Double points for not only stoking xenophobia but for using Gone with the Wind as an exemplar.
Stoking Xenophobia
Utterly irresponsible.

Bette Midler had the best response to this…
At his rally, #Trump complained about #Parasite winning the Oscar. I’m more upset that a parasite won the White House.

@Ken_L: only because most of his base have never actually heard of Birth of a Nation or would watch a silent film.

Did you see the reply?
Four words is all it took for “Parasite” distributor Neon to snap back at Donald Trump after he mocked the Bong Joon Ho-directed movie for winning the Best Picture Oscar…. Neon wasted no time responding to Trump’s mockery on social media, writing in a caption: “Understandable, he can’t read.”

@Ken_L: Birth of a Nation? Trump’s about my age, and even I’m not old enough to have seen Birth of a Nation. But I’ve heard of it, because I read. Neon, via @Liberal Capitalist: is probably right that Trump can’t read, which makes it unlikely he’s ever heard of Birth of a Nation.
About 40 years ago my wife and I saw a re-release of Gone With the Wind in a theater. I was afraid we’d get thrown out for laughing in the wrong places. I fear most of the audience didn’t see how farcical it had become by that time.
