Trump: Oscar Mix-Up Happened Because The Focus Was On Attacking Me

Source: Huffington Post

Donald Trump has an explanation for Sunday night’s Oscar flub that is straight out of la la land.

The president claims the organizers spent too much time focusing on attacking him rather than working on getting the details of the show right.

“I think they were focused so hard on politics that they didn’t get the act together at the end,” Trump told Breitbart News. “It was a little sad. It took away from the glamour of the Oscars. It didn’t feel like a very glamorous evening. I’ve been to the Oscars. There was something very special missing, and then to end that way was sad.”

Honestly. You can't make this stuff up. It is ALWAYS about him.

I'm guessing this was on Fox n Friends this morning.

She said something like "Well I'm sorry but they were spending so much time attack the President. THE PRESIDENT. That it was bound to come back at them"

She didn't watch the Oscars.

They had nothing to do with the writing or the attacks on you, fool.

Furthermore, the whole focus of the commentary was about inclusiveness and acceptance. I heard no angry outbursts. Everyone seemed to be of one mind about focusing on love, not hate.

ME! It's all about ME!!! And the whole world is about ME! And everything that ever happens is about ME! Did you see my cross and how I rose from the dead, too? There should be a pope for ME!!!

MAN! There's this cockamamie group called the Reagan Legacy Project I think it is. And their sole mission, now and forevermore amen, is to get ronald reagan's name plastered on everything there is that doesn't move. And I'm sure they'd think up exceptions to get around that, too. We're talking schools - elementary, high school, college, office buildings, public buildings, streets and boulevards, freeways, freeway overpasses, parks, hell, I'm surprised they don't include toxic waste dumps and porcelain toilet factories.

I bet trump will push for one of those from his remaining sycophants - professional and/or amateur. He'll probably demand that the entire planet be named for him, if not the solar system. He hardly even qualifies for the ASS-teroid belt.

That should say enough for any responsible adult. Breitbart is a gossip, political rag and the POTUS should not be giving interviews with such morons.

He is certifiably insane, to the point that I don't even watch the news on tv anymore, I just check DU and one or two news sites. Our country is being run by a crazy man, I'd like some space where I don't have to think about him so I just watch TV shows on DVR so that I don't even see him on an ad for the news.

where a team scored a touchdown as time expired and won. They skipped the PATand started celebrating, the fans ran onto the field, and no one saw the ref throw a flag. After much confusion the down was replayed, they didn't score , and the other team won. The LalaLand field became Moonlight.
Maybe some diehard DU football fan can remember this game (or more than one).

And the PWC people in the back got distracted by her and gave Warren Beatty the wrong card.
