We got enough problems with South Korea with trade. On top it, they give them best movie the year? Was it good? I don’t know… Let’s get Gone With the Wind. Can we get like Gone With the Wind back, please? Sunset Boulevard, so many great movies.”
While Trump’s packed house supporters applauded his stance against Parasite getting its flowers, the movie’s distribution team, Neon decided to clap back their Twitter account saying, “Understandable, he can’t read.”
The Democratic National Committee also chipped in their two cents on Trump’s comments Tweeting, “Parasite is a foreign movie about how oblivious the ultra-rich are about the struggles the working class, and it requires two hours reading subtitles. Of course, Trump hates it.”
And with Twitter being Twitter, the masses couldn’t help but flame Donald Trump for his Gone With The Wind endorsement and Parasite hate. Check out some those Tweets below:
