The author highlights an example from the 97th Academy\u2064 Awards \u200bwhere \u2064host Conan O\u2019Brien made\u2063 a joke that seemed to indirectly disparage \u200cTrump, tying it to the themes\u2063 of a film that won multiple Oscars. The\u2063 film, &#8220;Anora,&#8221; involves a story with a Russian \u2064antagonist, which O\u2019Brien exploited to make \u200ba point about \u2064standing up against powerful Russians, implicitly linking it to Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The text critiques Hollywood&#8217;s response to TDS, noting that many there have \u2062become critics \u200bof\u200b Trump, often without recognizing\u2062 the nuances of international conflicts like the Ukraine-Russia \u200cwar.\u200c The author argues that a narrative has been constructed that categorizes Trump, russia, \u2063and Ukraine into simplistic terms of good and\u200b evil, which they claim aligns\u200d with years of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hungary-deals-huge-blow-to-ukraine-blocks-over-50b-in-aid\/\" title=\"Hungary cripples ..., halts B aid\">media\u200c propaganda<\/a>. The passage concludes by suggesting that this mindset has led to a \u200dlack of awareness \u2062regarding\u200b the complexities of global politics and increased conflict.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Irrational hatred of President Donald Trump, more commonly known as Trump Derangement Syndrome, leads to a variety of symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>In Hollywood, for instance, TDS has turned actors and actresses into mindless warmongers.<\/p>\n<p>At Sunday&rsquo;s 97th Academy Awards, host and comedian Conan O&rsquo;Brien gave the TDS-afflicted audience what it wanted when he made a reference to an award-winning film then used that reference to take a very thinly veiled shot at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bombshell-report-fbi-obstruction-may-protecting-accomplices-trump-assassin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The film in question, &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt28607951\/?ref_=ttpl_ov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anora<\/a>,&rdquo; won five Oscars, including best picture.

In Hollywood, for example, TDS has transformed actors and actresses into unthinking advocates for war. During the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday, host Conan O\u2019Brien catered to the TDS-influenced audience by referencing an award-winning film and using it to subtly criticize Trump. The film &#8220;Anora,&#8221; which won five Oscars including Best Picture, tells the story of a young escort from Brooklyn who marries the son of a Russian oligarch, only to have her fairy tale threatened when his parents come to New York seeking an annulment. <\/p>\n<p>Upon returning from a commercial break, O\u2019Brien noted that &#8220;Anora&#8221; had already won two awards that night and quipped about Americans being excited to see someone stand up against a powerful Russian. Although he didn\u2019t mention Trump directly, the implication was clear\u2014especially considering Trump&#8217;s recent public confrontation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy regarding Ukraine&#8217;s ongoing conflict with Russia.<\/p>\n<p>As expected, liberals suffering from TDS reacted strongly. They ignored Trump&#8217;s efforts to end the violence in Ukraine and overlooked Hollywood&#8217;s past admiration for Soviet Communism. Over eight years ago, mainstream media began falsely linking Trump with Russia through narratives like the 2016 election collusion claims and impeachment over his call with Zelenskyy.<\/p>\n<p>This propaganda campaign effectively shaped public perception: \u201cTrump bad; Russia bad; Ukraine good.\u201d When Putin invaded Ukraine in February 2022, this narrative took hold quickly as social media users displayed Ukrainian flags without fully understanding where Ukraine is located but recalling their programmed views on Trump\u2019s alleged connections.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Brien\u2019s joke merely tapped into this long-standing conditioning; Hollywood audiences preferred cheering for such remarks over acknowledging real-world consequences like battlefield deaths or potential global conflict stemming from their TDS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2409034,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Conan-OBrien.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[7958,45083,4361,6445,3634],"class_list":["post-2409033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-comedy","tag-conan-obrien","tag-hollywood","tag-oscars","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Conan-OBrien.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2409033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2409033"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2409033\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2409037,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2409033\/revisions\/2409037"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2409034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2409033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2409033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2409033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
