Dunce Cap Award: Who else would be so willing to be embarrassed on national television during the Oscars?

 Two years ago, the Academy Awards were marred by the infamous slap heard 'round the world between Will Smith and Chris Rock.

This year, the most immature adult on the planet rage-posted during the Oscars, and got embarrassed by host Jimmy Kimmel.

You'd think Donald Trump would learn by now, and so should the rest of the Republicans, for that matter, that picking fights with Kimmel and other comics never ends well. Kimmel was alerted to a message on his phone from Orange Narcissus, and read it in real time on the air.

As Jesse Dollemore explains, Trump essentially walked into a trap.


Kimmel also took the time, not shown above, to subtly shade Senator Katie Britt, the deer in the headlights tasked with the GOPer response to this year's State of The Union message on Thursday, less than 24 hours after Scarlett Johanssen parodied Britt on Saturday Night Live. Britt was already getting raked over the coals after her message on Thursday before that double whammy.

Earlier Sunday, South Carolina's Nancy Mace tried using the victim card, and accused ABC's George Stephanopoulos of shaming her on This Week. All she did was share her past experience having been raped, but in the course of being asked about Trump and his legal troubles with E. Jean Carroll in particular. Deflection 101. She refused to directly answer Stephanopoulos' questions, and social media let her have it.

Back to Trump. He could've just let it go, but he has had a grudge ever since The Apprentice had repeatedly failed to win Emmy awards, and he felt the need to vent. Unfortunately, it was the wrong time, the wrong place, and the wrong victim (Kimmel). As for Diaper Don's claim about giving the Oscars to people "who deserve them", what do ya think they did last night, pumpkin face?


"WAAAAHHHH!! I hate Kimmel! He sucks! WAAAAAHHHH!"

You're just jealous because he has better writers than you do.

Haven't seen the fast national ratings on the Oscars, but I'd imagine Kimmel took the numbers up from last year, and skewering Trump & Britt had something to do with it.

The one thing more than anything that Trump has presided over the last 9 years is the dumbing down of the GOP. That, more than anything, could cost him in November. That said, the Annoying Orange gets another Dunce Cap, which he can pass to Mace or Britt, since he has so many....
