

“What the hell was that all about? We’ve got enough problems with South Korea, with trade. And after all that, they give them best movie of the year?” Trump added.

Nostalgia for for your president

What in the world is he rambling about? He should be speaking about real issues in our nation and specific plans about how to help citizens. RankedChoiceVoting campaignReform noLobbying

This is actually evetertaining. You gotta give it to the Donald!

What an orange face with sprayed tan and a lot of white concealer around his eyes-the big fake and fat pretender.

FoxNews is almost unwatchable with all the never-Trumpers talking cheap shots against realDonaldTrump and his supporters. More and more their bias goes unchallenged by the hosts - ex: AB Stoddard. More so on weekend afternoons, where the hosts themselves are the never-Trumpers.

I just don’t understand why people can listen to Trump’s incoherent ramblings. That would be torture for me to listen to all this BS. I wanted to be an educated voter in 2016 so I listened to some of his rallies. I felt my brain cells being destroyed.

I swear he's on drugs

One person in FoxNews Network of shows said some comment that ruffled the ego here. Word choice is crucial to remember. The constant use of “us”, as in the calls etc, means “me”. And Hannity and co-sycophants of rest FoxFakeNews are praised. Impeached

And we can guess who “us” is ...

Trump is a perfect match to African autocrats.

make sense

Imagine going out of your way to listen to a grown man whine for an hour.

'If the South had a won the war we'd a had it made...' Really!?

BREAKING: Donald Trump has DIED RIPDonaldTrump

Grandpa is crazy and barely functioning. dementiadonald presidementia GOPrussianmobmoney

Old days.... like last year?

Make Fox Great Again

i think mr trumph not see good or not the film, but he only see where the film come from

Olha aí josiasteofilo

A academia realmente votou politicamente, não criticamente. Se o presidente fosse o Obama, coringa ou 1917 levariam a estatueta. Mas a academia quiz dar esse recado ao Trump. Tudo é política, até quando você não quer, é política.

'I don't know if it was best film of the year' [but it shouldn't have got the award best film of the year] Dense as always.

RuleOfLaw has died in America & this is your focus?

De man word met dag onsympathiek maar ook dommer. Hij kletst uit zijn nek en is totaal gestoord. Deze man is de Leider van zoals hij zegt het grootste land op aarde. Amerika moet zich schamen voor zo een onbenul. Diep triest

Stick to corruption Trump. Something you excel at.

Nice 😄

Im not a Trump Supporter by any metric, but he is right , I saw that film and its very very average....given as a nod to diversity rather than the art..

😂😂😂😂😂

Instead of 10 million ppl, Walls & a Stadium, Modi could have showed Trump 🔸Any 1 of the 100 Smart Cities 🔸Any 1 village in Varanasi under Adarsh Gram Yojana 🔸Any 1 successful company under Govt's Start-up India Trump deserved to see Modiji's Vikas!

Takes a parasite to know one. realDonaldTrump

Philistine

🤦🏽‍♀️

Idiot in many ways.

Fools foxnation

'...but it's okay, we'll win anyway.' Confidence levels up in the sky. 😂😂

If all news outlets agreed to stop covering Trump and his rallies, he will lose the re election. That’s all it takes.

It bears noting. Pay close attention to what he says. He “blasts” either out of anger or lucky strategy based on input of others. 1)Stone and other 10 pardoned associates were linked to FOX in major newspapers ie NYT/Washington Post. - Educated guess based

Lou Dobbs, says that he was the greatest President ever. WTF does that even mean?

Only black dude strategically placed in front of cam

To paraphrase what appears to be his favourite film, quite frankly my dear I don't give a §hit.

Sounded like 1 anchor... not Fox News in general. FakeNews!

👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️👀👀👀👀

Trump is number 1 hero of the world he really doing great job for his nation . We Proud on you trump.

🤭

Boy, Trump is just going after everybody these days. Waiting for him to jump on OAN's case for not giving him more airtime next.

With the state of high technology in today's world, I am of the opinion every ATM should have the ability to change to 20 different languages. Wondering why not? For example in Honolulu, one can change the ATM from English to Japanese or Chinese. Why not more languages?

