When
most
of
Hollywood
never
leave
a
chance
of
denouncing
Donald
Trump
and
expressing
their
frustration
over
his
presidential
win,
it
was
time
for
Trump
to
return
the
favour
pointing
out
the
incident
when
announcing
the
Oscar
for
Best
Picture
went
wrong.
The
US
President
Donald
Trump
took
a
jibe
at
the
Oscar
error,
saying
that
Hollywood's
excessive
obsession
with
politics
and
Trump
led
to
this
kind
of
serious
blunder.
"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," said
Donald
Trump
in
a
statement.
"It
just
seems
that
the
other
side,
whenever
they
are
losing
badly,
they
pull
out
the
race
card.
And
I've
watched
it
for
years.
I've
watched
it
against
Ronald
Reagan.
I've
watched
it
against
so
many
other
people.
And
they
always
like
pulling
out
the
race
card." Added
Trump.
"I
think
they
were
focused
so
hard
on
politics
that
they
didn't
get
the
act
together
at
the
end."
Said
the
newly
elected
US
President.
When
being
asked,
if
he
takes
all
the
Hollywood
slur
personally,
Trump
said,
"I
can't.
Because
I
consider
it
a
very
serious
violation
when
they
say
it,
and
I
have
to
write
it
off
as
purely
politics."
