Almost four years ago, we told you about the Director of the female 'Ghostbusters' reboot blaming Donald Trump for its big flop. He apparently hasn't gotten over it.
Paul Feig says he investigated the fans mad about his female #Ghosbusters reboot and 'so many were Trump supporters'

"Then Donald Trump came out against us. He was like ... 'They’re making Ghostbusters with only women. What’s going on?’ and got all upset. Everybody went… pic.twitter.com/HpmlgJvG46
Feig leaves out an important part of the story.
I mean okay, but the film literally did a promotional tweet for Hillary Clinton. https://t.co/4EyFsvhSwg

Oh, that part. Perhaps that's why Trump wasn't wild about the show.

A whole tweet in support of the Hillary campaign but Trump is the one who made it political or something.
We should definitely relitigate a movie that came out 8 years ago. I guess Paul needs some attention

Clearly, his pride took quite the hit.
He investigated this?! Lmao

He clearly has too much time on his hands.
"Let's put together 4 unfunny women instead of Aykroyd, Murray, and Ramis. Surely people will enjoy it more."

Then, they came out in support of a candidate half of America hated. That didn't go over so well.
They should make a Lady Ghostbusters sequel but invite Trump to do a cameo in it so everyone will love it.

Funny that many of the responses are women who hate Trump saying the movie was bad.

The movie was bad. It's director just can't admit that.
"It's Trump's fault my movie failed" says Hillary supporter.

This is typical of those afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
They'll never admit that the movie sucked.

When in doubt blame Trump and everyone else. God forbid Paul Feig admit that he made a movie that nobody wanted and ended up being a cringe fest… Call a spade a spade. https://t.co/x7Oi1W90J7

I’m Not a trump supporter just here to say the movie simply sucked. https://t.co/DnlsPR7Uj1

I'm a guy and also not a Trump supporter, and this movie was horrible. The only positive thing I can say about this movie is the special effects looked great. Everything else sucked. https://t.co/FxOtLunt2b

See? There are some areas of universal agreement.
doesn't matter who the viewers supported - it was a bad movie and a 'reboot' too. https://t.co/S9WHOaJDHM

Feig should just own up and take one on the chin. He has talent. 'Spy' was a great send up of the genre, but Ghostbusters was a ham fisted bastardization of the original material with no rudder. Everything about it felt forced/artificial, like one big promotional advertisement. https://t.co/CK9H1nts9e

Maybe admit Trump isn't the source of all of his failures, as well.