What does he ever do besides campaign, tweet and golf?

Crazy horse.

What if RahulGandhi priyankagandhi acknowledges few media in India for thier services rendered similarly ? Thank you ShekharGupta aroonpurie nramind Etc. Loyal media for INCIndia

Is he bored with belittling Mexicans so he will now belittle Koreans? What does his trade issues with South Korea have to do with Parasite winning Best Film? Does he have to make EVERYTHING political?

A president name dropping his favorite sycophants in the media. Unreal.

I love whenever he says “but it’s ok” it’s so apparent it bugs the crap out of him 😂

No thanks, waiting for the Trump show to end.

Way to go Reuter’s keep reporting this inane ramblings

So she choked, Trump cant speak or spell!!!! Or get countries right. And states right. Doent know the words to National Anthem.... the list goes on. Trump stupid.

Self-restraint for despicable Don: leaving off the 'like a dog.'

ABD siyasi tarihinin en kötü başkanı. Trump'a destek verenler aptalca.👉💩DonaldTrump

There’s only one thing he hates more than Democrats, and that is WOMEN. They’re nothing more than sexbots or duds to him.

Donald condemned the movie Parasite today because he is a small child and not on his senility meds. ironically, he is the parasite that has infected our country and eroding it from the inside out.

Red hats equal haterdist

Someone who confuses Syrian Kurds with the Iraqi Kurds as he's meeting with the president of Iraqi Kurdistan, who says he's a chief law enforcement officer of the US after 3 years as POTUS, mocks anyone on this planet?

Pure Mussolini. Remember how he wound up (speaking of 'choking')?

How sad and revolting this thing is our “President.” CarnivalBarkingClown

Very presidential!

god he's just insufferable 😖🥴

That's what happens when you eat salad with a comb.

Here go the insults and ridicule again. What a wonderful president!

These rallies are basically Trump doing a stand-up comedy bit. Which is fitting considering Trump is an absolute joke!

All these constituents, Americans, cheering as realDonaldTrump belittles & mocks a respected US Senator & presidential candidate, amyklobuchar What happened to your values as Americans? My America is better than that. POTUS Shut Up!! DumpTrump2020 VoteBlueNoMatterWho2020

What’s his obsession with choking?

Those who attend Trump's rally are infected with the bad virus that makes people aggressive, and those who attend Sanders' rally are infected with the good virus that makes people happy. Sanders is positive to something but Trump is negative.

GOPComplicitTraitors

Trump has sold out this country. It should be called the United States of Russia. We will be a third world country if this asshole gets re-elected. Every republican has to be held accountable as they created this mess.

Rightfully so. She is dumb.

Stormy Daniels mocked Trumps performance in the sack & he paid her $140,000.00.

The President's right, she choked. She couldn't even remember the President of Mexico's name. And, if she can't handle being trolled by Buttigieg, a member of her own party, how the hell is she going to act on the world stage? DNC amyklobuchar PeteButtigieg GOP KAG

As a manager, Trump was a loser who experienced four personal bankruptcies.

Ho Hum. He would mock his Mother for her hairstyle ... that he copies!!

The pathetic state of our politics. Everything he touches is ruined.

No. Stop. This is free advertising for him. Just stop it already.

Who does this? Our Commander in Chief.... embarrassing.

This is a distraction from the humongous issue of Trump's treachery:

What kind of Christians are those people? What kind of example are they setting for their children?

He is a garbage human

Reuters, CNN, MSNBC, etc. need to take the TDS challenge. Go a full 24 hours without mentioning Trump. Sadly, I bet they can't do it...

45 sounds like 88 just not in a beer hall!

Talking about politics can be a somber affair, Mr. Trumpet are jumping ships to becoming a comedian and a film critics. Mixing politics and humours are like water and oil, they don’t Emulsify together, 2 different elements.

Forget for a moment that he's actually the POTUS ... He's simply a miserable example of a human being.

And no one is surprised in the slightest.

America is worse for having him as a president.

I am so tired and disgusted by this con artist. Trump is destroying America.

Dey turkin er Oscurrr

He’s an embarrassment to the human race.

Sick , vile, small man

Trump hate rally like always.

