America You Have Donald Trump, But We Have Ram Gopal Varma To Run Down Women

Just when you thought the day couldn't get worse.

If you're one of those who thought your day couldn't get any worse, brace yourself for Ram Gopal Varma. The once-acclaimed filmmaker who, by now, must have set some sort of a record for the most number of flops, let loose on Twitter as soon as Donald J. Trump was elected the president of the United States of America.

No, he wasn't sputtering with rage, but cackling with glee. For the benefit of over two million people who follow him on the social media platform.

It all began quite innocently, with RGV patting himself on the back for predicting Trump's victory from a mile. The self-gloating was followed by dissing those who had been saying the opposite.

πŸ’ƒAm congratulating myself😎for predicting a Trump victory✌️️more than 4 months agoπŸ˜€..I am throwing a Trumping party tonite🍺🍾🍴😘😍

All those people who thought Trump was nonsensical are now proved to be nonsensical Ha ha πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜Ž

Fair enough. We know millions, who had laughed off any possibility of a Trump victory, would also be drinking tonight β€” to drown their sorrows and face the horrors of the days ahead. But RGV wasn't done yet.

He then went on to point out that Trump had won in all the states where Barack Obama had actively campaigned against him. This, according to Varma, proves America's rejection of not only Hillary Clinton but also Obama. He followed this observation, still excusable, with a series of shockingly offensive, racist, misogynist and inflammatory tweets.

OK. You need to take a few deep breaths for this.

Obama's and Michelle Obama's faces must have turned blacker than this with today's trumping result 😎 pic.twitter.com/VMta5QvkZM

He wasn't done though.

For some reason I like the present First Lady much more than the previous..can anyone tell me why?😳 pic.twitter.com/itxmlyryO5

After the First-Lady-to-be, it was the turn of the new POTUS to be crowned with RGV's special laurel of praise.

Advancement in human thinking is to elect a man who in his 60's can talk about grabbing a woman's Pussy..Honesty wins..Unka America MahaanπŸ™

According to RGV, Trump will be joining the ranks of "Lincoln, Kennedy and Roosevelt" after "killing political correctness" with his "out of box" thinking. If you need a translation, this probably means: no matter how big a bigot you are, you can win β€” and like what. Of course, Varma didn't forget to include our very own PM among this league of luminaries.

He went on to soften his tone for a couple of tweets but, well, there was no stopping him once people started calling out his gratuitous bigotry. You don't need any commentary to accompany these tweets, although you may feel there are not enough eyerolls in the world to express your disgust.

Yes I am black but I luv whites😍 ..All blacks luv whites more,but since I am not egotistic like most of them I accept the truth 😌 https://t.co/vrX3FRt69r

I know many blacks who desperately wanted to become white including Michael Jackson but don't know of any whites who want to become blacks

I am 5'8,but I luv only above 6 foot guys the same way I like people who are whiter than me πŸ˜€

β€” Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) November 9, 2016

I also like people who have lot more money than people who have lesser and I like people with fit bodies than ones with flab

β€” Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) November 9, 2016

I like intelligence compared to dumbness and a luxury car to a bike,a hamburger to a upma and a plane to a train

Those who have followed Trump's campaign are surely going to find resonances, and influences, of the new president's thought process on RGV's.

Well, not that RGV's vileness, like Trump's, is a shockingly new discovery β€” in case you don't remember his abusive thread about former prime ministers of India β€” but every time he logs on to Twitter, there is a new low waiting to be hit.

In the course of his extended rant, these two tweets, according to us, are a close competitor for the prize of the most meaningless sentences spoken by human beings.

More than Indian,I am a Godian n becos God is bigger than jst a country,whatever God creates anywhere in world I luv to chose from his best

β€” Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) November 9, 2016

So in effect I am not only reversibly racist and noblistly sexist,but I am also truthfulist,intellectualist and a sincere common sensist

β€” Ram Gopal Varma (@RGVzoomin) November 9, 2016

But then what better could you expect of a Trump supporter?
