Trump the Movie Reviewer

Trump didn’t like “Parasite.”  He hasn’t seen it, but he railed about it at one of his rallies.  I’m not about to get into a discussion of the film, but I will say it was amazing.  However you have to read subtitles unless you know Korean, and we know Trump does not like to read and does not know Korean.


I will point out that Trump’s opinion on movies has nothing to do with his policies or the United States government.  His followers don’t attend his rallies for that.  They attend for the same reason that people go to monster truck rallies or professional wrestling.  They want to be amused and entertained.  Opinions on movies or insults against Democrats excite the crowd, produce laughter, satisfy the expectations.  Trump may be re-elected not because of his polices, but because he is an entertainer, and he’s good at it.
