'Parasite' studio fires back after Trump criticism: 'He can't read'
By Morgan Gstalter - 02/21/20 07:05 AM EST


The movie studio behind the South Korean film “Parasite” hit back on Thursday after President Trump criticized the foreign-language film for winning best picture at the 2020 Academy Awards.

"Understandable, he can't read," Neon tweeted from its official account with a link to Trump's comments.

I guess someone who's illiterate wouldn't have much use for a movie with subtitles. As if his psychotic drugged mind could focus on something for 2 hours even if he could read.

Of course Trump is too clueless to understand that while the movie was produced by a South Korean company, it's availability in the US (and its eligibility for an Oscar) was underwritten by a US company.

Is that not a movie about his "Hair"? Of course he prefers movies where stupidly rich white people make their money while minorities do their work, for free. Slavery, wealth, Lazy white folk, bibles, and adultery. More of those please, no subtitles beyond 3 grade reading, small words, very short sentences, (or in MAGAs style just grouping of words) leave them up for 10 minutes.
