Trump Thinks Oscars Flub Was All Because of Him

President Trump blamed the embarrassing mix-up at the end of the Oscars on the awards’ show focus on him.

“I think they were focused so hard on politics that they didn’t get the act together at the end,” Trump told Breitbart in an interview Monday, the day after the show messed up and awarded the wrong movie with its most prestigious award, Best Picture.

Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway named “La La Land” the winner, but then had to yank the award away and give it to the real winner, “Moonlight.”

Someone should ask this idiot writer just one question: If it wasn’t about DJT then how come they didn’t shut up about him all night.

Yeah, the host of the show was Tweeting the President live on national television to show how they weren’t thinking about him.

I read on Reddit the Donald that his prediction a day in advance about the riots in Sweden show he must be a time traveler. Since he was busy at the Governors Ball, he sent V-P Pence to switch the envelopes at the Oscars.😄 That's my theory and I'm sticking with it. Warren Beatty showed himself to be a cad when he opened the envelope and claims he knew it was wrong so he handed it to Faye Dunaway to read.

How did Warren get a second Best Actress envelope when you would be sure the Best Actress took hers earlier

It’s called ‘karma’, and it’s pronounced, “Ha-ha-ha”.

FROM Trump’s Twitter page from the past:

Do you believe this singing? #Oscars
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 3, 2014

They should have allowed applause during the TRIBUTE to the departed – Really bad production. Bette Midler sucked! #Oscars
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 3, 2014

This is Amateur Night – who the hell is in charge of this production? #Oscars
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 3, 2014

Put the glamour, beauty & mystery back in the Oscars and the ratings will zoom. Also, & most importantly, the Oscars need credibility.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 24, 2015

Worst graphics and stage backdrop ever at the Oscars. Show is terrible, really BORING!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 23, 2015

I should host the #Oscars just to shake things up – this is not good!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 3, 2014

Of course the Russians hacked the Oscars and drugged the two follywooders who named the wrong winning movie.

(Vlad The Inhaler )

Even more serious is the charge that the Russians hacked the Oscars.

It sucks to say it, but the Russians hacked the Oscars and tried to promote the views of the great movie director, Vlad the Inhaler ( Vladimir Putin the nemesis of the utopian fascist left.)

I think that we should inform John McCain and Lindsey Graham immediately, this is a matter for the Senate Intelligence Committee.

We can’t afford to have the Russians hacking the Oscar voting mechanism. A whole sector of our economy is subject to attack, the Entertainment Sector.

Appoint a special prosecutor NOW!

The rumor is the Price/Waterhouse idiot was tweeting when he handed Warren Beatty the envelope!
