Dunce Cap Award: America's Oldest Baby (Donald Trump)

 The Academy Awards, aka the Oscars, are in a ratings slump, partially due to COVID. The annual celebration of the movie industry has achieved all-time ratings lows two years in a row, including this year's event, which moved back to the event's former berth on the calendar this month due to the pandemic.

Unfortunately, space cadets like Spam Hannity of Fox Shmooze and former president Donald Trump have used the low ratings to try to pin the blame baselessly on the Democrats and whatever alleged agenda they have.

Where America's Oldest Baby has a problem is with how ABC and the Academy promote the show. 


"WAAAAHHHH! It's the Academy Awards, not the Oscars! WAAAAHHH!"

Guess what, jackass? The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (AMPAS) has used the Oscars nickname for their annual event since 1939, well before you were born. If you bothered to read a book of any kind, like a history book, you'd know that. There was even a movie about the event, "The Oscar", several years ago.

There were politically charged speeches on Sunday, that much is true, but the subject matter was more about gun violence against African-Americans, and attacks on other minorities, not whatever imagined Democratic agenda Citizen Pampers thinks was being discussed. That tells you all you need to know about Trump. He didn't see the show, but felt the need to rant with no evidence to support his whiny claims, as usual. What a shock.

Not quite as shocking is the fact that the unstable genius gets another Dunce Cap. I'd have Mortimer show up, but he's on vacation.
