At a packed rally in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Thursday night, President Donald Trump hit famed actor Brad Pitt over his politically-charged Oscars acceptance speech earlier this month. “How bad were the Academy Awards?” Trump sounded-off, Thursday night. “And then we have Brad Pitt. I was never a big fan of his.” “He got up, said a little wise guy thing,” the president added. “He’s a little wise guy.” While accepting an Academy Award for his role in “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood,” Pitt dropped an impeachment joke. “They told me I only have 45 seconds up here, which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week,” he said. “I’m thinking maybe Quentin [Tarantino] does a movie about it. In the end, the adults do the right thing,” quipped the actor, taking a shot at Senate Republicans.
