A lighter look at the news

What, you might ask, do the Oscar awards ceremony and a Presidential re-election rally have to do with each other. Absolutely nothing, you might conclude and you would be absolutely right.

But of course, the wonder that is Donald Trump, managed to work the Oscars' into his speech in Colorado. He mocked the fact that the South Korean film, Parasite, won the Oscar for 'Best Picture'.

With blatant, gleeful xenophobia, he shared the fact that he thought at first that it had won 'best foreign film'. But he was baffled (doesn't take much) to discover that it had indeed won 'Best (overall) Picture'.

Bring back Gone with the Wind, he urged. Perhaps he has so enjoyed his encounters with the wind, that he is looking to make the leap from reality star to Hollywood star (in case things don't work out in November).

Swept with the Wind

He also appears to have not received the #bekind memo that has been trending this week.

In his unique way, he has continued bestowing what he probably thinks of as 'funny' names, to people who get under his thin skin.

Brad Pitt is the 'little wise guy',  'Crazy Bernie' (Sanders), 'Mini Mike' (Bloomberg) ... the list goes on. What does he call himself, you  might well wonder.

Well, read on and make sure you're sitting on a soft surface, as there is every possibility that your jaw may well drop to the floor.

Referring to a 100 year old war veteran who attended his rally in Arizona, Trump said, 'I don't know if he knows it, but he's, right now, the hottest celebrity in the world.' He went on, 'He might even be hotter than Trump, right now.'

First of all, slightly worrying that he spoke about himself in the third person. Apparently, illeism is usually favoured by egocentrics and oddballs (I'm saying nothing).

Secondly, also worrying that he thinks he is hot. But to be fair, he does sometimes look hot. Like in the picture below. Although, I would say less hot and more over baked.

Until next time, try and keep it light.