I don’t understand why he was making fun of her when he can’t even pronounce people’s first or last names never mind countries.

I hate him. But true

You supporters are sick to want this hateful man as president. Bebestdumbdumbs

Utterly shocked realDonaldTrump didn’t suggest “Home Alone 2” since he was in it. This may be his only selfless act.

He's a sick, twisted excuse for human.

Film? Did they actually use film?

Why? Who cares but his cult members?

Of course grandpa ranty would long for the days of pre-civil war.

That movie was overrated as hell. Reminded me of a bad 'Tales from the Crypt' episode. 1917 was far superior

...and she deserves every lil bit of it

He cant read so the subtitles upset him.

Is he becoming a caricature of himself? Or am I just late to this realisation?

Who cares what he thinks?

Funny

not necessary to report. not news. he does this every day. the only time something he says would be news is if something he said were actually factual and true.

He's had a few defeats recently, so he's going back to his basics by appealing to his lowest common denominator followers. Bigotry and white supremacy fear tactics are at his core. ComplicitCorruptGOP MailOrderBride FlufferGOP

What a tosser!

A mug then and a mug now 😏

Oscar or dustbin

When your supporters has no intellectual capacity, you come up with shit like this.

Goldspoon is indifferent to the fundamental problem of capitalism, so material civilization perishes.

rot in hell!

It's really embarrassing for Trump, and he's talking as usual about something he doesn't know. This is one of the best films I've seen, and it deals with the issue of inequality. It is definitely better than most American movies in recent years, which have been empty.

I hated it at first but I went and saw the movie. It was so good, especially the getting of rich people. What most of us dream of doing.

Ladies and gentlemen... our president, the most arrogant man ever to be elected.

This is so sad to me. The President of the United States is condemning a movie because it was filmed in South Korea. Diversity and inclusion is what brings us together. This President is tearing us apart.

realDonaldTrump really wants to bring America forward by bringing back a movie from 1940.

Trump would love Parasite. It's about a family of immoral con artists that lie and cheat to infiltrate a house they don't belong in for personal gain.

Possibly because he's an admixture of dullard x redneck irony of the unreconstructed Untermensch

WTAF

realDonaldTrump might have enjoyed “Parasite” if he knew how to read the sub-titles.

Ahem, Who watches the sanctimonious Oscars anymore ?

He, like anyone in America, is entitled to their own opinion!

Haha the guy who directed a reality tv show where he showed how bias he was as a leader comments on the selection of best movie of the year. Gimme a frigging break.

When they give it to a film that 95% of the country has never heard of, they should expect some fall out.

Trump might not be wrong. The Academy Awards are trying very hard to remain relevant and 'in the news', particularly after plummeting viewership and interest of late.

Who needs allies, am I right?

73% chance realDonaldTrump hasn’t even seen Gone With The Wind.

Lol Trump is Trump 😂

Knows his crowd. Gotta give him that.

Is it because he’s functionally illiterate?

And Donald Trump counters with a racist movie... What is new?

Aaaa except he was blasting the Oscar's that no one watches 🔥 🔥 🔥

What do you expect him to talk about with his base of zombies? The inverted yield curve? Quantum physics?

Here's a movie for Trump:

the world loves our movies, but we cannot grant them one win?

King Simpleton surrounded by lesser simpletons.

Great movie. Probably a bit too tense for Trump supporters, but any of them brave enough to watch a tense funny drama might like it.

I have taken dumps that have more integrity than this bottom feeder.

'Parasite' is way beyond his IQ level. He's behaving like a 12 year old kid. He needs growing up. Wonder how the hell he became President of United States. Keep Ranting!

This isn’t news. Media would rather this than facts

I don’t know why it is so great. Koreans are great people, but the film theme looks like a roaring bore. Even Bernie would fall asleep.

you were (unfortunately) elected to lead. not diss movies.

Uh..

He is so stupid it’s embarrassing

Sub-titles are challenging for illiterates.

He's only mad because he can't read.

Petty And..... weird. He is Drunk Uncle

trump is a film critic now.daffy duck is in his wheelhouse

Trump probably

Golf lover to movie commentator?

Unreal

Respected again...
