Trump Being An Idiot, Part 3,789...

[Mozz71]

So, the POTUS has got his bra strap in a twist now because a foreign language movie (which he hasn't seen) won the best movie Oscar. Plum.

You sad lot and your snide armchair comments. He’s a multimillionaire and the President of the United States of America. What have you lot achieved?

[ummmm]

He didn't earn his wealth, his father did.

I reckon the Donald’s tally is easily beaten elsewhere ...

[Mozz71]

Same as you David: feck all. Of course we also didn't inherit $200m from Daddy, or have had six separate businesses go bankrupt.

[ummmm]

6 businesses and then think of how much that effected others.

19.52 ,This thread is about Mr Big . So what have you achieved then Mr Small,?.

This is the most hilarious thread posted here for a very long time. I do love a laugh!

Anyone who doesn’t understand why businesses are put into administration doesn’t understand business. Donald Trump, they cry, is a failed businessman - one who inherited two hundred million dollars from daddy … but they neglect to acknowledge that Donald Trump is now worth an estimated 3 billion. That’s BILLION people! Some failed businessman! Magic!!!

Here is a man who, since before he was elected, has been demonised at every opportunity and in every way possible … and yet he prevails as the most powerful man on earth and is likely to remain so for a while at least.

Suggestion for the unerringly spiteful. Get a career and see if you can do better.

Incidentally, I agree with what he said.

[ichkeria]

I do seriously wonder actually whether Trump was having a laugh.
What he said was so ridiculous.

[Zacs-Master]

Despite all the evidence, some choose to ignore the elephant in the room. Politics has gone to the dogs

[sanmac]

Coming in as a very close second in inanity to the absolutely ludicrous awarding of the Best Picture Oscar to "Parasite" is the choice of Best Answer to this ridiculous post.

[naomi24]

Sanmac, agreed.

[Spicerack]

Great minds think alike, you see, samnac. And fools seldom differ.

[Mozz71]

And have either Sanmac or Naomi, both also bemoaning Parasite's awards seen the movie, or are the just writing off the movie because it's subtitled?

And Sanmac, I'll give BA to whoever I fecking want to.

[sanmac]

Wow, spicey, that was a fast response...As they sometimes say, Fools rush in...Incidentally, that's a nice little Tickle-Trunk of random thoughts that you have in which to delve into.

[Spicerack]

Keep your flipping pyjamas on. mozz.

[Spicerack]

I was referring to the choice of BA, samnac. Lol.

[Mozz71]

God forbid I should take them off Spicey, it'll frighten the horses. :-D

[sanmac]

No, Mozz, I have not seen that movie, and I don't think that many people outside of South Korea have probably seen it. I am under the impression that the Oscars are intended to primarily promote the American movie industry, with the occasional award going to a foreign movie and/or actor/actress...I think the last time I went to see a movie was in the '80s.

[sanmac]

Oops, spicey...A fine fish-filled kettle I got into there, didn't I?:)

[Mozz71]

Not really Sanmac. The awards are for world cinema, it's just that the Academy has, in the past, been mainly made of Hollywood types, loving to blow their own trumpet.

Maybe I'm more open to foreign cinema, as I'm a huge fan of both Akira Kurosawa and Hayao Miyazaki. I found it utterly refreshing to see a foreign language movie win the big prize, and believe it should have happened years ago.
