Real estate mogul and conservative reality TV star Donald Trump complained Monday morning that the 2015 Academy Awards ceremony was biased in favor of Mexicans and against conservatives.
"It was a great night for Mexico, as usual," Trump said during an appearance on the Fox News show "Fox & Friends," referring to "Birdman' director Alejandro González Iñárritu's wins for best director, best picture, and best original screenplay. "This guy kept getting up and up and up. I said, you know, 'What's he doing? He's walking away with all the gold!'"
Earlier in the segment, Trump said the ceremony was biased against the right. "There was a lot of conservative-hatred there. There was no question about that," Trump said.
"I haven't seen any conservatives lately get up and start ranting and raving," he added.

(17,900 posts)conservatives are hated.
this is clearly projection of their feelings. they know they deserve to be hated and despised.
we need to somehow confront them on this hypocrasy. it is not liberals that hate conservatives, it is conservatives who hate everyone and loathe themselves.

(44,732 posts)How else can one explain the fact that only one contestant from the US has won in the past ten years, while winners during that period have included three contestants from commie Venezuela, one from Mexico, one from Colombia and one from Puerto Rico (which I'm pretty sure Trump doesn't consider part of the USA). Canada, Japan, and Angola, with one win apiece, round out the list.
Trump owns and sponsors a pageant that doesn't think American women are as beautiful as women from south of the border. He's no patriot.
