Well, the crazy ladies on “The View” are back at it folks…
They’re, of course, going nuts over Trump again, only this time it’s his stellar taste in classic movies.
At his recent rally in Colorado, Trump lamented over the awful movies in Hollywood, and how amazing movies like “Gone With the Wind” and “Sunset Boulevard” should make a comeback.
You know, the movies Hollywood used to make before they all became whiney, far-left hacks?

“Gone With the Wind” has actually been rated number four on the American Film Institute’s best films of the last century.
But naturally the kooks on “The View” didn’t see it that way and took the reference to a movie that takes place during the Civil War as Trump’s longing to go back to slavery.
Co-host Ana Navarro joked, “Let’s bring back the Civil War, let’s bring back slaves!” while co-host Sunny Hostin added that Trump likely thought America was great back in 1939 when the beloved film was released.
“When was America great to him?” she asked. “If it was great when ‘Gone with the Wind’ came out with all those caricatures, those stereotypes and racial tropes, I thought what he said was really sort of instructive and reflective of what goes on [in his mind].” [The Blaze]

I mean, besides the movie taking place during the Civil War, “Gone With the Wind” in no way promotes bringing back slavery. Sure it depicts it in a stylized and un-historically factual way, but it’s a movie for Christ’s sake.
If you were going by that same logic, you would say “Game of Thrones” is promoting nothing but incest, when in reality that’s only a small plot point in relation to the entire scope of the story.
